Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the biological and safety impacts of high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) waves on living systems, focusing on healthy and tumor-bearing mice.

Findings

• Exposure to 1.5 GHz narrow-band electromagnetic fields with an incident amplitude peak of 40 kV/m and 150 MHz wide-band electric fields up to 200 kV/m showed no significant changes in mice growth or tumor growth.
• Behaviorally, narrow-band signals did not cause noticeable changes, but wide-band signals prompted mice to seek companions, akin to reactions to loud noises.
• A pilot study assessed the impact of a 47.5 kV/m wide-band signal on blood vessel permeability in real-time, indicating no increase in permeability.

Conclusion

While both narrow and wide-band HPEM signals did not notably affect mice growth or tumor progression, wide-band signals influenced behavioral responses. Further research is necessary to conclusively determine the effects on living systems, particularly on vessel permeability at varying signal strengths.
