Possible Interactions of Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Fields and Toxic Chemicals: Inside and Outside the Body

Map Branches

• Electric fields at power line frequencies charge pollutants and increase local toxic environment.
  • Pollutants cluster under power lines
  • Charged pollutants "stick" more to tissues
  • 2000 studies, 3X carcinogenic pollutants
  • Downwind charged pollutants, respiratory deposition
  • Air surrounding power line ionized, charging pollutants
• Computers emit both EMF and chemicals (VOCs) which may affect us separately or in combination.
  • Book on EMF and toxic emissions
  • EMF and volatile organic compounds
• Pathogens respond to the stress of EMF by producing more toxic substances.
  • Microbes respond to EMF "attack"
• Metals in dental restorations are released in the presence of EMF.
  • EMF and metals in mouth
  • Mercury release and cellphones
• Mercury elimination from body tissues may be limited in the presence of EMF.
  • Mercury detox impaired
• Oxidants may bio-accumulate or create more injury as antioxidants are depleted by EMF.
  • Melatonin depletion
  • Antioxidant depletion
  • Oxidation in the liver
• Damage to the blood brain barrier allows toxins into the brain.
  • Barrier damage
  • Albumin leakage
  • Increased permeability
• EMF may reduce the ability of cells to repair after toxic injury.
  • Decreased tissue repair
  • Decreased repair in toxic lungs
• Because of the effect on gene regulation and structure, proteins involved in various detoxification mechanisms may be impacted.
  • Genetic damage
  • Up and down-regulation
• When the body is stressed (by EMF), detoxification functions decrease.
  • Stress proteins increase
  • Antioxidants chronically depleted
• The toxic effect of xenobiotic substances may be increased in the presence of EMF.
  • Atrazine, ELF, mast cells
  • Carcinogens, EMF
