Physiological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields in the ELF Region II. A Review

W. Ludwig, M. A. Persinger, K.-P. Ossenkopp · 1973

Researchers exposed rats prenatally to a 0.5 Hz, 0.5—30 gauss rotating magnetic field and observed behavioral and physiological changes. Prenatally exposed rats showed less ambulatory behavior and greater defecation in an open field test. In a free-operant avoidance task, exposed rats pressed the lever significantly less but received similar numbers of shocks as controls. Exposed rats also had significantly increased relative thyroid and testicle weights, with no changes in blood sugar or eosinophil counts.

Deformity and Intra-Uterine death after short wave therapy

Dietzel F, Kern W, Steckenmesser R · 1972

Researchers exposed 749 pregnant rats to a single abdominal short-wave treatment during the first 16 days of pregnancy, raising rectal temperatures to about 40° within 10 minutes. Treatment on the first two days of pregnancy caused 65% embryo deaths compared to 25% in controls. Embryonic injuries occurred only when maternal rectal temperature reached at least 40° for 10 minutes; lower temperatures caused no injuries.

Hypogonadism After Microwave Radiation

David S. Rosenthal, Steven G. Beering · 1968

Researchers reported a case of a 31-year-old man repeatedly exposed at close range to high-powered microwave emission over a four-year period. Testicular biopsy revealed tubular atrophy with focal necrosis and interstitial edema. Hypospermia continued for at least a year after the patient's last exposure.

NEW WAYS TO CONTROL INSECTS

Nelson, Stuart O. · 1966

Gamma and x radiation eradicated screwworm and melon fly through reproductive sterilization. Insect light traps controlled tobacco hornworm populations. Grain beetles were killed by y rays, radiofrequency electric fields, or infrared radiation without harming grain nutrition. The possibility of using sound and ultrasonic energy to control insect population age was suggested.

Effects of Chronic Microwave Irradiation on Mice

S. Prausnitz, C. Susskind · 1962

Two hundred male mice were exposed daily for 59 weeks to 0.100 w/cm’ for 4.5 minutes, producing an average body temperature rise of 3.3°C. A control group of 100 mice was sham-irradiated in a mock-up chamber at room temperature. Longevity did not differ between groups, with mortality slightly higher in controls. Body weight, body temperature response, and blood picture showed no evident changes. Testicular degeneration (tubule atrophy) was found in 40 per cent of dead irradiated mice versus 8 per cent of controls, and white cell neoplasms (leucosis) in 35 per cent versus 10 per cent.
