RF and Magnetic Field Effects on Biological Systems, Possible Health Effects, and Communications Within and Between Cells
In this talk I will present some new results that have helped improve our understanding of the ways in which RF and magnetic fields can affect biological systems. It has been an open question if cell phones and magnetic fields from powerlines can cause cancers and other health problem.
New data will be presented showing both increase and decrease in the growth rates of cancer cells upon exposure to weak RF and magnetic fields along with changes in the concentrations of reactive oxygen and other biological signaling molecules. Additionally, we have observed the emission from growing fibrosarcoma cells and bacteria of about 10-13W in the range of 0.5 MHz to 10MHz indicating the possibility a short-range communication within and between cells.
