CHANDIGARH, Oct 8: It is not quite the fastest way to cook an egg, but researchers have found that if a raw egg is placed in between four switched-on cell phones, it will be ready to eat in about 80 minutes.

Researchers at Panjab University studying the impact of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile cell phone devices on living matter, have found that the radiation adversely affect tiny insects, wheat and mustard grains, in addition to eggs.

Scientists have already linked the extinction of common birds like the house sparrow to the excessive electromagnetic radiation in the environment.

According to the researchers, Mr VP Sharma, Dr RK Kohli, Dr HP Singh, and Dr Upma Baghei, the radiation released by the mobile devices have two kinds of effect - thermal effect and non-thermal radiation effect.

These rays, the same as those in a microwave oven, generate heat and adversely affect seed germination in plants and impair cell expansion.

In the experiments, the mobile phones were connected to pre-recorded tapes and four of them were kept live with an egg in the middle. After around 80 minutes, the egg was found to be hard-boiled. The research is in its final stages and the effects of EM waves are being studied on enzymes, cells and top layers of plants. "The idea is to sensitise people about the harmful effects of using mobile phones and living in close proximity to cellphone tower," said Dr RK Kohli.

How do mobile phone antennas affect health and wellbeing?

I've just put together an 18-page report on this topic that your readers can download. It's called "The Impacts of Radiofrequency Radiation from Mobile Phone Antennas" and it's available at http://www.emraustralia.com.au under "Phone Towers" [ http://www.emraustralia.com.au/mobile_phone_towers_report.pdf ].

The heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are important cellular stress markers and have been proposed as candidates to infer biological effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs). In the current study, HSP70 gene and protein expression were evaluated in cells of the human trophoblast cell line HTR-8/SVneo after prolonged exposure (4 to 24 h) to 1.8 GHz continuous-wave (CW) and different GSM signals (GSM-217Hz and GSM-Talk) to assess the possible effects of time and modulation schemes on cell responses. Inducible HSP70 protein expression was not modified by high-frequency EMFs under any condition tested. The inducible HSP70A, HSP70B and the constitutive HSC70 transcripts did not change in cells exposed to high-frequency EMFs with the different modulation schemes. Instead, levels of the inducible HSP70C transcript were significantly enhanced after 24 h exposure to GSM-217Hz signals and reduced after 4 and 16 h exposure to GSM-Talk signals. As in other cell systems, in HTR-8/SVneo cells the response to high-frequency EMFs was detected at the mRNA level after exposure to amplitude-modulated GSM signals. The present results suggest that the expression analysis for multiple transcripts, though encoding the same or similar protein products, can be highly informative and may account for subtle changes not detected at the protein level.

Blood-brain barrier permeability and nerve cell damage in rat brain 14 and 28 days after exposure to microwaves from GSM mobile phones.

We investigated the effects of global system for mobile communication (GSM) microwave exposure on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and signs of neuronal damage in rats using a real GSM programmable mobile phone in the 900 MHz band. Ninety-six non-anaesthetized rats were either exposed to microwaves or sham exposed in TEM-cells for 2 h at specific absorption rates of average whole-body Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) of 0.12, 1.2, 12, or 120 mW/kg. The rats were sacrificed after a recovery time of either 14 or 28 d, following exposure and the extravazation of albumin, its uptake into neurons, and occurrence of damaged neurons was assessed. Albumin extravazation and also its uptake into neurons was seen to be enhanced after 14 d (Kruskal Wallis test: p = 0.02 and 0.002, respectively), but not after a 28 d recovery period. The occurrence of dark neurons in the rat brains, on the other hand, was enhanced later, after 28 d (p = 0.02). Furthermore, in the 28-d brain samples, neuronal albumin uptake was significantly correlated to occurrence of damaged neurons (Spearman r = 0.41; p < 0.01).

Is your home making you ill?

Many of us have filled our homes with hi-tech gadgets such as plasma-screen televisions, wi-fi and mobile phones.

But could these gizmos be damaging our health? There is growing evidence that household appliances are contributing to a debilitating condition called electrosensitivity.

Troy Knight says it started with a cluster of large, painful red swellings on the side of his temple. Later, he would get the feeling that his skin was burning, like sunburn, even when he hadn’t been outside. His face would itch and tingle, and his skin would break out in blisters. It was alarming, but at first there seemed no obvious cause. And then he noticed something odd: every time he stopped using his computer for a day or two, the symptoms started to clear up.
