Here we have to distinguish between biological changes (which are proved by experimental observations at the cellular level) and pathological effects (causing or worsening of disease) proved by epidemiological studies. Effects of radiation on the list of health, presented here is actually just a small sample of large studies, reported in the present time in the scientific literature. Pay attention!Links to articles, reports, studies, video reports on this topic can be found in the text material, and at the end. Biological effects of electromagnetic radiation Here are some of the biological changes according to research vyzvannyhelektromagnitnym radiation (first — the most recent data): Protein changes in the skin. Ten women volunteered to participate in the proposed study in which they were EMP (900 mH) via GSM mobile phones for one hour. After the experiment, scientists seized for investigation of skin cells in order to find any stress reactions. They investigated 580 different proteins and found two that were significantly affected. (He has been increased by 89%, while the other is reduced by 32%). Source — «NewScientist» on February 23, 2008. Anomalies of development and quality of sperm. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 361 male sperm quality, tested in the clinic issledoaniya fertility. On average, those who have spent many hours talking on the cell phone, showed a low sperm count, and increased rates of sperm abnormality. Source — «New Zealand Herald». Irritation of brain cells. Researchers from Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Isola Tiberina, found that elektromagnitnoepole emitted by cell phones can cause some cells in the cerebral cortex (adjacent to the side of the head where the phone is used) is strongly excited by the hour, while others become depressed. Source — «Health24» — June 27, 2006 DNA damage. German research group Verum studied the effect of radiation on human and animal cells. After the cells were placed in the electromagnetic field of a cell phone — they showed an increase in the gap in their DNA that are not always able to be recovered. This damage can be passed on to future cells which, in turn, could develop into malignant tumors. Source — «USA Today», December 21, 2004 Damage to brain cells. Study the effects of cell phone frequencies (applied at non-thermal intensity) on rat brain showed damage to neurons (brain cells) in different parts of the brain, including the cortex, hippocampus and the main ganglia.

Researchers at the National Research Council in Bologna, Italy showed that leukemia cells exposed to cell phone frequencies (900 mH) for 48 hours, have become more active breed.

Researchers in Germany have found that a one-time use of a cell phone for 35 minutes could cause an increase in the normal blood pressure by 5-10 mm. Source — "Lancet", June 20, 1998 The adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation. Here are some of the pathological (bolezneobrazuyuschih) effects vyzvannyeelektromagnitnym radiation, published in the media (in reverse chronological order): Cancer of the salivary gland. Israeli researchers report that people who used cell phones for 22 hours a month or more, up to 50 percent more likely to develop cancer slyunnoyzhelezy than those who used cell phones rarely or never used them. Source — «Health24», February 19, 2008 Brain Tumor. The analysis of several previous studies led to the conclusion that the use of a cell phone for more than 10 years with an increased risk of acquisition of certain types of brain tumors (2.4 times for acoustic neuroma and 2 times for gliomas).

Researchers from the University of Tasmania and the University of Bristol studied the records of 850 patients who were diagnosed with cancers of the bone marrow and lymphatic system. They found that people living within 300 meters of high voltage power lines over a long period (especially a child), 5 times more at risk of developing these diseases later in life.

Researchers in California have found that electromagnetic radiation from electrical appliances (such as vacuum cleaners, hair dryers and mixers) can significantly increase the risk of miscarriage in women. Source — "Journal of Epidemiology", January 2002 Suicide. American researchers have found that the growth rate of suicide among 5000 workers operating the technical facilities related to electricity, which had been exposed to very low frequencies, doubled compared to the results of the control group of the same size. The effect was particularly expressive of young workers. "Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine", March 15, 2000 In addition to the above — produced a lot of other studies, but not all of them got the attention of the media. The list of diseases caused by exposure to electromagnetic radiation on health Life-threatening Diseases - Alzheimer disease - Brain cancer (adult and child) - Breast cancer (male and female) - Depression (suicidal) - Heart disease - Leukemia (adult and child) - Miscarriages Other conditions: - Allergies - Autism - Elevated blood pressure - Electro-sensitivity - Headaches - Hormonal changes - Damage to the immune system - Damage to the nervous system - Sleep Disorders - Sperm abnormalities How Does Amy? Some scientists previously believed that the only way by which izlucheniemoglo produce harmful effects in its intensity was sufficient to cause the effect of heating tissue. (Previously, it was reported that talking on a cell phone for half an hour can raise the temperature in that part of the brain where the head came in contact with her staff). Subsequently, this theory has been roundly condemned by many studies, which proved that the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation is not enough to harm. The mechanisms by which electromagnetic radiation can trigger the disease, is not yet fully understood, but actively conducting experiments on the subject. DNA damage. Our cells have mechanisms to partially compensate the damage caused to DNA, but, apparently, the EMR may violate these mechanisms. DNA damage is involved directly in the development of several diseases, including various types of cancer. Protective antiviral mechanism of the host cell (interference) with the production of melatonin. Electromagnetic radiation is introduced into the process of the production of melatonin, a hormone produced in the human body. We have already proved that low melatonin levels are associated with several diseases, including cancer. (Recent research indicates that the production of seratonin can also be affected by EMI). The effect on cell-cell communication. Our body cells communicate internally and externally through electric signals. These signals can be changed by electromagnetic radiation through the production of electrical currents within the body, causing changes in cellular activity and cell structures. The harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on health may depend on … At this stage we do not have all the answers, but the tips of various studies indicate that the health effects of EMF may depend on: The intensity of the radiation. Getting into the zone of strong electromagnetic waves can be harmful, even if briefly. In one study of pregnant volunteers were asked to wear a device that measures the intensity of the highest (peak) for EMI day period. The results indicated that higher peak levels of RF correlated with higher rates of damage to health (miscarriage). Cumulative effect of radiation. During the day the person is exposed to electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies. For example, they may come from electric shavers and hair dryers, the equipment of cars, buses or trains, household items such as heaters, ovens and microwaves, neon lamps, home wiring, power lines, carrying and using a cell phone. These are the most common sources. The combination of these effects can overwhelm the body's defenses and defense mechanisms. The duration of the EMP. Numerous studies indicate that damage to health is beginning to be noticeable only after many years of exposure EMR, such as from power lines of high voltage, or cell phones. Transience of EMF. More biological stress from exposure to electromagnetic radiation the body is under the instruments, with volatile, fluctuating cycle (photocopier, printer, etc.), rather than in regular employment. Frequency EMF. So far, not known for certain what type of electromagnetic waves cause adverse health effects, but it seems to have different frequencies cause a variety of negative effects.
