FM-radio and TV tower signals can cause spontaneous hand movements near moving RF reflector.

For testing human sensitivity to radio frequency (RF) standing waves a movable reflecting wall was constructed. Radio waves from the radio-TV tower reflected back and formed a standing wave near the reflector. When the reflector was moved, the position of the maximums of the standing waves changed and the electromagnetic intensity changed in the body of the standing test subject. The computer with an AD-converter registered the signals of the hand movement transducer and the RF-meter with 100MHz dipole antennas. A total of 29 adults of different ages were tested. There were 9 persons whose hand movement graphs included features like the RF-meter. Six showed responses that did not correlate with the RF-meter. There were also 14 persons who did not react at all. Sensitive persons seem to react to crossing standing waves of the FM-radio or TV broadcasting signals.

Electromagnetic irradiation exposure and its bioindication – An overview

Man made electromagnetic irradiation and fields cover now the globe due to the recent extensive propagation of mobile telephony. The increased load affects animals and also plants. Especially birds have been studied. Humans are also sensitive. They are good bioindicators as epidemiological methods are available. Humans can also report symptoms which cannot be directly measured with presently available technologies. The nonionizing irradiation can as the ionizing one break the DNA, damage proteins, even increase the blood brain barrier permeability, disturb the night rest, cause fatigue and hormonal disturbances. An increase of the tumours of human head has been described in correlation with the long-term mobile phone use and on that side more exposed. The regulations covering mobile telephony are already about two decades old and need re-evaluation. The multitude of irradiation and the interaction of the different wavelength exposures, i.e., frequency sensitivity is poorly known at present. We should not forget the comparative studies of different species especially those which rely in their lives on electromagnetic orientation physiology. Some countries have issued warnings on the exposures of children. The producers of mobile technology have recently warned the users not to keep those devices in active stage in skin contact.

Involuntary human hand movements due to FM radio waves in a moving van

Finland TRACT Involuntary movements of hands in a moving van on a public road were studied to clarify the possible role of frequency modulated radio waves on driving. The signals were measured in a direct 2 km test segment of an international road during repeated drives to both directions. Test subjects (n=4) had an ability to sense radio frequency field intensity variations of the environment. They were sitting in a minivan with arm movement detectors in their hands. A potentiometer was used to register the hand movements to a computer which simultaneously collected data on the amplitude of the RF signal of the local FM tower 30 km distance at a frequency of about 100 MHz. Involuntary hand movements of the test subjects correlated with electromagnetic field, i.e. FM radio wave intensity measured. They reacted also on the place of a geomagnetic anomaly crossing the road, which was found on the basis of these recordings and confirmed by the public geological maps of the area.In conclusion, RF irradiation seems to affect the human hand reflexes of sensitive persons in a moving van along a normal public road which may have significance in traffic safety.

Electromagnetic Radiation and Health: Human Indicators

Manmade electromagnetic radiation increases in the environment as new applications are frequently adopted. Humans serve as receiving antennas for electromagnetic waves. Thus various new responses can be expected. In addition to radio and television programs, mobile telephony, distant reading of electricity and water consumption and many other technologies load us electrically and magnetically both out- and indoors. Most exposures are active all the time, day and night, continuously or in regular pulses. Personal devices are also important sources, since they touch the skin and are held near the brain and heart. Humans are good bioindicators, as their physiological parameters, such as heart function and blood biochemistry, are frequently recorded. Data storage and analysis are getting better. Humans also report symptoms that cannot be directly measured, and carry valuable information on bioeffects. Studies from recent decades have shown that exposure to electromagnetic waves can break DNA chains, damage proteins, even increase the blood brain barrier permeability, disturb sleep, and cause fatigue, memory and concentration problems. Neural, hormonal and psychosocial development is affected. An increase in human brain tumours has been described in correlation with mobile phone use on the exposed side of the head. The symptoms of electrohypersensitivity cause morbidity, but the interaction between multiple radiation frequencies and the mechanisms leading to frequency sensitivity are still poorly understood. Producers of mobile communication devices continuously warn users not to keep personal devices in skin contact. The Precautionary Principle that has been signed by many nations applies to all environmental risk factors, including exposure to electromagnetic waves.

Humans Sense the Standing Waves of 190 MHz Analogy TV Signals

Humans seem to sense weak radio waves and they can affect to spontaneous hand movements of test subjects. The aim of the present study was to clarify the responses in humans when crossing the standing waves caused by reflection of frequency modulated (FM)-radio and TV signals. Seven test subjects walked one at a time along a line between two rural houses, which were located close to each other at 5 km distance from the radio mast. The unconscious hand movements were recorded. The waves passed the first house and reflected from the brick wall of the second house, forming a set of standing waves between the houses. Clear reproducible reflexive hand movements took place when the person crossed the maximums of the standing waves generated by video and voice transmitting signals of analogy TV (p=0.001). In conclusion sensitive human seems to sense the standing waves of the TV signals near 190 MHz frequency.

Reported Curry and Hartmann Lines Probably Explained by Standing Radio Waves

Frequency modulated (FM) radio and TV waves (80 – 200 MHz) reflected from a brick wall 90 degrees across the transmission were recorded and human hand muscle reflexes were compared to them. The waves were measured with the aid of the radiofrequency (RF) spectrometer equipped with a horizontal 1.5 m dipole antenna. The mechanical hand reflexes were recorded and reaction maximums were marked blinded to the other test subjects. The subjects mainly located the maximums of the electric field intensity on the test path. In conclusion, the sensitive subjects can sense maxima of standing waves of local video and voice signals of analogy TV, and similar net-grids as named after Curry [1] and Hartmann [2] were found in rural areas with low electromagnetic signalling

Electromagnetic Radiation – Environmental Indicators in Our Surroundings

All living tissues have magnetic properties that are affected to some extent by the existence of electromagnetic radiation in the environment. Therefore all living creatures including plants, microbes, animals and humans are environmental indicators of exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Radiation is the process through which energy travels in the form of waves or particles through space or some other medium. Electromagnetic radiation is the propagation of waves that have an electric (E) and a magnetic (H) field component. Biological cell proliferation and differentiation can be affected by both AC and DC magnetic fields.

WHO recognizes electromagnetic dangers: let us declare human health rights

h e t t On May 31, 2011 the International Agency for Research n Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency radiation (RFR) s a 2B Possible Human Carcinogen, in the same category s exhaust, DDT and lead. This represents a global shift in cientific and public health thinking. Beginning with the Second World War, reports of cancer nd sterility in radar and military personnel were chronicled. astern bloc countries did much of the early research, and eported illness in power station operators. In recent years, everal international groups of scientists and public health xperts have extensively examined several thousand new cientific studies that together describe the rise of ‘pathoogical electrical diseases’ [1,2]. Yet, governments continue o ignore calls for a re-assessment of outdated public safety imits. Societies can no longer afford to ignore evidence for merging health risks. Chronic exposure to low-intensity RFR and to ELFodulated RFR at today’s environmental levels in many ities will exceed thresholds for increased risk of many disases and causes of death. It is well documented that RFR xposures in daily life alter homeostasis (homeodynamics) n human beings. These exposures can alter and damage NA; impair human stem cell DNA repair; induce cell roliferation and gene transcription; increase risk of many ancers; interfere with normal cardiac and brainwave funcion; provoke aberrant immune responses; provoke allergic nd inflammatory reactions; inflict neurological damage and euron death, and increase risk for neurodegenerative disases; impair semen quality and increase risk for miscarriage; nd cause cells to produce heat shock proteins (stress proeins) just like heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides and other ell insults do. RFR exposures alter circadian rhythms that egulate sleep, hormone balance, and cancer surveillance. FR impairs short-term memory, learning, motor skills and ehavior, is likely to be physiologically addictive and the ffects are likely to be particularly serious in the young [3]. h
