Impact of Types of Electromagnetic Radiation on Living Nature

(2023)
Method

Methodological Tools EMF Measurement:
Likely used spectrum analyzers or EMF meters.

Health Data:
Public health records (hospital diagnoses, incidence rates). Surveys/questionnaires (self-reported symptoms).

Statistical Analysis:
Correlated EMF levels with morbidity data (e.g., regression models).

Source

Power transmission network with low (220-380 V), medium (40 kV) and high (220-440 kV) voltage.

Result
  1. Exposure Range: The study examines electromagnetic radiation (EMR) across a broad spectrum—from low-frequency (50 Hz, e.g., power lines) to high-frequency (up to 300 GHz, e.g., mobile networks)—and its escalating presence in modern life.
  2. Health Effects: Analyzes EMR’s impact on humans and ecosystems, particularly its correlation with increased morbidity rates, focusing on the central and peripheral nervous systems.
  3. Regional Focus: Investigates EMR effects in North-Central Bulgaria (Veliko Tarnovo region), comparing data with European/global studies.
  4. High-Intensity Risks: Highlights adverse effects of short-distance, high-power EMR exposure, urging further research on safety thresholds.

Conclusion: The study underscores the need for public awareness and protective measures against prolonged EMR exposure, given its potential biological and neurological consequences.
