Radiofrequency radiations constitute a new form of environmental pollution. Among them, millimeter waves (MMW) will be widely used in the near future for high speed communication systems. This study aimed therefore to evaluate the biocompatibility of MMW at 60 GHz. For this purpose, we used a whole gene expression approach to assess the effect of acute 60 GHz exposure on primary cultures of hum...

During recent decades, there has been a marked decline of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) population in the United Kingdom and in several western European countries. The aims of this study were to determine whether the population is also declining in Spain and to evaluate the hypothesis that electromagnetic radiation (microwaves) from phone antennae is correlated with the decline in the s...

There is an increased interest in the development of high performance microwave shielding materials against electromagnetic pollution in recent years. Barium ferrite decorated reduced graphene oxide (BaFe12O19@RGO) nanocomposite was synthesized by a high energy ball milling technique and its electromagnetic properties were investigated in the frequency range of 12.4-18 GHz (Ku band). The result...

Günümüzde hızla büyüyen teknoloji ile birlikte, elektromanyetik kirlilik ve zararlı etkileri de artmıştır. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar artmakla birlikte bölgesel ya da noktasal ölçümler daha bir anlam kazanmıştır. çalışmada, ilk olarak Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi (RTEÜ) merkez kampüsünde değerleri incelenmiştir. kapsamda, günün farklı saat dilimlerinde, 21 noktada ölçümleri yapılmıştır. ...

In general terms, lighting research has been focused in the development of artificial light with the purpose of saving energy and having more durable lamps. However, the consequences that artificial night lighting could bring to the human being and living organisms have become an important issue recently. Light pollution represents a significant problem to both the environment and human health ...
