Download or read book Niehs Report on Health Effects from Exposure to Power Line Frequency Electric and Magnetic Fields written by Kenneth Olden and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes the analysis and conclusions of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) regarding possible health effects from ELF-EMF (magnetic field) exposures. The NIEHS carried out a hazard evaluation of ELF-EMF exposure that examined both historical and novel scientific evidence on possible health and biological effects at a series of open, scientific meetings. The scientific evidence suggesting that ELF-EMF exposures pose any health risk is weak, and there is a lack of connection between the human data and the experimental data (animal and mechanistic).

Download or read book The Pineal Gland and Cancer written by C. Bartsch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 979 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between the pineal gland and cancer is a rapidly emerging research field due to promising experimental and clinical trials with melatonin. The pineal gland acts as a transducer of environmental light to regulate rhythmic processes, including reproductive function in seasonally breeding animals and the entrainment of circadian rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle, in man. This book elucidates the physiological significance of the pineal gland and surveys phenomena and mechanisms of pineal - tumor interaction at the neuroendocrine, neuroimmune, neural, and molecular levels. Yet unidentified low-molecular-weight pineal substances with tumor-inhibiting capacity, a possible involvement of melatonin in electromagnetic field effects on cancer, and the oncotherapeutic potential of melatonin are also addressed. The encouraging results should incite further research to elucidate the exact nature of the link between the pineal gland and cancer for the benefit of patients.

Download or read book Possible Health Effects of Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic Fields written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-18 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) to which people are routinely exposed cause health effects? This volume assesses the data and draws conclusions about the consequences of human exposure to EMF. The committee examines what is known about three kinds of health effects associated with EMF: cancer, primarily childhood leukemia; reproduction and development; and neurobiological effects. This book provides a detailed discussion of hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization for each. Possible Health Effects of Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic Fields also discusses the tools available to measure exposure, common types of exposures, and what is known about the effects of exposure. The committee looks at correlations between EMF exposure and carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, neurobehavioral effects, reproductive and developmental effects, effects on melatonin and other neurochemicals, and effects on bone healing and stimulated cell growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of free (or laissez-faire) banking has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in recent years. It is a radical idea that challenges much of what many monetary and banking scholars still take for granted - that banking is inherently unstable, that the banking system needs a lender of last resort or deposit insurance to defend it in a crisis, and that the government has to protect the value of the currency. Against this free banking sets an argument which is in essence very simple: if markets are generally better at allocating resources than governments, then what is different about money and the industry that provides it and why should they be treated differently?

Download or read book Electric and magnetic fields invisible risks written by Sagan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book determines that risks of EMF exposure are small compared to the already existing incidence of cancer in the population. Five international studies completed since 1992 are excerpted and summarized. The concensus of these reviews appears to be a general skepticism regarding the relationship of EMFs to human health effects, particularly cancer. br This treatise on electromagnetic fields (EMF) attempts to unravel the complex problem of how these fields affect humans and animals, a challenge which has recently come under intense public scrutiny. This book provides the reader with the knowledge to make an informed, rational decision about the possible dangers inherent in our everyday contact with electric power.

Download or read book Human Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation and Modulation by Melatonin and Environmental Magnetic Fields written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the role that environmental-level magnetic fields may play as an exogenous factor in the etiology of human breast cancer. During this two-year research period significant progress has been made. We have observed that (a) the hormone melatonin and drug tamoxifen, which both inhibit human breast cancer cell growth, are each blocked or inhibited by environmental-level 12 mG (60Hz) magnetic fields; (b) this effect is observed at physiological levels of melatonin and pharmacological levels of tamoxifen; (c) an exposure dose-response exists between 2-12 mG for melatonin; (d) exposure duration data indicates field treatment is required for at least one cell cycle; (e) the magnetic field not the electric field is the operative field metric; and (f) frequency dependency experiments suggest this interaction is consistent with relatively long times of milliseconds implicating slow biological based processes.
