Biological effects from electromagnetic field exposure and public exposure standards.
During recent years there has been increasing public concern on potential health risks from power-frequency fields (extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields; ELF) and from radiofrequency/microwave radiation emissions (RF) from wireless communications. Non-thermal (low-intensity) biological effects have not been considered for regulation of microwave exposure, although numerous scientific ...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of Metallothionein 1 and 2 after Exposure to Electromagnetic Field in Mouse Testis
Background: It is proved that testis is sensitive to electromagnetic field (EMF) and its damage results in infertility. Exposure to EMF induces reactive oxygen species production and affects on anti-oxidants defense mechanisms. Metallothionein (MT) is a name for a group of low molecular weight (6-7 kDa), sulfhydryl rich proteins. Expression of MT1 and MT2 genes in testis tissue after EMF exposu...
متن کاملHistorical review of RF exposure standards and the International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES).
Focused research on the biological effects of exposure of humans and animals to radio frequency (RF) and microwave energy goes back at least five decades. The history of committees that develop safety standards based on the results of this research goes back almost as far. One such committee that has played a major role in developing such standards is the International Committee on Electromagne...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of Lipocalin 2 Expression in Mouse Testis after Exposure to Electromagnetic Field
Background: The effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) on reproductive system have been of critical concern for a long time. It has been shown that the EMF can adversely affect testicular cells and tissue and decrease male fertility. The most important determinants of male fertility are sperm development and motility, which are affected by changes in several factors including lipocalin 2 protei...
متن کاملDeficits on passive avoidance learning after exposure to electromagnetic field in male rats
The interaction of electromagnetic fields (EMF) with living organisms presents an increasing source of interest nowadays. There are reports on the influence of EMFs on memory. In this study, the effect of a 50 Hz, 50G EMF was investigated on passive avoidance learning in male rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats (n = 50, 6-8 weeks, 250-300 g) were randomly divided into five groups. Control ...
