Wellness Effects of EMF Radiation
The radiation from RF-EMF can cause DNA damage, tissue heating, and even disrupt the blood-brain barrier. These effects are real and ARPANSA is actively involved with the EHS group, the medical specialists and researchers. ARPANSA will continue to study research related to the health effects of EMF radiation.

DNA damage is caused by RF-EMF
Exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can cause DNA damage as well as adverse health consequences. sensitivity to electricity can disrupt the intracellular ionic levels, which are crucial to maintain the balance of electrochemical activity in cells. This can disrupt cell homeostasis, resulting to DNA damage. Moreover, exposure to EMFs is also associated with an overproduction of free radicals as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The exposure to radiation from RF-EMF has been linked with alterations in male germ cell development. This is due to the differentiation of the germ cell into spermatozoa, aswell as functional maturation as the spermatozoa travel across the epididymis. To determine the effect of RF-EMF exposure on male germ cells, a specially-built waveguide machine was constructed for the exposure of unrestrained mice to RF-EMF at 2.2 W/kg.

In a recent study, researchers found exposure to RF-EME causes an oxidative DNA damage to the spermatozoa. Sperm DNA fragmentation was increased by 18% after an entire week of treatment and by 23% after 5 weeks. Furthermore, DNA damage in mitochondria was observed by measuring the level of a biomarker, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG).

However it isn't yet considered to be a carcinogen. However, numerous studies have found that exposure to RF-EMF can affect DNA health in variety of cell lines. In one such study researchers exposed Vero cells with an EMF that was 100Hz, for 45 minutes. They evaluated DNA damage 48 hours after exposure to determine if the exposure affected DNA integrity.

The effect of RF-EMF on tissue heating
Although the effects of RF-EMF are usually thought to be thermal, some studies have shown that non-thermal influences are also present. These effects may account for some of the unsolved issues in epidemiological studies on EMF hypersensitivity. Therefore, it is important to look at the non-thermal aspects when conducting systematic reviews.

Effects that are not thermal from RF-EMF may occur on the cell's membrane. This is an area which has already been thoroughly examined. In particular the electrochemical properties of cell membranes has been investigated. Current understanding suggests that RF-EMF energy higher than 1 MHz is transferred to the tissue via dielectric and ionic dissipation. Studies of the theory have suggested that the energy transfer to tissues could be as high as 200 kV/m.

The electric properties of tissue are controlled in the form and quantity of water molecules and ions and other molecules inside the body. This determines how absorbent EMR from RF is absorbed by different tissues. Organs with greater conductivity are likely to absorb more field, and thus cause more of an effect. This is the reason the degree of tissue heating does not increase steadily as it moves from the exterior to the body and is only noticeable in hot spots. Bone and fatty tissues are less prone to RF heating as compared to other tissues, since they are not as water-based. content.

The extent of the field's electromagnetic energy depends on the frequency and strength of field. Muscle tissue absorbs more energy than other tissues and converts it to heat more efficiently. Typically the depth of penetration that RFEMF has is measured in millimeters (mm). However, the greater the frequency, the deeper the penetration.

RF-EMF causes blood-brain barrier disruption
Researchers have found that RF-EMF can disrupt the blood-brain barrier which can alter sleep patterns and neurotransmitter levels. Additionally the impacts on the effects of EMF on brain activity are associated with neurodegenerative disorders. For instance, EMF from mobile phones can affect electroencephalogram activity and sleep patterns, and the actions of nitric Oxide and xanthin oxidase.

Researchers from the Vienna University have studied the effects of exposure to RF-EMF in brain cells. They also studied the effects of ELF EMFs on the nervous system. Although the cellular mechanisms involved are not completely known however, there is an obvious relationship between exposure to ELF EMF and depletion of myelin. This relationship might account for the electro-hypersensitivity symptoms of electro-hypersensitivity. However, there are tested methods to regenerate myelin inside the brain.


Researchers have discovered that exposure to frequencies of 900 millimeters EMF enhanced the permeability of BBB and increased the signs of neuronal injury in rats. They also observed an increase in the release of neuronal albumin. Further, they found the following: after about 30 min of 900 MHz exposure 99mTcMIBI increased its permeation into the brain. But this effect didn't occur when using Evans blue-based injections.

However, RF-EMF is not able to provide a definitive method for disrupting the BBB. Research suggests that EMF exposure can increase erythrocyte membrane permeability. This could affect the BBB and also increase the efflux of calcium ions. Moreover, the presence of a 99mTc-MIBI radiotracer within the brain has been linked to an increase in the permeability and permeability of the BBB.
