Polygraph registration of brain response to magnetic field of power-line frequency

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that electromagnetic fields are the most dangerous environmental factors. Studies showed that people exposed to industrial electromagnetic fields had neurological problems as well as cardiovascular diseases. Numerous researchers point out that low frequency electromagnetic field is biologically damaging. Magnetic fields of industrial frequency are widely spread in electric power industry; their impact on people health is negative. Commercial frequency magnetic fields occur near all electrical plants, overhead power transmission lines and other current distributors. The aim of this research is instrumental registration of magnetic field presence and its effect on the human brain. The following equipment was used in the research: the Barier-14 polygraph (person's psychophysical condition analyzer), PZ-50V field density detector and a special helmet with inbuilt coils serving as the magnetic field source. Men and women from 18 to 65 took part in the research with the sample size of 60 people. The research found and registered negative effect of magnetic field on human body. Furthermore, the research detected the most affected organism parameters when exposed to magnetic field.
