Health and fitness Effects of EMF Radiation
The radiation RF-EMF causes damage to DNA, increase the temperature of tissues and alter the blood-brain barrier. These effects are real, and ARPANSA is actively involved within the EHS communities, medical professionals, and researchers. ARPANSA will continue to study research related to the health effects caused by EMF radiation.

RF-EMF damages DNA
Exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are associated with DNA damage, as well as other negative health adverse effects. EMFs can disrupt intracellular ionic concentrations, which are essential to ensure the electrochemical balance of cells. In turn, this can alter the balance of cell metabolism, resulting in DNA damage. Additionally exposure to EMFs can cause an overproduction of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).


The exposure to radiation from RF-EMF has been associated with changes in the male germ cell's development. This results in the differentiation of the germ cell into spermatozoa as well functioning maturation as spermatozoa move throughout the epididymis. To study the effect of RF-EMF exposure on male germ cells, a specially-built waveguide machine was designed for the exposure of mice without restriction to RF-EMF at 2.2 W/kg.

In a recent study, researchers have discovered that exposure to RF-EME caused an oxidative DNA injury in the spermatozoa. Sperm DNA fragmentation was increased by 18% after an entire week of treatment and by 23 percent 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, the RF-EMF radiation has not yet been classified as a cancer-causing agent. However, several studies have revealed that exposure to RF-EMF radiation can damage the integrity of DNA in variety of cell types. In one such study, scientists subjected Vero cells to an EMF of 100 Hz for 45 minutes. They measured DNA damage 48 hours after exposure to determine if the exposure affected DNA integrity.

The effect of RF-EMF on tissue heating
While the effects of RF-EMF are generally considered to have thermal origins, some studies have revealed that non-thermal influences are also evident. These factors could be responsible for certain of the unsolved findings in epidemiological studies on EMF hypersensitivity. It is therefore important to consider the non-thermal effects when conducting an exhaustive review.

The non-thermal effects of RF-EMF may be felt at the cell's membrane. electrosensitivity is a field of research that has been extensively investigated. In particular the electrochemical behavior of cell membranes is being studied. Current understanding suggests that energy from RF-EMFs higher than 1 MHz is transferred to tissue through dielectric and Ionic dissipation. The theoretical studies have indicated that the energy that is transferred to the tissue could be up to 200 kV/m.

The electrical properties of tissues are controlled by the composition and distribution of water molecules, ions, and other substances in the body. This determines how well absorbed EMR RF is by various tissues. Organs with greater conductivity are likely to absorb more of the field and cause more of an effect. This is why the level of heating in tissues does not increase steadily between the outside and inside the body and is only noticeable in hot spots. Bone and fatty tissue is less prone to RF heating than other tissues, because they are not as water-based. content.

The extent of penetration of electromagnetic fields is determined by the frequency and strength that the electromagnetic field has. Muscle tissue absorbs more field radiation than most tissues and transforms it into heat more efficiently. Typically, the depth of penetration of RF-EMF is measured in millimeters (mm). However, the higher the frequency, shallower the penetration.

RF-EMF causes blood-brain barrier disruption
Researchers have found that RF-EMF can alter the blood-brain-barrier which can alter sleep patterns and neurotransmitter levels. In addition, the effects on the effects of EMF in brain activities have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders. For instance, EMF from mobile phones could affect the electroencephalogram's activity and sleep patterns, as well as the actions of nitric Oxide and xanthin oxidase.

Researchers at the Vienna University have studied the effects of exposure to RF-EMF to brain cells. They also studied the effects of ELF EMF on the brain system. While the mechanisms of the cell that play a role are not fully understood however, there is an obvious relationship between exposure to ELF EMF and myelin depletion. This relationship might account for the electro-hypersensitivity symptoms of electro-hypersensitivity. However, there are tested methods to regenerate myelin within the brain.

Researchers have observed that exposure to the frequency of 900 MHz EMF enhanced the permeability of the BBB and increased signs of neuronal damage in rodents. They also observed increased extravasation of albumin into neurons. Additionally, they observed that after 30 minutes of exposure at 900 MHz 99mTcMIBI increased its diffusion into the brain. But this effect did not happen with Evans blue injections.

Despite these findings, RF EMF does not have a clear method for disrupting the BBB. Research suggests that EMF exposure may increase erythrocyte cell membrane permeability. This could affect the BBB and enhance calcium ion efflux. Moreover, the presence of a 99mTcMIBI radiotracer inside the brain has been connected to an increase in the permeability of the BBB.
