The Behavior of a Population of Protozoan Microorganisms under Electromagnetic Radiation from Cell Phones

Abstract

For the first time, the effect of a significant change in the resistance of the aquatic medium of a population of protozoan microorganisms under the influence of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones has been experimentally investigated. The results of the experiment demonstrated the biological nature of the changes occurring in the water–protozoan population system, which indicated the effect of radiation directly on the cells. This conclusion was confirmed by the same time for information exchange between individual participants of the population in the calculation and in the experiment. An extremely low concentration of protozoan cells in the experiment was established, equal to 1000 cells/L, at which the specified effect was observed. It was concluded that the method for detecting changes in the physical properties of the aquatic medium of a population of protozoa under the action of electromagnetic fields can be used to identify the mechanisms of interaction of biological systems with electromagnetic radiation.
