Jan 1, 2024
This animal study incubated fertilized pike eggs under electromagnetic fields associated with high-voltage transmission lines (110 kV and 220 kV) and compared them with a control group without anthropogenic EMF. The authors report no significant effect of HVTL-related EMF on embryo orientation and conclude survival…
Higher ultraviolet light exposure is associated with lower mortality: An analysis of data from the UK biobank cohort study
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2024
This cohort analysis examined associations between two ultraviolet (UV) exposure measures (solarium use and residential shortwave radiation) and mortality in older UK Biobank participants. Both UV exposure measures were reported to be inversely associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, and…
50 Hz Magnetic Field Exposure Inhibited Spontaneous Movement of Zebrafish Larvae through ROS-Mediated syn2a Expression.
