Effects of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation on living systems
Abstract
This review is devoted to the studies of the effect of low intensity electromagnetic radiation irradiation (EMR) on various types of biological objects. The results of the studies of the effects of electromagnetic radiation on plant growth, nervous system, immunity, hormonal status, enzymatic activity, redox processes of a living organism are presented. A review of the literature on the biological effects of EMR on living systems can help to inreach our ideas about the possible ways how living organisms perceive this type of radiation and also can help to determine the direction for further research in this area. Low-frequency electromagnetic fields are generated by all electrical means, including power lines, distribution lines and electrical appliances. There are also sources of this radiation of natural origin. There is concern about whether low-intensity EMR affects public health. A significant amount of researches on this topic has been carried out over the past decades, but the health effects of this factor are still mixed. Despite a large number of works devoted to the study of the influence of EMR on living organisms, the question of the mechanism of the effect of EMR on biological objects remains relevant and requires further study.
