Abstract

Abstract Overview

This review examines the biological impacts of geomagnetic activity, presenting modern research findings on the topic.

Findings

• Discussion of correlations between geomagnetic indices and biological parameters, exploring how organisms might respond to geomagnetic disturbances.
• Experimental designs using simulated geomagnetic storms to observe potential organism responses.
• Importance of diurnal geomagnetic variations as a disruptor and their role as secondary zeitgebers in biological clocks.
• The role of cryptochrome as a detector for geomagnetic storms and the involvement of melatonin and the CG8198 gene coding protein in response to geomagnetic fluctuations.

Conclusion

Highlights the need for further studies to deepen the understanding of mechanisms involved in the effects geomagnetic storms have on living organisms. This line of research consolidates the significant impact of electromagnetic fields on biological systems, stressing potential health risks.
