Effects of EMF emissions from undersea electric cables on coral reef fish
The objective of this study was to determine if electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from undersea power cables impacted local marine life, with an emphasis on coral reef fish. The work was done at the South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility of Naval Surface Warfare Center in Broward County, Florida, which has a range of active undersea detection and data transmission cables. EMF emissions from a selected cable were created during non‐destructive visual fish surveys on SCUBA. During surveys, the transmission of either alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), or none (OFF) was randomly initiated by the facility at...

Assessment of exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields from smart utility meters in GB; part II) numerical assessment of induced SAR within the human body
Human body exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from smart meters was assessed using various exposure configurations. Specific energy absorption rate distributions were determined using three anatomically realistic human models. Each model was assigned with age‐ and frequency‐dependent dielectric properties representing a collection of age groups. Generalized exposure conditions involving standing and sleeping postures were assessed for a home area network operating at 868 and 2,450 MHz. The smart meter antenna was fed with 1 W power input which is an overestimation of what real devices typicall...

IEI ‐EMF provocation case studies: A novel approach to testing sensitive individuals
The etiology of Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance attributed to Electromagnetic Fields (IEI‐EMF) is controversial. While the majority of studies have indicated that there is no relationship between EMF exposure and symptoms reported by IEI‐EMF sufferers, concerns about methodological issues have been raised. Addressing these concerns, the present experiment was designed as a series of individual case studies to determine whether there is a relationship between radiofrequency‐electromagnetic field (RF‐EMF) exposure and an IEI‐EMF individual's self‐reported symptoms. Three participants aged 44–64 were tested...

EMP ‐induced BBB‐disruption enhances drug delivery to glioma and increases treatment efficacy in rats
Chemotherapy on gliomas is not satisfactorily efficient because the presence of blood‐brain barriers (BBB) leads to inadequate exposure of tumor cells to administered drugs. In order to facilitate chemotherapeutics to penetrate BBB and increase the treatment efficacy of gliomas, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) was applied and the 1‐(2‐Chlorethyl)‐cyclohexyl‐nitrosourea (CCNU) lomustine concentration in tumor tissue, tumor size, tumor apoptosis, and side effects were measured in glioma‐bearing rat model. The results showed that EMP exposure could enhance the delivery of CCNU to tumor tissue, facilitate tumor apoptos...

Improvement of wheat seed vitality by dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment
Influences of discharge voltage on wheat seed vitality were investigated in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma system at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Six different treatments were designed, and their discharge voltages were 0.0, 9.0, 11.0, 13.0, 15.0, and 17.0 kV, respectively. Fifty seeds were exposed to the DBD plasma atmosphere with an air flow rate of 1.5 L min−1 for 4 min in each treatment, and then the DBD plasma‐treated seeds were prepared for germination in several Petri dishes. Each treatment was repeated three times. Germination indexes, growth indexes, surface topography, water upta...

Effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field on the development of tolerance to the analgesic effect of morphine in rats
This study examined the effects of low frequency magnetic field (MF) on tolerance to analgesic effect of morphine in rats. Rats were made tolerant to morphine by injecting morphine (10 mg/kg, s) once daily for 8 consecutive days. Rats were simultaneously exposed to an MF (50 Hz at 1, 50, and 100 μT for 30 min) before, immediately, or 30 min after injection of morphine, and also exposed to a 0.5, 6, 12, and 30 Hz at 100 μT for 30 min before injection of morphine. The percentage of maximum possible effect of morphine (% MPE) was measured on the 1st, 4th, and 8th days by hot plate test. We observed that MF...

The epigenetic component of the brain response to electromagnetic stimulation in Parkinson's Disease patients: A literature overview
Modulations of epigenetic machinery, namely DNA methylation pattern, histone modification, and non‐coding RNAs expression, have been recently included among the key determinants contributing to Parkinson's Disease (PD) aetiopathogenesis and response to therapy. Along this line of reasoning, a set of experimental findings are highlighting the epigenetic‐based response to electromagnetic (EM) therapies used to alleviate PD symptomatology, mainly Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Notwithstanding the proven efficacy of EM therapies, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the bra...

Suppression of Arabidopsis flowering by near ‐null magnetic field is mediated by auxin
We previously found that flowering of Arabidopsis was suppressed by near‐null magnetic field, which was related to cryptochrome. Auxin plays an important role in Arabidopsis flowering. To test whether auxin is involved in the suppression of Arabidopsis flowering by near‐null magnetic field, we detected auxin level and expressions of auxin transport and signaling genes in wild‐type Arabidopsis plants and cryptochrome double mutant, cry1/cry2, grown in near‐null magnetic field. We found that indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) level in roots of wild‐type plants in near‐null magnetic field was significantly increased c...
