Abstract
The possible risks of radio-frequent electromagnetic fields for the human body, is a growing concern for the society. We have earlier shown that weak pulsed microwaves give rise to a significant leakage of albumin through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Now we have investigated whether a pathological leakage over the BBB might be combined with damage to the neurons. Three groups of each 8 rats were exposed for 2 hours to GSM mobile phone electromagnetic fields of different strengths. We found, and present here for the first time, highly significant (p<0.002) evidence for neuronal damage in both the cortex, the hippocampus and the basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats.

Abstract
Dr Henry Lai and Dr Narendra Singh used a DNA Comet Assay developed by Dr Singh to determine the microwaves damaged DNA-strands. They found that nonthermal microwave exposures significantly caused single and double DNA stranded breakage in living mice brains. The cellphone company Motorola wanted to prove that these studies were wrong and that microwaves and cell phone radiation do not cause DNA strand breakage. They funded Dr Roti Roti at Washington University, St Louis to replicate the Lai and Singh studies to try to show that they do not produce
these effects. Dr Roti Roti used a different, much less sensitive assessment method and used a cell-line not living mice. Hence it is not a replicate study. They claimed not to show any DNA strand breakage from radiation exposures. The analysis of their own published data shows that they actually did show that microwaves and cellphone non-thermal radiation significantly damages DNAstrands and enhances significant repair rates in human cells.

Hersenen beïnvloed, DNA beschadigd, neuronale activiteit verhoogd
Experts bevestigen effecten van mobiele telefonie
Hersenen beïnvloed, DNA beschadigd, neuronale activiteit verhoogd
Voor jonge, gezonde volwassenen geen gevolgen voor de gezondheid
De straling van mobiele telefoons heeft effecten op het centrale zenuwstelsel, beïnvloedt de werking van de hersenen en beschadigt het DNA. Dat bevestigen experts die de relevante wetenschappelijke literatuur van 2000 tot 2004 hebben bestudeerd. Het literatuuronderzoek werd verricht door de werkgroep 'Mensch Umwelt Technik' (MUT) van het Jülich Onderzoekscentrum in Jülich, Duitsland. De resultaten van het onderzoek zijn op 9 mei 2005 openbaar gemaakt. De experts zijn van mening dat de effecten op het centrale zenuwstelsel geen gevolgen hebben voor de gezondheid, maar een wetenschappelijke basis voor die mening ontbreekt. De beïnvloeding van de hersenen resulteert in een verkorte of verlengde reactietijd en meer of minder fouten bij cognitieve tests. De schade aan het erfgoed is volgens de experts geen probleem, omdat het niet zou leiden tot schade aan cellen.

Investigation of Brain Potentials in Sleeping Humans Exposed to the Electromagnetic Field
-

ABSTRACT
An investigation was made of 8-hour EEG tracings of sleeping humans exposed to the electromagnetic field of a GSM-standard mobile phone. To analyze the EEG-patterns, manual scoring, nonlinear dynamics, and spectral analysis were employed. It was found that, when human beings were exposed to the electromagnetic field of a cellular phone, their cerebral cortex biopotentials revealed an increase in the α-range power density as compared to the placebo experiment. It was also found that the dimension of EEG correlation dynamics and the relation of sleep stages changed under the influence of the electromagnetic field of a mobile phone.
