1 Intensity is not the only Fundamental EMF Measure: the importance of modulation for production of low intensity biological effects, and other variables & conditions Carl F. Blackman, Ph.D. Former President ( ) of The Bioelectromagnetics Society Raleigh, NC USA presented at the International EMF Conference Stavanger, Norway 17 November 2009 Sponsored by Norges Miljovernforbund Opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer

7 EMF Chemical

8 Log 10 of P 1 mw/cm 2 = 10 W/m 2 Blackman et al., Bioelectromagnetics 10:115,1989 Power Density, mw/cm 2

9 Intensity - Calcium efflux; 16 Hz from Blackman et al. Rad Res. 92: , 1982.

11 EMF Chemical

12 mgrms (69 nt) - calcium efflux Eggs incubated in 60-Hz fields normalized exp - sham from Blackman et al. Bioelectromagnetics 9:215, 1988

13

14 Frequency and magnetic-field strength combinations that influence calcium ion efflux from brain tissue in vitro P < 0.05 P > 0.05 fixed intensity Frequency, Hz fixed frequency Magnetic Field Strength, mg (rms)

15 Two major features of EMF exposure Intensity Frequency Non-linear responses Responsible mechanism - unknown Present Standards IGNORE these responses

27 Influence of Frequency on DNA Synthesis Takahashi et al., Experientia 42: 185-6, 1986

28 Influence of Pulse Width on DNA synthesis Takahashi et al., Experientia 42: 185-6, 1986

29 Influence of Intensity on DNA Synthesis Takahashi et al., Experientia 42: 185-6, 1986

30 EMF Chemical / bioresponse

31 When temperature of chick brain is held constant during the 20 minutes of exposure Enhanced efflux only seen at 36 & 37 C, not at 35 or 38 C

32 EMF Chemical / bioresponse

33 Frequency and magnetic-field strength combinations that influence calcium ion efflux from brain tissue in vitro P < 0.05 P > 0.05 fixed intensity Frequency, Hz fixed frequency Magnetic Field Strength, mg (rms)

37 Yes, it is possible for avians

38

39 In Vitro results do NOT demonstrate health risks, however, results do demonstrate: Cautious when evaluate exposure scenarios ~> exact EMF exposure conditions are critical Physiological state of cells is very important ~> temperature; imprinting; genetics Can use in vitro findings to identify exposure parameters to examine in vivo Do NOT treat EMF as a single chemical

51 DC = 20 mg DC = 366 mg from Blackman et al. FASEB J 9:547, 1995

52 Endpoint measurement analysis

53 Standard analyses - - Uses averages of exposed & control groups Marino demonstrated a new analysis - Few reports have noted changes in - Has potential to alter analytical approaches Conclusion -> there is much that remains to be explained in EMF biological effects research

Three different fusions led to three basic ideas: 1) If one fuses a cell in mitosis with a cell in any other stage of the cell cycle, the chromosomes Section Notes The cell division cycle presents an interesting system to study because growth and division must be carefully coordinated. For many cells it is important that it reaches the correct size
