A Theoretical Analysis of the Observed Calcium Anomalies Concomitant with the Interaction of Low Intensity Electric Fields with Cerebral Tissue,

Abstract

We have developed an analytical model that describes certain aspects of the displacement of divalent calcium ions, Ca(+2), from the surface of biological tissue exposed to radiofrequency radiation. This model explicitly provides a means of quantifying certain ideas that have heretofore been suggested by others, but only in a qualitative sense, as providing a basis for Ca(+2) ion displacement. A detailed description of the conceptual basis as well as the analytical framework and examples of how this model can be tested are discussed in Sections II and III of this final report. A review of the scientific literature devoted to developing theoretical concepts to explain the coupling of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to biological membranes is presented as Section IV of this report.
