This paper presents a progress report on the U. S. research which has been designated as collaborative research with the Soviet Union to study the biological effects of nonionizing radiation on the central nervous system, behavior, and blood. Results of investigations to study the effects of microwaves on isolated nerves, synaptic function, transmission of neural impulses, electroencephalograph...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal subtype of glioma, classified as a WHO grade 4 infiltrative glioma. The etiology of GBM remains unknown and risk factors can be identified only in a small minority. We report the synchronous occurrence of GBM in an otherwise unrelated married couple, i.e. a husband and his wife, who developed GBM within an interval of 1 month. No specific causati...

Several publications in the scientific literature have raised concern about the individual and public health impact of adverse non-ionizing radiation (a-NIR) from electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure emanating from certain power, electrical and wireless devices commonly found in the home, workplace, school and community. Despite the many challenges in establishing irrefutable scientific proof o...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the exposure to electric fields and magnetic fields of non-ionizing radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum (15 Hz to 100 kHz) in the dwellings of children from the Spanish Environment and Childhood-"INMA" population-based birth cohort. METHODOLOGY The study sample was drawn from the INMA-Granada cohort. Out of 300 boys participating in the 9-10 year follow-up, 123...

Chromosome aberrations (CAs) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) frequencies were estimated in peripheral lymphocytes from 21 radiology technicians, and from 21 non-exposed control subjects. We exclusively considered individuals who neither smoke nor consume drugs or alcohol for a period of at least two years prior to the analysis. Significant differences were found between exposed and contro...

The terahertz (THz) band lies between microwave and infrared rays in wavelength and consists of non-ionizing radiation. Both domestic and foreign research institutions, including the army, have attached considerable importance to the research and development of THz technology because this radiation exhibits both photon-like and electron-like properties, which grant it considerable application v...

Ionizing radiations (4), carcinogenic hydrocar bons (12), and estrogenic hormones (8) are leuke mogenic for mice of specific genetic constitutions (8). Synergistic and additive effects of x-rays and methylcholanthrene have been demonstrated (1, 13). A preliminary paper has been published on the synergistic action of x-rays and an estrogenic hormone (9). In the present report genetic requirement...

We study the relationship between the mid-IR (5-18 µm) emission of late-type galaxies and various other star formation tracers in order to investigate the nature of the dust heating sources in this spectral domain. The analysis is carried out using a sample of 123 normal, late-type, nearby galaxies with available data at several frequencies. The mid-IR luminosity (normalized to the H-band lumin...
