A Study of the Biological Effects of Certain ELF Electromagnetic Fields

A. P. Krueger, E. J. Reed · 1975

Researchers exposed young mice to simulated ELF electromagnetic fields at 45 Hz and 75 Hz at 100 V/m and measured growth rate, serotonin metabolism, and susceptibility to influenza virus. No significant difference in growth rate was found between exposed and control mice across experiments lasting 12 to 26 days. Four separate influenza challenge tests at 75 Hz and 100 V/m found no evidence of altered resistance using cumulative mortality rates and LD50 titers.

Changes in certain protective reactions of an organism under the influence of SW in experimental and industrial conditions

Volkova AP, Fukalova PP · 1974

In laboratory experiments, one group of outbred white rats was exposed to 14.88 MHz short waves at 2,250 V/m for one hour, a second group at 100 V/m for four hours, and a third group served as controls. Workers at a station where field intensities exceeded permissible limits showed two-fold lower phagocytic activity and four-fold higher mouth autoflora, while workers at stations within limits had values within normal ranges.

Die bioklimatologische Bedeutung des elektrostatischen Gleichfeldes / The Bioclimatological Importance of the Constant Electrostatic Field

G. Fischer · 1973

Researchers exposed NMRI-Hahn mice to a constant electrostatic field of 24000 Volt/m, a Faraday cage, or normal lab conditions for 10 days and measured total activity, food intake, and water consumption. Total activity increased in the electrostatic field and decreased in the Faraday cage, with differences highly significant (p = < 0,001). Liver oxygen consumption was significantly higher in mice from the field chamber and lower in mice from the Faraday cage compared to controls. After 15 days exposure to fields of 40, 200, 1000, 5000, and 24000 V/m, plaque-forming cells in the spleen increased most at 1000–5000 V/m, while the Faraday cage reduced plaque counts below control levels. Rectal temperature rose from 37,5°C to 37,8°C in mice exposed to the field for 20 days.

Depression of phagocytosis: a non-thermal effect of microwave radiation as a potential hazard to health

C. P. MAYERS, J. A. HABESHAW · 1973

Researchers exposed mouse macrophage monolayers perfused with human red blood cells to 2450 MHz microwave radiation at 50 mW/cm² for 30 minutes while maintaining temperature at 37°C. The phagocytic index fell to 6.3 ± 2.5 per cent in irradiated cultures compared with 20.2 ± 5.8 per cent in unirradiated controls, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.025). Phagocytic activity returned to normal after radiation was stopped, and no morphological changes were observed in the macrophages.

UHF IRRADIATION AND THE WORKER IN INDUSTRY

M. N. Sadchikov et al. · 1972

Researchers examined 59 workers with radiowave disease who were exposed to UHF electromagnetic fields up to several milliwatts per 1 em. Extracranial vessels showed a similar 48 percent reduction in hyperemia and a 57 percent increase in tone, while peripheral circulation in hands and feet remained within normal ranges. Rabbits irradiated at 50 microvolts per em2 for four hours daily over four months showed reduced phagocytic activity.
