Research Overview
- -When 95% of nearly 3,800 peer-reviewed studies document biological effects from electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, we're looking at a weight of evidence that demands attention.
- -This isn't fringe science or industry speculation-it's the consistent finding across independent research examining how radiofrequency radiation, extremely low frequency fields, and other non-ionizing EMF sources interact with human physiology.
- -The question isn't whether effects occur, but which ones matter most to you and your family.
When 95% of nearly 3,800 peer-reviewed studies document biological effects from electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, we're looking at a weight of evidence that demands attention. This isn't fringe science or industry speculation-it's the consistent finding across independent research examining how radiofrequency radiation, extremely low frequency fields, and other non-ionizing EMF sources interact with human physiology. The question isn't whether effects occur, but which ones matter most to you and your family. The documented effects span multiple biological systems.
That's what the evidence shows across the 3,798 studies in our whole body research collection: 3,591 of them identified biological changes in response to electromagnetic field exposure.
Research on chicken embryos exposed to both ELF and RF radiation demonstrated 27% less protective protein production after repeated exposures, indicating compromised cellular defense mechanisms.

The Effect of Microwaves on the Central Nervous System
W. Bergman · 1965
The study reports that centimeter-wave microwaves affect circulation, respiration, temperature control, water balance, albumin and sugar concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, hydrogen ion concentration, EEG, GSR, sleep, and conscious awareness. Depending on dosage, the waves stimulate either the sympathetic or parasympathetic system. Undamped or modulated frequencies are more effective than damped waves, and biological effects result from resonance absorption in ganglia.
NOTE SUR LA RADIOPROTECTION EXERCÉE PAR DES ONDES ULTRA COURTES VIS-A-VIS DE BACTÉRIES
L. Miro, H. Atlan, Y. Arnaud, G. Deltour, R. Loubiere · 1965
The study used a strain of Escherichia coli cultured in a nutritive medium and split into two Roux flasks. The flasks were kept for 60 hours with agitation 4 or 5 times daily and no temperature rise was observed. Survival was identical at 6,000 roentgens, increased at least tenfold at 24,000 and 48,000 roentgens, and mortality was similar again at 72,000 roentgens; the authors stated they did not intend to draw conclusions.

Comparative Studies on 1285 and 2800 Mc/sec Pulsed Microwaves
Sol M. Michaelson et al. · 1965
Researchers exposed adult mongrel dogs to pulsed microwaves at 1285 Mc/sec and 2800 Mc/sec at various power densities. Body weight loss correlated directly with power density and was similar at both frequencies at comparable intensities. At 1285 Mc/sec, rectal temperature rose markedly at 100 mW/cm² during the first week then moderated, with progressive lowering of pre-exposure temperatures suggesting adaptation.

The technical objective was to determine the reflection and absorption characteristics of the human body when exposed to microwave radiation. Transmission characteristics of a sample in a waveguide were measured starting with X-band and the work was planned to extend to other frequencies, modes, and pulsed radiation.

Lothar O. Hoeft · 1965
The model showed that the microwave intensity permitting infinite exposure is approximately the same for all species, about 30 mw/cm*. At higher intensities, smaller animals reach the temperature rise more quickly than larger animals, with humans requiring the longest time. The authors note the calculations are conservative because real heat-regulation mechanisms like sweating are more efficient than the model assumes. Measured data from dogs fell above the calculated curve, supporting the conservative estimate.

Relationship of Environmental Factors to Lenticular Changes in Microwave Workers
S. F. Cleary, B. S. Pasternack, M. Eisenbud · 1964
Researchers examined 736 microwave workers and 559 controls for subclinical lens defects using ophthalmologic examination. Lens defect incidence increased linearly with age in both groups but at a significantly greater rate in microwave workers, attributable to lens opacity and posterior polar defects correlated with exposure parameters. A retrospective study of 2,946 cataract cases and 2,164 controls found no significant increase in relative risk of cataract formation associated with military radar work.

Clostridium welchii type A toxin showed no change in toxicity when tested by human serum opacity and mouse lethality studies. Flocculation tests found no change in antitoxin combining capacity or antigenicity of diphtheria toxin. The authors questioned the efficacy of available assay procedures and called for more precise methods.

FAQs: EMF & Whole Body / General
When 95% of nearly 3,800 peer-reviewed studies document biological effects from electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, we're looking at a weight of evidence that demands attention. This isn't fringe science or industry speculation-it's the consistent finding across independent research examining how radiofrequency radiation, extremely low frequency fields, and other non-ionizing EMF sources interact with human physiology.
The SYB Research Database includes 2,429 peer-reviewed studies examining the relationship between electromagnetic field exposure and whole body / general. These studies have been conducted by researchers worldwide and published in scientific journals. The research spans multiple decades and includes various types of EMF sources including cell phones, WiFi, power lines, and other common sources of electromagnetic radiation.
93% of the 2,429 studies examining whole body / general found measurable biological effects from EMF exposure. This means that 2257 studies documented observable changes in biological systems when exposed to electromagnetic fields. The remaining 7% either found no significant effects or had inconclusive results, which is typical in scientific research where study design and exposure parameters vary.
