Abstract

Overview

Living organisms have evolved within the natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of the Earth, which include atmospheric electricity, Schumann resonances, and the geomagnetic field.

Findings

• Research indicates that the circadian rhythm, essential for regulating various physiological functions in humans, is influenced not only by light but also by the Earth's electromagnetic fields.
• Periodic solar activities like sunspots and seasonal variations in the geomagnetic field could potentially harm human health by disrupting the circadian rhythm, leading to increased inflammation. This disruption may cause symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and flu-like conditions, particularly affecting older and ill individuals.
• The study explores possible mechanisms for the human body's sensing of Earth's EMFs, including entrainment, the formation of radical pairs in retinal cryptochromes, and the involvement of paramagnetic magnetite nanoparticles.
• It also discusses the impact of electromagnetic pollution from wireless devices and antennas, the insulating effects of non-conductive materials, and local geomagnetic irregularities on the sensing of EMFs and subsequent health implications.

Conclusion

This research underscores the potentially severe implications of electromagnetic interference on the circadian rhythm and broader human health, accentuating the need for more focused studies in this area to mitigate the risks associated with EMF exposure.
