Impact of electromagnetic radiation on the body. EMR and the immune system

We are all literally swimming in an ocean of radio waves. The Earth's own magnetic field protects all living things from harsh solar radiation. The work of the nervous system and heart occurs using an electrical impulse. Thanks to this, we can do an ECG and EEG and find out in advance about emerging problems in the functioning of the heart and brain. Man has been successfully using electricity for medicinal purposes for a long time. Electrophoresis, microwave, UHF and others are well known to everyone.

People today cannot imagine their lives without the achievements of scientific and technological progress: televisions and computers, refrigerators and microwave ovens, electric kettles and washing machines, cell phones and much more. Sometimes these devices work simultaneously. But at this time they emit electromagnetic waves that are many times higher than the maximum permissible levels for the human body. The term “electrical noise”, which was used in the 60s, has become irrelevant and in large cities the concept of “electrical smog” is now more often used. electromagnetic radiation wave computer

All these technical improvements are of course very convenient, but few people now think about the harm they can cause to health. Insomnia, headaches, and chronic fatigue syndrome have become commonplace. The diagnosis of infertility in young healthy people forces doctors to intensively search for the cause of this. When a lot of residents die in one house within a short time, they begin to look for some mystical reasons. And they don’t think at all about the fact that the house was built during perestroika in violation of all sanitary standards and quite possibly near a source of electromagnetic radiation (power lines and a base station of a cellular radio communication system).

Back in the 60s, research was carried out in the former USSR on the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body. Many standards developed then continue to apply today in the CIS countries. Another thing is that they are not observed either intentionally or out of ignorance. For some indicators, these standards differ in different countries. In the USA and European countries they are somewhat lower than ours.

When the first hundred parts appeared, all studies about their harmful effects were stubbornly hushed up, most likely due to a conspiracy by cell phone manufacturers. Therefore, now we get the fact that everyone has not one, but two or more cell phones in their pocket or bag and is completely unaware of their harmful effects on the body. It makes a depressing impression when you see how an expectant mother talks on a cell phone for half an hour and does not realize that by doing this she is causing irreparable harm to her child. Or when a compassionate grandmother gives a hundred to her five-year-old granddaughter so that he can talk to his mother. Well, of course, the mobile operator gave as many as 90 minutes of free calls, you have to use them.

So, why is electromagnetic radiation so dangerous? Numerous studies, already included in various reference books, have revealed that the nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems are most susceptible to harmful effects. With prolonged exposure to EMF, diseases such as blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, hormonal diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases can develop. Diagnosis in such cases is usually difficult and therefore treatment begins too late, when it is no longer possible to help. All growing and developing tissues are also highly susceptible to the adverse effects of the electromagnetic field, so radiation is especially dangerous for children and pregnant women, as well as people suffering from severe cardiovascular and hormonal diseases, allergies and diseases of the nervous system.

It should be noted that the harmful effects do not decrease depending on whether the weave is expensive or not. All of them during operation emit EMF approximately 15 times higher than the permissible level.

Some people think that a cell phone is safe when it is turned off and therefore do not part with it even at night. But at this time it is in search mode for a cellular base station and is no less dangerous than when people are talking through it. It is especially undesirable to keep the weave near your head on the pillow or next to it. Everyone probably remembers the experiment conducted by Japanese students when they placed a raw egg between two working honeycombs. After a short time the egg was boiled. Approximately the same thing happens with brain tissue, especially during long conversations. An incredible number of nerve cells die during a short telephone conversation. One should not be surprised after this by patients’ complaints of absent-mindedness and memory loss.

Carrying a weave in your chest pocket increases the risk of developing a heart attack or heart rhythm disturbances. And wearing a cell phone on your belt (as many men do) leads to the development of male infertility. As a rule, a detailed examination reveals “aspermia” in them, that is, a complete absence of viable sperm, while sexual function can be preserved.

Frequent and prolonged conversations on a cell phone during pregnancy can lead to intrauterine damage to the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. It has been proven that the sensitivity of the embryo to EMF is much higher than the sensitivity of the maternal body, so intrauterine damage to the fetus can occur at any stage of its development.

It's rare that a family doesn't currently have a computer. We absolutely cannot imagine life without him. Many people even develop a kind of dependence on it. In many countries, doctors are sounding the alarm about this and consider this habit not just as an addiction, but as a serious disease comparable to alcoholism and drug addiction, which requires serious treatment. They can sit behind it nights and days. The most dangerous part of a computer, as is often considered, is not the monitor (they are mostly LCD now), but the processor. The computer is especially harmful for a young body. The fact is that EMR affects the functioning of the brain, changing its natural rhythm. As a result of such disorders, the development and maturation of individual brain structures slows down. Young parents don’t even imagine what kind of “gift” they are preparing for their child when they allow him to spend a lot of time at the computer, as long as he doesn’t bother them. This is where the beginnings of many “adult” diseases can occur, both physical and mental, when the child later needs behavior correction.

Pregnant women who work at a computer have an increased risk of premature birth and miscarriage.

There is a misconception that small laptop computers are more secure than desktop ones. But you should think carefully before placing it on your lap near your stomach, since all organs located in this area are at risk.

Having touched upon the electromagnetic radiation of computers, we must not forget about the wireless Internet WI-FI. Its effect on the body is still being studied. But there are already about 20,000 studies that prove its harmful effects, so countries such as the USA, Great Britain and Germany have increasingly begun to abandon Wi-Fi in schools, hospitals and universities. The same situation is observed here as when the first cell phones appeared. Again, manufacturers are trying to block or at least not publish the results. Therefore, if possible, spend less time on WI-FI.

The group of devices that pose a potential hazard to human health includes a microwave oven. During its operation, all tissues containing water are heated. And since we are all 80% water, microwave radiation is harmful to almost all organs and systems.

What can you do to minimize the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation? After all, people are still not able to give up all the conveniences that all this technology provides.

- When choosing household appliances, give preference to those that have a metal body. It at least partially shields electromagnetic radiation.
- Work at the computer no more than two hours a day, or at least take short breaks.
- Children under 16 years of age should use a computer for no more than 30-40 minutes. Preschool children should not sit at the computer at all. The same fully applies to their use of cell phones.
- Reduce the duration of cell phone calls to only the most urgent messages. Don’t be hostage to cellular operators, don’t fall for all kinds of promotions.
- Turn off all electrical appliances at night. Don't keep your cell phone in the bedroom.
- If possible, use a Bluetooth headset.
- When operating the microwave oven, stay at a sufficient distance from it or even leave the kitchen.

Unfortunately, many people think that to be healthy it is enough just to do morning exercises and eat right. But in our daily rapidly changing technological age, city residents are adversely affected by many other factors, and therefore they have the right to know more about this in order to preserve their own health for many years.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation, which include overhead power lines of high and ultra-high voltage, technical means of radio broadcasting, television, radio relay and satellite communications, radar and navigation systems, laser beacons, household appliances - Wi-Fi, microwave ovens, etc., have significantly affected against a natural electromagnetic background. In large areas, especially near the passage of overhead power lines of high and ultra-high voltage, radio and television centers, radar installations, the intensity of electric and magnetic fields has increased from two to five orders of magnitude, creating a real danger for people, flora and fauna. Radio frequency electromagnetic fields have become a real threat to all living things. Recently, the term electromagnetic pollution (EMF of anthropogenic origin or electromagnetic smog) has appeared, denoting a set of electromagnetic fields of various frequencies that negatively affect humans.

The purposeful use of electromagnetic (EM) energy in a wide variety of areas of human activity has led to the addition of an electromagnetic field of artificial origin to the existing natural geomagnetic background - the Earth's electric and magnetic fields, atmospheric electricity, radio emission from the Sun and the Galaxy. Its level significantly exceeds the level of natural electromagnetic background. The world's energy resources double every ten years, and the share of electromagnetic field variables (EMF) in the electric power industry during this time increases another threefold.

In contrast to the body's reactions to low-frequency EMFs, high-frequency biological effects of electromagnetic radiation are caused mainly by the thermal energy released in the irradiated tissues. Physiological mechanisms of heat transfer do not compensate for the heat production of the body that occurs under the influence of high-frequency EMF.

In the frequency range from 1.0 to 300 MHz, the mechanisms of interaction of EMF with the body are determined by both conduction current and displacement current, and at a frequency of about 1 MHz the leading role belongs to the conduction current, and at frequencies above 20 MHz - to the displacement current. Both types of current cause tissue heating. The thermal effect increases as the frequency of the external field increases. High-frequency conduction current (at a frequency of more than 10 5 Hz), unlike low-frequency conduction current, does not excite nerves and muscles. The bias current also does not cause excitation.

The wavelength at frequencies from 1.0 to 3000 MHz exceeds the size of the human body. Such fields can have both local and general effects on it. The nature of the impact is determined by whether the whole body or part of it is in the field. At higher frequencies (frequency more than 3000 MHz), the wavelength is less than the size of the human body, which causes only local action of EMF. In addition, with increasing frequency, the depth of penetration of electromagnetic waves into the body decreases. The penetration depth of electromagnetic radiation into any medium is the distance at which the field amplitude decreases by e times (e = 2.718...). Having overcome this path, the electromagnetic wave retains approximately 13% of its initial intensity. The penetration depth depends not only on the frequency of the external EMF, but also on the electrical properties of the tissues into which it penetrates. For fat and bone tissue, this value is an order of magnitude greater than for muscle tissue.

Since the characteristic relaxation frequency of water falls within the frequency range of microwave radiation, it is the aqueous media of the body that absorb the energy of microwave fields to the greatest extent. Microwave waves interact weakly with the skin and fatty tissue, and are intensively absorbed in muscles and internal organs. Therefore, muscles and viscera undergo the greatest heating during microwave therapy. A lot of heat is generated in the liquids filling various cavities.

Microwave radiation is widely used in radar. Violation of safety precautions when working on radar installations can cause very serious damage to health.

Of particular interest are works concerning the study of the influence on the central nervous system of low-intensity microwave fields modulated in the frequency range of the biological object’s own biological rhythms. It has been established that the threshold intensities for microwave radiation modulated in this range are significantly lower than those that are characteristic of pulsed and continuous radiation.

A low-energy microwave field, modulated in the rhythm of the brain’s own frequencies, has a pronounced cardiotropic effect. By exposing brain (nervous) tissue to EMFs modulated by the frequency of the brain’s own biorhythms, it is possible to enhance the biological effect of EMFs due to resonance phenomena.

Resonant processes associated with human biological rhythms play a significant role. Resonant strengthening or weakening of these rhythms, the appearance of harmonics and subharmonics, and the results of cross-modulation in nonlinear cell elements can give rise to various psychophysiological effects with negative consequences.

Among the many electromagnetic phenomena, microwave radiation (MR) deserves special attention, and the most significant contribution to microwave pollution of the OS is made by radar and radio relay stations and other objects, the operation of which is based on the generation of EMR in the microwave range. People who work at tropospheric, satellite, radio and radar stations experience headaches, irritability, drowsiness, weakened memory, etc.

Based on the dose and nature of exposure, acute and chronic damage from microwave radiation is distinguished (Table 1). Acute lesions include disorders resulting from short-term exposure to microwave energy flux density (EFD), which causes a thermogenic effect. Chronic damage is the result of prolonged exposure to MVI subthermal PPE.

*—intensity values are the lowest found in the literature.

On the part of the cardiovascular system, neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) of the hypertensive type and myocardial dystrophy, accompanied by rapidly progressing coronary insufficiency, were observed. The peripheral blood picture was characterized by leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Specialists servicing electromagnetic devices reveal a phase nature of changes in the peripheral circulatory system. In the initial period, a moderate decrease in the content of hemoglobin and red blood cells may be observed. Subsequently, these indicators increase and sometimes significantly exceed the norm. The number of leukocytes at first tends to increase compared to the norm. After seven to nine years of contact, a tendency toward a decrease in leukocytes appears. In persons with 7-12 years of experience, persistent leukopenia is possible. Some people experience changes in their blood clotting parameters.

Biological studies have established that the most sensitive to the effects of EMR are: the central nervous system, eyes, and gonads. In this case, disturbances in the activity of the cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, hematopoietic, immune systems and metabolic processes may occur. Research has shown that the human reproductive system is very sensitive to EMF radiation. At the same time, a fairly high percentage of cases of impotence and a decrease in testosterone in the blood have been identified in men. Women may experience reproductive dysfunction (toxicosis of pregnancy, spontaneous miscarriages, pathology of childbirth).

The human body is not indifferent to the localization of EM energy on certain organs (when using hand-held radiotelephones, this is the head; portable walkie-talkies, the lower back or back). There is a clear dependence of bioeffects on the field intensity, polarization and direction of waves, the ratio of the sizes of organs and the human body with the EMR wavelength. The difficulty is that it is necessary to take into account all the variety of factors that determine the amount of absorbed EM energy, dielectric properties of tissues, geometry, mass, orientation of the biological object, EMF polarization, configuration and characteristics of the source, exposure, intensity and frequency of radiation, all features of generation and propagation Microwave EMI.

Radiation at a frequency of 900 MHz, permitted for mobile radiotelephones, has a particularly high permeability, and a “resonance effect” often occurs in the head. True, there are large differences in individual sensitivity. There are many models and modifications of radiotelephones and they differ significantly from each other in power and wavelength. Therefore, it is possible to talk about the specific impact of a particular device only after appropriate certification.

The target for microwave radiation is a molecule with EM properties. These are, first of all, water molecules. The living human body mainly (95% in infancy and 60% in old age) consists of water. All substances, when dissolved in water, form hydration shells. Weak low-frequency EMFs change metastable structures in water, which sharply reduces the concentration of potassium ions and leads to the formation of active free radicals.

The EM energy of microwave radiation affecting water turns into thermal energy and subsequent bioeffects in cells and tissues are associated with an increase in their temperature locally, and then with the heating of the entire organism. The greater the magnitude of the microwave wave, the deeper the thermal burn in the tissues. An increase in temperature causes excitation of thermoreceptors. Mechanoreceptors in the lesion site are also irritated due to the “volume effect” of heated tissue fluid.

Simultaneously with the thermal effect, a resonance effect also appears in the destruction of DNA molecules, ATP, and a decrease in the degree of binding of K +, Ca 2+ and other ions. The permeability of membranes for K + and Na + changes. It has been proven that the main mechanism of the influence of LF EMR on biological objects is determined by the fact that at E = 30 kV/m, every second 10 4 Na + ions are introduced into the cell and the same number of K + ions are removed, which requires an increase in energy consumption.

The share of microwave energy absorption by water is: at frequencies of 1 GHz - 50%, 10 GHz - 90%, and at 30 GHz - 98%. The effect of microwave energy absorption by cells and tissues is a thermal and non-thermal effect. The structure and functions of the nerve cell, red blood cell, and other cells are disrupted. Organs that do not contain blood vessels (lens, testes, ovaries, etc.) overheat most intensely. In this sense, the “target organ” for microwaves is the eye, gonads and sperm.

The thermal effect spreads to the central nervous system, exciting and overexciting it. The central nervous system is affected very early due to the direct and indirect action of microwave radiation through the efferent system. The vicious circles include the endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. In the later stages, signs of energy exhaustion and depression of brain centers occur.

With chronic exposure to microwave radiation, radio wave disease develops with disruption of the functions of all regulatory systems, as a result of which labor productivity sharply drops and mental disorders are observed. Radiation in the radio range causes a person to experience noise and whistling. More than twenty years ago, even the discovery of the effect of radio audibility was reported. Its essence is that people who were in the field of a powerful radio broadcasting station heard “inner voices,” speech, music, etc.

The complex of negative EMFs is the direct cause of many diseases. The human body sensitively responds to the wave load, first with a decrease in performance, weakening of attention, emotional instability, and then an avalanche of diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, most internal organs and especially the kidneys and liver.

EMF has an adverse effect on the body and, under certain conditions, can serve as a prerequisite for the formation of pathological conditions among the population exposed to its chronic effects. EMF leads to the development of the aging syndrome, the signs of which are a decrease in performance and immunity, the presence of many diseases, early disturbances in cholesterol levels, suppression of the reproductive system, the development of age-related pathology in the early years (hypertension, cerebral atherosclerosis). The timing of the occurrence of disorders in the body when exposed to EMFs depends on many factors: frequency range, duration of exposure (work experience), localization of exposure (general or local), the nature of the EMF (modulated, continuous, intermittent) and others. In this case, the individual characteristics of the organism play a significant role. It has been experimentally proven that exposure to modulated EMFs can cause effects opposite to those of unmodulated EMFs. The use of pulsed EMF in experiments makes it possible to obtain a more pronounced biological effect than with continuous irradiation. The great biological activity of pulsed radiation is also evidenced by the greater sensitivity of the cholinergic systems of the brain to them.

In recent years, it has been convincingly proven that disturbances in body functions under the influence of microwave radiation occur not only due to the formation of excess heat in tissues. Consequently, the biophysical mechanisms of the effect of EMF on biological systems cannot be reduced to the two discussed above: overheating in high-frequency fields and excitation in low-frequency fields. Currently, the attention of researchers of the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation is focused on the third mechanism. It is called specific. The most characteristic feature of the specific effect of EMF on the body is that biological systems react to radiation of extremely low intensity, insufficient for excitation and heating, but such reactions do not occur in the entire range of EMF, but at certain frequencies. Therefore, the third type of reactions of biological systems to EMFs also has such names as resonant and weak interactions, frequency-dependent biological effects of EMFs.

FREQUENCY DEPENDENT BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMF

The frequency-dependent biological effects of EMF described to date are few and yet diverse, which makes their classification difficult.

Under the influence of microwave radiation, some bacteria (for example, E. coli) synthesize a peculiar protein - colicin, which has antigenic properties for bacteria of other strains. This is observed only at certain frequencies (from 45.6 to 46.1 GHz) at a fairly low field intensity (down to 0.1 W m-2), although colicin synthesis also occurs under the influence of other factors. The formation of a new protein is usually explained by the selective effect of such factors, including electromagnetic waves of certain frequencies, on the genetic apparatus of the cell. The authors of this hypothesis believe that among the processes of storage and transmission of genetic information, it is not replication and transcription that change, but translation. It is likely that microwave radiation can disrupt the normal sequence of nucleotides in messenger RNA, resulting in the production of macromolecules unusual for the cell, which are not able to ensure the full performance of the corresponding functions. The synthesis of “incomplete” proteins is reflected primarily in those substrates that are actively renewed (for example, enzymes). Such disorders are associated with changes in the level of metabolic processes and physiological activity of animals, observed by a number of researchers.

Data on the effect of electromagnetic waves on the genetic apparatus of cells are scarce, contradictory and fragmentary. Thus, human gamma globulin loses its antigenic properties when exposed to electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 13.1 - 13.3-13.9 - 14.4 MHz on the blood. EMFs of other frequencies do not lead to a similar effect. At the same time, it can be explained without invoking the hypothesis about the effect of electromagnetic waves on the genetic apparatus. There is an assumption about the possibility of interaction of external EMFs with components of the plasma membrane of the cell. This explains the increased release of calcium ions from brain tissue exposed to low-frequency electromagnetic radiation. This phenomenon occurs only at certain frequencies (6-16 Hz). Particularly effective is the use not of low-frequency harmonic oscillations, but of UHF fields modulated by low frequencies (with a modulation depth of 80-90%).

The calcium hypothesis is based on information about the structure of the plasmalemma. Many of the molecules included in its composition have finite chains of amino sugars protruding into the peri-membrane space. They form on the surface of the cell membrane numerous areas of immobile negative charges that have a strong affinity for H- and Ca 2 +. These cations are adsorbed by the plasmalemma from the intercellular medium. Probably, cations fixed by the polyanionic layer of the plasmalemma of the nerve cell can provide interaction with weak EMFs. The energy of such fields is not sufficient to change the ionic permeability of the excitable membrane (that is, to activate voltage-dependent ion channels in it), but this energy may be enough to disrupt the electrostatic connection of cations with membrane amino sugars. As a result, cations leave the surface of the plasmalemma and their excess is created in the intercellular environment. According to the calcium hypothesis, this applies primarily to calcium ions. A sharp increase in the Ca 2+ gradient across the plasma membranes of CNS neurons can cause excitation as the nerve cells are excited by the incoming calcium current through the plasmalemma covering their bodies.

In addition to the ionic one, membrane and dipole theories of the interaction of EMFs with microstructures are also considered, within the framework of which the conversion of EMF energy into the kinetic energy of molecules is also associated with the concept of fluctuation-probabilistic influence realized through trigger amplifying mechanisms of a living system.

The specific effect of EMR is explained by the nonlinear nature of the field’s influence on microstructures. The mechanism of action of microwaves is to change the membrane permeability of the cell, which leads to a change in the function of the nucleotide cyclase system, affecting the activity of redox enzymes. Metabolism products via the humoral route cause changes in the physiological state. Some authors have suggested the existence of specific receptors for the perception of EMF in animals and humans.

Electromagnetic radiation of certain (resonant) frequencies can act as signals, that is, control the release of free energy of a biological system without introducing significant energy into this system from the outside. The criterion for the information impact of EMF is the predominance of the energy of the body's response reactions (changes in metabolism and physiological activity) over the energy of the external field that caused them. The energy effects of EMF are characterized by the fact that the energy of the response reactions of a biological system is less than the energy introduced into it by the field.

The biological effects of weak EMFs are determined by the high selective sensitivity to them (in a narrow spectral range) of a particular cell type. Apparently, neurons are most susceptible to weak fields. Specialized electroreceptors have been found in a few representatives of the animal world. They were not found on the person. However, the absence of both electroreceptors and specific “electrical” sensations does not indicate the impossibility of human perception of weak EMFs. One of the mechanisms of selective sensitivity of brain neurons to low-frequency radiation may be their interaction with cations (for example, Ca 2+ - according to the calcium hypothesis), when they are desorbed from the plasma membranes that previously bound them.

By analogy with the principle of operation of an amplifier (a weak signal at the input controls the redistribution of significant energy at the output), the mechanisms of response of biological systems to weak EMFs are defined as amplifying (or cooperative). Weak EMFs of certain frequencies are probably capable of performing the role of a trigger signal for some biological systems. They can interact both with charges fixed on the cell membrane and, apparently, with intracellular substrates, up to the genetic apparatus of the cell. However, the high gradient of electrical potential that exists across the plasmalemma makes it difficult for EMFs to affect intracellular systems. In some pathological conditions, the level of membrane potential decreases, which can lead to greater vulnerability of intracellular processes to external fields. This is probably due to the increased sensitivity of patients to atmospheric phenomena.

Research in recent decades has convincingly confirmed the informational role and significance of ultra-weak EMFs for biological systems, including in the ELF range under certain laws of their modulation.

The development of the idea that electrons and EMFs, as more labile than molecules (elements of living matter) carry energy, charges and information, being a kind of fuel for life processes, led many authors to the idea of the existence in the body of a system for maintaining bioelectrical homeostasis, ensuring normal physiological state of cells. The assumption that the body has a mechanism for the central regulation of physiological processes, consistent with the periodically changing parameters of the Earth's electric and magnetic fields and designed to protect against interference from sporadically occurring intense cosmic EMFs of all frequency ranges, leads to the idea of the presence of a sensory system in a highly organized organism system that perceives changes in the EMF of the external environment.

influence the course of biochemical reactions of intracellular metabolism;
influence the enzymatic activity of proteins - enzymes in the brain, liver and other structures;
influence (directly or indirectly) the processes of transmission of genetic information (transcription and translation processes);
influence the levels of sulfhydryl and other groups that determine the polarity of protein molecules;
act on neurohumoral regulation, in particular on the hypothalamic-pituitary and sympathoadrenal systems;
change the dynamics of the immune response;
change the physicochemical properties of glia, in particular, its electron optical density;
rebuild the pattern of impulse flows generated by neurons;
change the functional activity of receptors and various ion channels.

Thus, as a result of the interaction of the body with the electrical component of the EMF, biological effects of three types can occur: excitation, heating and cooperative processes. Two of them are well studied and are explained within the framework of the concept of energy interaction between the field and the body. The third effect, manifested in the perception of weak electromagnetic radiation by biological systems, has not been sufficiently studied. Its origin is apparently connected with the fact that during the evolution of biological systems, EMFs of certain frequencies performed in relation to them the mission of a carrier of information about the environment. This is obvious to the world. The information function of other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum has not yet been proven or truly explained.

FEATURES OF INTERACTION OF DIGITAL NOISE WITH LIVING SYSTEMS AND PROBLEMS OF EMR BIOLOGICAL SAFETY

The widespread use of digital technologies has led to the emergence of a new component of the human electromagnetic environment - digital noise (DN). If in general electromagnetic pollution of the environment is a matter of concern for environmental specialists, then the possible role of the digital component as an additional risk factor has not yet been considered. The need to isolate CS from the entire spectrum of the electromagnetic background is dictated by experiments on qualitatively new features of the bioeffects of CS at the cellular level.

The introduction of any new technology associated with the radiation of electromagnetic waves into the space surrounding a person is inevitably accompanied by discussions about possible health consequences. This is especially true for mobile communications, since nowadays everyone knows that microwave radiation can be far from harmless, and the radio transmitter of the subscriber device operates directly near the ear, a few centimeters from the brain. Numerous studies, however, do not yet provide a clear answer to the question: how harmful is mobile phone radiation for its user? The complexity of the problem, insufficient funding, and lobbying of manufacturing companies contribute to the fact that in the foreseeable future one can hardly expect to obtain clear conclusions on the problem under consideration. Therefore, for a qualitative assessment of the possible consequences of the influence of mobile phone EMR on the human body, we took advantage of the laws known in electromagnetic biology, as well as some provisions of the physics of living things.

The main safety criterion is considered to be the smallness of the increased EMR dose, which is determined from the considerations that the permissible exposure limit should be with a fairly good margin below the threshold, above which noticeable changes occur in the human body. International safety standards set a limit for the so-called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), the time derivative of the EMF energy absorbed by a unit of mass in the volume of a body of a given shape and density. Depending on the local standard, in different countries the SAR ranges from 10 -2 -10 -3 W/g, which, when converted into power flux density taking into account the averaging time interval, gives -10 -3 -10 -4 W/cm 2. Such orders of magnitude are guaranteed (by approximately an order of magnitude) to exceed the radiation level values obtained in model calculations and in experiments with experimental volunteers. Note, however, that all calculations and measurements refer to the carrier frequency. The relative level of radiation power outside the operating band in the microwave-eHF range does not exceed 10% and, it would seem, is even more consistent with safety standards.

It is obvious that the creators of the standards took into account only the linear dependence of possible biological effects on the absorbed dose, guided by the principle “the less, the safer.” This is indeed true for the so-called thermal factor, which is responsible for heating biological tissue when absorbing EMR. However, numerous experiments on the effects of microwave and EHF fields on living systems at various levels of organization - from microbial cells to humans - indicate the fundamental nonlinearity of susceptibility (in this case they speak of the “information factor”). As a result, the concept of biologically safe intensity becomes, to put it mildly, vague.

Moreover, until recently, the dependence of the biological response on the intensity of radiation (monochromatic or noise-like) was considered, although nonlinear, but still monotonic. CS introduces a new quality to the bioeffects of EMR - a non-monotonic dependence: with a decrease in intensity, the effect can disappear and reappear, even showing a tendency to change sign.

Let us touch upon one more aspect of the problem under discussion, namely the question of the “benefit” or “harmfulness” of a particular EMR frequency range for the body. The microwave range is considered to be rather “harmful”, including for exceeding EMR power levels (< 10 -7 Вт\см 2). С КВЧ все не так однозначно. В частности, показано, что положительное для организма (лечебное) воздействие излучений этого участка спектра, например в технологиях КВЧ –терапии, имеет место лишь при соблюдении ряда условий. А именно — сверхнизкая, порядка тепловых шумов (<10 -19 Вт/см 2), интенсивность и строго детерминированная локализация воздействия. В общем же случае, судя по многочисленным экспериментам, могут наблюдаться биоэффекты разных знаков. Это означает, что, если не впадать в излишний оптимизм, следует учитывать потенциальную опасность физиологических последствий облучения низкоинтенсивными ЭМИ, в особенности головного мозга и ушной раковины, где расположено много активных точек.

What are the features of the impact of CS on living systems? Within the framework of the concept of an endogenous coherent field that forms the integral electromagnetic framework of a living organism, the possibility of the regulatory influence of a weak external signal is assumed. It is important that such an effect must be resonant and purely individual in frequency composition, reflecting the spectrum of characteristic frequencies of a particular organism. It is obvious that digital noise with its “monochromatic broadband” spectrum turns out to be a universal tool that affects any living object. Moreover, if we are guided by the idea of \u200b\u200bthe “affinity” of external EMR with the body’s own fields of cells, then CS is simultaneously the initiator of both restorative (EHF range) and destructive (microwave) processes.

As you know, environment, nutrition and stress are the main factors that affect human health. Everything that enters our body from the outside helps or harms us.

Toxic substances, nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radiation and electromagnetic radiation destroy our health by accumulating in the body.

Even in our homes we are not protected from the influence of external factors. We live surrounded by chemicals.

Finishing materials, detergents and cleaning products are based on synthetic materials that have a carcinogenic effect on the human body. If we compare it with ozone holes and acid rain, the impact on the human body of synthetic materials inside our homes is much greater and what is most terrible is their constant exposure to people, albeit in small doses.

Therefore, it is hardly surprising that diseases caused by the influence of external influences on the body are becoming more and more common. These are not only ordinary allergies, but also oncological diseases such as cancer.

on the human body

What can we say about electromagnetic fields? Electrical wires intertwined our homes, trapping us in a web like a trap. Exposure to radiation puts everyone at risk of various diseases. And it is unlikely that most of us will be able to change anything in this regard. This is not possible for anyone right now.

Therefore, I want to dwell in more detail on influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body.

Agree, it is difficult to imagine modern life without household appliances: computers, television receivers, cellular communications, radiation from microwave ovens, all this creates an electromagnetic field that can continue to exist for some time even after all devices are turned off, like static electricity.

The immune, nervous, reproductive and endocrine systems are especially sensitive to the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body. A person’s memory deteriorates, immunity decreases, constant tension appears due to an increase in adrenaline in the blood, sexual activity decreases, and in women, the negative impact on the development of the fetus during pregnancy increases.

Those people who are constantly forced to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation most often suffer from radio wave disease. It’s not for nothing that radiologists retire very early.

What should we do if we are constantly forced to be exposed to electromagnetic influence?

Electromagnetic radiation protection

To protect workers from electromagnetic radiation, enterprises use various absorbing, reflecting materials and deflecting devices.

In everyday life, the most effective protection is distance. They also use a shungite plate called magralit, which is installed on cell phones. This greatly reduces the harmful effects on the brain of a person talking on a cell phone. Watch a video about the Magralit shungite plate:

How to protect yourself if you are involuntarily exposed to electromagnetic radiation? First of all, you need to know the degree of danger to human health of each household appliance. To do this, look at the table:

Rules for protection against electromagnetic radiation at home

When you buy household appliances, you need to check whether they meet all safety requirements and sanitary standards.
The lower the power of a household appliance, the safer this device is for human health.
It would be better if household appliances are equipped with automatic remote control (remote controls)
The distance from a person’s permanent location of a household appliance must be at least 1.5 meters
If you decide to install electric floors in your home, then choose a system with a low level of electromagnetic field.
If you are forced to turn on several devices that emit radiation, then try to stay in this room as little as possible.
Electrical wires should not be stored rolled up in rings during operation; straighten the resulting loops.
Read the instructions for the devices carefully. Safe distances must be indicated there.
The safest position is next to the computer opposite the monitor. Stay close to the sides and back of the computer. It is better to keep the distance from the monitor at 50-70cm
At night, be sure to turn off your computer from the network, especially in the rooms where you sleep.
If you are choosing a place for a bed in a room, be sure to check whether there is a computer or TV next to the wall. Walls do not protect against magnetic fields.

Long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation (from Wi-Fi, mobile phones) acts on a person as radiation. EMR affects the ability of young people to conceive and fertilize, and is one of the reasons for the birth of sick and disabled children. The reason is the long-term harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on sperm and eggs of the human genital organs.

This is especially true for those men and women who like to keep laptops on their laps for long periods of time (several hours in a row) and are also in close proximity to a Wi-Fi router. This conclusion was made by one of the authors of the special study, scientist-engineer Alistair Philips from the Netherlands.
Wi-Fi also has a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to think, that is, it has a direct effect on the brain and the ability to think, the specialist emphasized.

Judging by the number of devices that currently use WiFi, it would be hard to believe that it is not safe for human health. 10 years ago, WiFi was practically unheard of. Now Wi-Fi is everywhere. Wi-Fi routers are found in the home, workplace, and even on the street.

What is Wi-Fi and why is it dangerous?

Wi-Fi is a high-speed wireless standard for data transmission and wireless networking. Today, a significant number of mobile devices, such as smartphones, regular mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers, as well as cameras, printers, modern TVs and a number of other devices are equipped with WiFi wireless communication modules.

It would seem that Wi-Fi connections should be secure. This is actually not true.

WiFi devices emit radio frequency or microwave radiation. Wireless routers (routers, modems) and wireless computers contain transmitters that use radio frequency radiation to transmit information over space.

This radio frequency radiation can penetrate walls made of wood, concrete and metal. It also easily permeates our bodies. All electromagnetic radiation constitutes invisible “electromagnetic smog.” This smog is especially strong and dangerous in densely populated cities.

This is what invisible electromagnetic radiation looks like in an ordinary apartment:

What other types of electromagnetic radiation are there?

Electromagnetic radiation is impossible to see, and not everyone can imagine it, and therefore a normal person is almost not afraid of it. Meanwhile, if we sum up the influence of electromagnetic radiation from all devices on the planet, then the level of the Earth’s natural geomagnetic field will be exceeded millions of times. The scale of electromagnetic pollution of the human environment has become so significant that the World Health Organization has included this problem among the most pressing for humanity, and many scientists classify it as a powerful environmental factor with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.

In recent years, in cities, the number of various sources of electromagnetic radiation across the entire frequency range has increased sharply and continues to grow rapidly. These are mobile (cellular communication) systems, traffic police radars, new TV channels and many radio broadcasting stations. A particular problem is posed by the electrical equipment of buildings (transformers, cable lines, etc.), which continuously irradiate residential premises around the clock, which already contain refrigerators, irons, vacuum cleaners, electric ovens, televisions, computers and much more that we use every day. plug it into the socket.

The energy impact of electromagnetic radiation can be of varying degrees and strengths. From imperceptible by humans (which is most often observed) to thermal sensation during high-power radiation. Extremely powerful electromagnetic influences can damage devices and electrical equipment.

Harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on the body

Due to the severity of the influence, electromagnetic radiation may not be perceived by a person at all or may lead to complete exhaustion with a functional change in brain activity and death. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation, even at relatively low levels, can cause cancer, memory loss, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, decreased concentration, impotence and even increased suicidality. The fields are especially dangerous for children and pregnant women.

Electromagnetic radiation contributes to changes in the hormonal status of the male body, an increase in the level of chromosomal aberrations (i.e., they cause changes and mutations of chromosomes), and cause changes in the reproductive system. The complexity of the problem lies not only in the impact on the health of the population, but also on the health and intelligence of future generations. There is an increase in congenital developmental anomalies.

Constant long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation (especially pulsating WiFi radiation) can cause cancer - leukemia or the growth of tumors in the internal organs of the body.

Electromagnetic radiation affects cell growth (growth stops). Impaired protein synthesis is such a serious danger that the researchers noted that “this property of cells is especially evident in growing tissues, that is, in children and young people. Consequently, these population groups are the most susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic radiation and radio frequency radiation. Exposure of children and adolescents to Wi-Fi and other electromagnetic radiation increases the risk of developmental problems in their bodies.

How to protect yourself from electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation

Researchers recommend that Internet users turn on Wi-Fi only for use for a certain time, and turn it off when unnecessary. Constant pulsating Wi-Fi radiation in the bedroom at night is especially dangerous for sleeping people. Constant long-term exposure to its radiation can cause oncology - leukemia or the growth of tumors of the internal organs of the body.

To avoid the dangerous consequences of pulsating radiation, it is recommended to turn off your Wi-Fi router at home at times when you do not need the Internet - if it is turned on around the clock and unnecessarily, then its radiation is harmful and dangerous!

Do not be located close to the Wi-Fi router. Moreover, do not sleep next to the switched on router. Again, we are talking only about the dangers of long-term Wi-Fi operation when it is used for days.

One way to reduce your exposure to electrosmog is to measure electromagnetic pollution with an EMF meter and avoid the radiation area. Scientists warns pregnant women to avoid using wireless devices and stay away from other Wi-Fi users and sources of radiation.

Antioxidant radiation protection and cell restoration

Another effective method of prevention is eating foods rich in proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants. These substances are able to protect the body from the oxidizing effects of radiation and radiation, promote cell growth and restoration, and prevent the occurrence of cancerous tumors.

Of the strongest antioxidants that NSP offers, to protect cells from oxidation, we recommend using Grepine with protectors. Grapine with Protectors is an excellent product that protects cell membranes and finer structures such as RNA and DNA. They primarily suffer from both intoxication by external poisons and endogenous aggression, from exposure to decay products (metabolites), as well as from infectious infection.

You can use protein shakes as an additional source of protein. Nutri Burn or Smart Mil. These are the best sources of protein on our market.

Nutri Bern protein shake from NSP is a 100% source of whey protein obtained by cold filtration and ultrafiltration. Natural French vanilla is included in the cocktail as a flavoring additive. It does not contain substances of artificial origin.+ This protein shake includes special herbs that help normalize metabolism.
In addition to the fact that this is protein in its native form, in which the configuration of the protein molecule is natural and perfectly digestible, this cocktail includes whey protein in three forms: Whey protein isolate (digested in 30 minutes, very quickly), Whey protein concentrate+ (digested in 2 hours), calcium caseinate (absorbed in 6-7 hours).

In general, whey proteins are anabolic proteins, i.e. such proteins that contribute to the formation of new proteins and muscle building.

Each substance has a certain radiation. It occurs due to the creation of an electromagnetic field around the material and its propagation in a certain direction. The further charged particles move from their source, the stronger the electromagnetic field of the substance, and therefore the stronger the electromagnetic radiation. In this case, the described radiation has the property of attenuation, that is, the further the electron is from its source, the less charge it has. Electromagnetic radiation has a certain effect on humans. They can both treat certain diseases and cause harm.

Electromagnetic radiation

What is electromagnetic radiation

Electromagnetic radiation refers to waves of the same name that are formed under the influence of electric and magnetic fields. From the point of view of scientists, the unit of radiation is a quantum, but at the same time it also has the properties of a wave (for example, it attenuates as the object of influence moves away).

Currently, the following types of electromagnetic radiation are distinguished:

Radio frequency (propagates in the form of radio waves);
Heat or infrared rays;
Optical waves that can be detected by the naked human eye (without special instruments);
Hard and ultraviolet radiation, which are predominantly in the ultraviolet spectrum (they are also called ionized).

Types of electromagnetic radiation

Nature of radiation sources

Sources of electromagnetic radiation are classified as follows:

Artificial, when the electromagnetic field (EMF) is disturbed by special devices or equipment, usually created by man;
Natural, when electromagnetic radiation comes from elements of nature. Thus, all electromagnetic fields and radiation generated by the planet Earth, electrical processes occurring in the layers of the atmosphere, and nuclear reactions in the Sun are natural.

EMR sources

Radiation is divided according to its level into low-level and high-level. It is the power of the source of electromagnetic waves that determines the parameters of the field strength and its radiation.

High-level emitters include:

electricity transmission lines (mainly high-voltage, transporting the bulk of electricity and creating a large EMF);
electric transport (trolleybuses, trams, metro, running on high-current energy);
towers necessary for transmitting television and radio signals, as well as mobile communications signals;
transformer substations and single current converters;
lifting equipment that operates using an electromechanical power plant.

Examples of low-level sources of electromagnetic radiation are almost all household appliances, in particular:

laptops, televisions and other devices equipped with a cathode ray tube display;
irons, refrigerators, air conditioners and so on;
low-current networks that ensure the transfer of energy from a source to various devices and equipment (the cables themselves, sockets, meters and other types of related devices).

Household sources of EMR

In some cases, high-level electromagnetic radiation is necessary. For example, in medicine, where X-ray machines, MRI machines and other diagnostic tools generate a large one-time dose of radiation to the human body, but this is necessary for diagnosing or treating certain diseases.

Human electromagnetic field

The human body is not only a good conductor for electromagnetic waves, but also generates EMF itself, being a natural source of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Oscillations of the bioelectric field are actively used to diagnose various diseases. For example, electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms make it possible to identify problems with the circulatory system, cardiovascular diseases, brain diseases, and so on in the early stages.

Human EMF

Attempts to measure the human electromagnetic field were made by scientists back in the 18th century, but without the availability of appropriate equipment that would have the necessary level of sensitivity, this was not possible. All studies were limited to only analyzing the effect of EMR on people.

A breakthrough in this matter was made thanks to discoveries in the physics of superconductivity, most of which occurred in the 60s of the last century. As a result of their introduction into science, instruments appeared that made it possible to more accurately measure the influence of the electromagnetic field on humans and to record the EMR itself of humans and other living organisms. This gave impetus to the development of a new branch of science - biomagnetism, which studied the EMF of animals and people, characterized by minimal values, as well as their influence on various natural processes.

The presence of a person’s own electromagnetic field harmonizes the functioning of all cells of the body. Some scientists call the EMF of people a biofield or aura. This area is studied by psychics. From their point of view, it is the biofield that is the body’s main defense against the negative influences of the external environment, including emotional ones. As soon as problems arise in the biofield, a person begins to get sick, he experiences various troubles, so it must be immediately restored, for which unconventional methods are used.

Effect of EMR on humans

In the process of research, scientists have found that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic waves on the human body can lead to various diseases, not all of which are curable. In most cases, a critical dose of EMR radiation can lead to pathological changes in human organs. The most disappointing conclusion is that changes as a result of exposure to EMF occur at the level of the genetic code, that is, the consequences can affect the children of the exposed person.

This state of affairs is explained by the fact that EMF has high biological activity, and this has an extremely negative effect on any living organisms. The level of exposure depends on three factors:

the type of radiation in the field of which the person was;
duration of stay at the radiation source;
intensity or power of EMR.

The influence of electromagnetic waves on human health can be general or local. Thus, being close to a high-voltage power line, the entire body is irradiated; the effect of EMF occurs on all organs and on all parts of the body. A mobile phone, on the contrary, affects only those parts of the body or sensory organs near which it is located. Therefore, it is not recommended to talk on the phone for a long time to avoid high doses of radiation to the brain.

The influence of EMR on human systems

In addition to electromagnetic effects, there is also a temperature effect of EMF on living organisms. Since EMI is formed due to the movement of electrons along conductors in a certain direction, and the conductor has a certain resistance, as a result of the formation of EMF, the temperature of the conductor increases. This principle is used in microwave emitters, which convert electrical energy into thermal energy, creating temperatures that allow metal to melt and other complex operations. However, this equipment has a significant side effect due to the high power of EMR and, accordingly, its impact on the tissues of human organs.

Important to remember! In everyday life, people also encounter EMR. This happens when using household appliances, mobile phones, traveling on electric vehicles, and so on. EMR is not removed from the body; it accumulates, which leads to diseases of the nervous system or brain. To avoid such developments, it is recommended to measure electromagnetic radiation in the apartment and periodically monitor its value.

Since EMR is of a wave nature, its influence on an object decreases with increasing distance, so it is enough to be at a safe distance from the source, and this will significantly reduce its negative impact.

Radiation protection

To avoid the described negative impact of EMR on the body, various methods of protection are actively used. In production, for example, protective screens are used that absorb radiation and significantly reduce its impact on humans. It is almost impossible to build such a structure at home, so household protection against EMP is based on the following recommendations:

You should be as far away from the radiation source as possible. So, for a power transmission line, the safe distance is 25 meters, for a monitor with a beam tube - only 30 cm. It is not recommended to bring mobile phones closer to your head than 2.5 cm. This makes conversation almost impossible, so a better recommendation would be to reduce negotiation time;
It is recommended to periodically measure the EMR level of used household appliances and monitor their operating time. This is especially true for children who often play computer games for a long time, thereby being exposed to radiation. Protection from electromagnetic radiation is the responsibility of parents, so you should set a clear mode for playing computer games or watching TV and strictly control it;
When the device is not in use, it must be turned off, since the device continues to generate EMF and radiate radiation while it is turned on. It will also make family members safer and healthier.

Methods of protection against EMR

So, electromagnetic radiation brings both benefits and harm. Even a person himself emits waves of a certain frequency and power; they can be detected using special equipment. The greatest benefit from EMR is achieved in medicine, where it is used for diagnosis and treatment. However, constant exposure to radiation can lead to negative consequences in the human body, so high-quality protection from electromagnetic fields and radiation is required. In production it is organized in a special way, but in everyday life it is enough to follow a few simple recommendations.
