SOMATIC AND GENETIC EFFECTS OF LOW SAR 2.45 GHz MICROWAVE RADIATION ON WISTAR RATS

The somatic and genetic effects of 2.45 GHz Microwave radiation (MWR) on male and female Sprague Dawley rats were studied. Two hundred rats were used for this study. They were grouped into control and exposed according to the parameters under consideration. The animals were exposed to various levels of specific absorption rate (SARs) using the microwave generator, model ER660E, Serial No MX704CCR from Toshiba UK Ltd. All animals were kept in healthy, and radiation free environment with water and feed provided ad libitum. The study is divided into three parts; firstly, the effects of MWR on the anxiolytic and exploratory behaviour of the animals. MWR produced dose-dependent significant decrease in the cumulative time spent in the open arms of maze in the first twelve days after exposure and gradually increased towards the control value before the end of two weeks. It also affects the exploratory behavoiur of the animals, for the first two weeks after exposure but by the third week there was no significant difference between the control and the exposed animals. The modifications in the behaviour were not sex dependent as there were no significant differences between male and female rats. Secondly, the effects of MWR on the vital organs of male and female most especially, male reproductive functions were studied. The sperm count, gross motility and sperm morphology were determined using standard methods. The results showed that 2.45 GHz MWR reduced the sperm concentration, gross motility while increasing the percentage abnormal sperm cells. There was a decrease in reproductive organ weights and increased dead sperm cells as large numbers of the sperm cells membranes took up the eosin-nigrosin vital stain in the exposed group. Lastly, the genotoxic effects of MWR were studied using Chromosomal aberrations, single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) and direct amplification of length polymorphisms (DALP). There was a significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations between control and xvi xvii exposed groups. The exposure of vital mammalian cells to 2.45 GHz radiation altered the band patterns of the exposed animals, especially in the range 40 – 120 bp. Starting with appearance of additional peaks compared with the control which was not seen in their tail DNA before exposure to MW and these were confirmed through the densitometric gel analysis. There was a statistically significant difference in the Olive moment and % DNA in tail of the exposed animals compared with control (p < 0.05). Thus, these findings support the hypothesis that exposure to 2.45 GHz MWR at studied SARs may have potential somatic and genetic effects

The Largest Unethical Medical Experiment in Human History

This monograph describes the largest unethical medical experiment in human history: the implementation and operation of non-ionizing non-visible EMF radiation (hereafter called wireless radiation) infrastructure for communications, surveillance, weaponry, and other applications. It is unethical because it violates the key ethical medical experiment requirement for “informed consent” by the overwhelming majority of the participants. The monograph provides background on unethical medical research/experimentation, and frames the implementation of wireless radiation within that context. The monograph then identifies a wide spectrum of adverse effects of wireless radiation as reported in the premier biomedical literature for over seven decades. Even though many of these reported adverse effects are extremely severe, the true extent of their severity has been grossly underestimated. Most of the reported laboratory experiments that produced these effects are not reflective of the real-life environment in which wireless radiation operates. Many experiments do not include pulsing and modulation of the carrier signal, and most do not account for synergistic effects of other toxic stimuli acting in concert with the wireless radiation. These two additions greatly exacerbate the severity of the adverse effects from wireless radiation, and their neglect in current (and past) experimentation results in substantial under-estimation of the breadth and severity of adverse effects to be expected in a real-life situation. This lack of credible safety testing, combined with depriving the public of the opportunity to provide informed consent, contextualizes the wireless radiation infrastructure operation as an unethical medical experiment

Krebsentstehung durch nieder- und hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder im beruflichen und außerberuflichen Bereich?

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die vorhandenen experimentellen und epidemiologischen Studien zum Zusammenhang zwischen der Exposition gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern und dem Krebsrisiko zusammenzustellen und zu bewerten. Dafür wurden mittels Medline – Recherche 165 Originalarbeiten und Übersichtsarbeiten analysiert. Die experimentellen Studien können die Frage, wie Krebs durch elektromagnetische Felder entstehen könnte, nicht beantworten. Es gibt allerdings vielversprechende Ansätze mit nachvollziehbaren Hypothesen, die in Zukunft eine Erklärung liefern könnten, wie z. B. die Melatoninhypothese oder den Ansatz, elektromagnetische Felder als Promotoren oder Copromotoren zu untersuchen. Die epidemiologischen Studien belegen keinen Zusammenhang zwischen nicht-beruflicher Exposition mit elektromagnetischen Feldern extrem niedriger Frequenz und Krebsrisiko, weder bei Kindern noch bei Erwachsenen. Im beruflichen Bereich dagegen gibt es Hinweise auf eine Korrelation langandauernder, gleichbleibender Belastung mit starken Feldern und einem erhöhten Leukämie- und Gehirntumorrisiko. Zukünftige Studien auf diesem Gebiet müssen diverse relevante mögliche Confounder berücksichtigen, die Exposition jedes Probanden am Arbeitsplatz und zu Hause muß gemessen werden, adäquate Poweranalysen zur Ermittlung der benötigten Fallzahlen sind unerläßlich. Zu den Auswirkungen hochfrequenter Felder gibt es nur wenige Studien. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse geben keine Hinweise auf ein erhöhtes Krebsrisiko
