“…While molecular mechanisms are unknown, the obtained data have clearly shown that MW from mobile phones, similar to moderate hyperthermia, can significantly inhibit DNA repair in human lymphocytes. Disruption of the balance between cellular repair systems and DNA damage may be of significant importance in the genotoxic effects of GSM/UMTS mobile communication including genomic instability and cancer [Galeev, 2000].…”

We have recently described frequency-dependent effects of mobile phone microwaves (MWs) of global system for mobile communication (GSM) on human lymphocytes from persons reporting hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields and healthy persons. Contrary to GSM, universal global telecommunications system (UMTS) mobile phones emit wide-band MW signals. Hypothetically, UMTS MWs may result in higher biological effects compared to GSM signal because of eventual "effective" frequencies within the wideband. Here, we report for the first time that UMTS MWs affect chromatin and inhibit formation of DNA double-strand breaks co-localizing 53BP1/gamma-H2AX DNA repair foci in human lymphocytes from hypersensitive and healthy persons and confirm that effects of GSM MWs depend on carrier frequency. Remarkably, the effects of MWs on 53BP1/gamma-H2AX foci persisted up to 72 h following exposure of cells, even longer than the stress response following heat shock. The data are in line with the hypothesis that the type of signal, UMTS MWs, may have higher biological efficiency and possibly larger health risk effects compared to GSM radiation emissions. No significant differences in effects between groups of healthy and hypersensitive subjects were observed, except for the effects of UMTS MWs and GSM-915 MHz MWs on the formation of the DNA repair foci, which were different for hypersensitive (P < 0.02[53BP1]//0.01[gamma-H2AX]) but not for control subjects (P > 0.05). The non-parametric statistics used here did not indicate specificity of the differences revealed between the effects of GSM and UMTS MWs on cells from hypersensitive subjects and more data are needed to study the nature of these differences.

“…The widespread use of many electrical and electronic communication devices, such as mobile phones, computers, radio, television and even greater use of microwaves in advanced navigation has engendered in electromagnetic interference (EMI) . This EMI pollution disturbs the performance of neighboring electronic devices by coupling the incoming signal and also has adverse effect on human health .…”

Mechanistic Insight into the Critical Concentration of Barium Hexaferrite and the Conductive Polymeric Phase with Respect to Synergistically Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding

We demonstrate the necessity of synergetic absorption and reflection in hard magnetic nanomaterial with conducting polymer for microwave absorption. We investigated various nanocomposites with varied concentrations of phase pure barium hexaferrite (BFO) and polyaniline (PANI) in wax matrix. We found a critical concentration of BFO (Wax: PANI: BFO::50:42:08 wt%, i.e., BFO composition below its percolation threshold) where the Ohmic, dielectric and magnetic losses for the nanocomposites were maximum giving a peak microwave attenuation of 99.85%, out of which 85% attenuation was due to absorption. Beyond this concentration, on either side, the shielding effectiveness decreased. An extraordinary synergy between absorption and reflection was observed when the thickness of the specimen was increased from 1 mm to just 3 mm. The underlying mechanism of synergy was explained via a structural model based on the complex permittivity and permeability values. Our model suggests the necessity of a critical concentration of magnetic materials in a conducting phase for enhancing the microwave absorption.

Currently, IT devices, especially mobile phone and notebook, have become a staple for humans. These devices can't be separated from human activities. Mobile phone or notebook using those are too often can lead people to conduct any charging process when that device is being used. In general, there are three conditions for any devices when the charging process is being performed, such as: off, standby, and normal use (music on). This research objective is to compare the result on conducted emission testing when mobile phone and notebook at the plugging charge for the conditions: off, stand by, and normal use (music on). Testing method refers to CISPR 22 Standards at Clause Mains Terminal Disturbance Voltage. Testing result for mobile phone and notebook show that all of testing sample perform conducted emission value with quasi peak value meet the requirement of CISPR 22. The amount of 80% testing sample, perform the highest quasipeak margin value when the off condition of devices.
