A Report on Non-Ionizing Radiation

“Cellular and Molecular Effects of Non-Ionizing EMFs,” Reviews on Environmental Health, April 7, 2023. The latest review by Henry Lai and Blake Levitt.

“The goal was to synthesize a hypothesis on their mechanisms of action.”

47 pp. Open access.

“Epigenetic Modification of Gene Expression in Cancer Cells by Terahertz Demethylation,” Scientific Reports, March 26, 2023.

“THz radiation can affect biological activity in living cells, although it is non-ionizing radiation that does not damage DNA sequences...THz demethylation...may have potential applications in molecular therapy for cancer.”

From Korea. Open access.

“Wireless Technologies, Non-Ionizing EMFs and Children: Identifying and Reducing Health Risks,” Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care, March 23, 2023.

“We conclude that consistent with advice in pediatric radiology, an approach that recommends that microwave radiation exposures be As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) seems sensible and prudent.”

Concludes:
“This work contributes to the growing literature that suggests the potential modulation of human spontaneous EEG by exposure to RF-EMF.”

“Despite continued overall declines, CRC is rapidly shifting to diagnosis at a younger age, at a more advanced stage, and in the left colon/rectum.” ... “reflecting changes in underlying disease risk of unknown etiology.”

“Statistical Amplification of the Effects of Weak Magnetic Fields in Cellular Translation,” Cells, posted February 24, 2023. by Vladimir Binhi of the General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.

“This mechanism predicts a random nature of the nonspecific effects caused by weak and hypomagnetic fields and agrees with the diversity of biological responses to a weak magnetic field.” Open access.

“Essential Elements of Radical Pair Magnetosensitivity in Drosophila, Nature, published online February 22, 2023.

Provides “strong evidence” that non-cryptochrome dependent radical pairs “can elicit magnetic field responses in cells.”

“Incongruities in Recently Revised RF Exposure Guidelines and Standards,” Environmental Research, posted January 23, 2023.

Jim Lin, a former member of ICNIRP member and editor of Bioelectromagnetics, expresses concerns over safety limits for mm waves set by the IEEE in 2019 and ICNIRP in 2020.

He writes: “The current scientific database is inadequate at mm wavelengths to render a trustworthy appraisal or to reach a judgment with confidence.”
