Many biological effects of exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields(ELF-EMFs) have been documented, but little work carried out on plants. A meiotic study wasperformed on Brassica napus L as C3 plant and Zea mays L as a C4 plant exposed to electromagneticfields. Our investigations were focused on plants grown from wet pretreated seeds with3 and 10 mT for a 4 h exposure time an...

background: the health effect of rapidly increasing everyday exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation is a major global concern. mobile phone jammers prevent the mobile phones from receiving signals from base stations by interfering with authorized mobile carriers’ services. in spite of the fact that mobile jammer use is illegal, they are occasionally used in offices, shrines, conference ...

Ab initio calculations performed on a series of lanthanide encapsulated fullerenes reveal {DyOSc}@C82 to be one of the best host-guest pairs to offer a barrier height exceeding 1400 cm-1. The high-symmetry environment preserved inside the cage quenches the QTM effects up to third-excited states leading to very larger barrier heights and this opens up a new possibility of obtaining attractive SM...

background: the rapidly increasing use of mobile phones has led to public concerns about possible health effects of these popular communication devices. this study is an attempt to investigate the effects of radiofrequency (rf) radiation produced by gsm mobile phones on the insulin release in rats. methods: forty two female adult sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. group1 w...

Effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human cell lines were described in numerous studies, but still many questions remain unanswered. Our experiment was designed with the aim of studying the effects of EMFs on the metabolic activity of chondrocytes in vitro. Human chondrocyte in vitro cultures, cultured in medium supplemented with 20 % fetal calf serum, were exposed to static magnetic fi...

As to the long standing debate about whether EMFs can cause cancer, researchers hope this study will add to the already substantial body of evidence. The most extensive study to date, released in late October by the National Resource Council, found no conclusive evidence that EMFs cause cancer. A team of EMF specialists will use a special meter to take spot measurements on electromagnetic field...

Over the last decade, detrimental effects of human exposure to electromagnetic radiations have received widespread attention. Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) in Saudi Arabia has set guidelines and launched a national project—in collaboration with academic and research institutions—to perform measurements of the “electromagnetic fields” (EMFs) radiated from base stati...

The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of the radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human resting EEG with a control of some parameters that are known to affect alpha band, such as electrode impedance, salivary cortisol, and caffeine. Eyes-open and eyes-closed resting EEG data were recorded in 26 healthy young subjects under two conditions: sham exposure and r...

The safety of human exposure to an ever-increasing number and diversity of electromagnetic field (EMF) sources both at work and at home has become a public health issue. To date, many in vivo and in vitro studies have revealed that EMF exposure can alter cellular homeostasis, endocrine function, reproductive function, and fetal development in animal systems. Reproductive parameters reported to ...

A number of papers dealing with the effects of modern, man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the immune system are summarized in the present review. EMFs disturb immune function through stimulation of various allergic and inflammatory responses, as well as effects on tissue repair processes. Such disturbances increase the risks for various diseases, including cancer. These and the EMF effec...
