It has been scientifically proven that electromagnetic waves produce adverse thermal effects on living beings. In turn, it is being studied whether there may also be non-thermal effects, which in this case is particularly dependent on the type of modulation.
Pulsed modulation has the peculiarity that the vibration frequency in which the information is incorporated is located at frequencies similar to those used by the bioelectric system of the human body. In this regard, science studies whether pulsed waves increase the risk of interacting with fundamental biological processes of the human body.
The Bioinitiative project has analyzed 1800 scientific studies on the affections of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation.
The conclusions of the Bioinitiative project show slight and also more serious affections. The lighter ones indicate that they can cause discomfort, sleep disorders or simply loss of well-being (affections to mental functioning and metabolism). Other more serious affections suggest that electromagnetic waves may be interfering with the possibility of getting pregnant, preventing a pregnancy from ending up successfully or affecting the development of the brain of children.
The World Health Organization (WHO) concluded in 2011 that the fields generated by high frequency waves are possible carcinogens for human beings.
The European Academy of Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) in the 2016 guide, among other organisms, identifies long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields with common symptoms such as concentration difficulties, depression, lack of energy, fatigue, sleep disorders, similar symptoms to the flu and as a risk factor for diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s and male infertility.
For children, these risks can be even higher, especially because of a cumulative effect, but also motivated by the increased sensitivity of immature cells.
