Cellular Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation.

Abstract

Giant cells of characean algae were examined for electrophysiological sequelae to acute electromagnetic field irradiation at 10 mW/per sq cm. Carrier frequencies ranged from 50 MHz to 12.4 GHz and a variety of modulation protocols were employed. No effects were detected at this power level. Keywords include: Nonionizing radiation; and Biological effects of electromagnetic fields.
