SUMMARY: In addition to a
considerable reduction of milk yield and increasing occurences of health
problems, behavioural abnormalities that have not yet been examined, have been
observed over the last two years in a herd of dairy cows maintained in close
proximity to a TV and Radio transmitting antenna. The evaluation of possible
factors which could explain the abnormalities in the livestock did not disclose
any factors other than the measurable high-frequency electromagnetic fields. An
experiment in which a cow with abnormal behaviour was brought to a stable in a
different area resulted in normalisation of the cow within five days. The
symptoms returned, however, when the cow was brought back to the stable in close
proximity to the antenna in question. In view of the previously known effects of
electromagnetic fields it may be possible that the observed abnormalities are
related to the electromagnetic field exposure.

(1996) found that workers in industries with likely electromagnetic field exposure have a very significant (p=0.006) increase in incidence of Alzheimer's disease, OR = 3.93, 95% CI: 1.5-10.6. For males the adjusted odds ratio was 4.9, 95% CI: 1.3-7.9, p=0.01, and for females, OR = 3.40, 95% CI: 0.8-16.0, p = 0.01. They note that: These results are consistent with previous findings regarding the hypothesis that electromagnetic field exposure is etiologically associated with the occurrence of AD."

900MHz Mobile Phone Radiation on the Reproductive Capacity of Drosophila

Pulsed radio frequency, (RF),
electromagnetic radiation from common GSM mobile
phones, (Global System for Mobile Telecommunications) with a carrier
frequency at 900 MHz, ‘‘modulated’’ by human voice, (speaking emission)
decreases the reproductive capacity of the insect Drosophila
melanogaster by 50%–60%, whereas the
corresponding ‘‘nonmodulated’’ field (nonspeaking
emission) decreases the reproductive capacity by 15%–20%. The insects were
exposed to the near field of the mobile phone antenna for 6 min per day
during the first 2–5 days of their adult lives. The
GSM field is found to affect both females and males.
Our results suggest that this field-radiation decreases the rate
of cellular processes during gonad development in insects.
