The influence of electromagnetic fields in the millimetric band, which are Similar to natural fields, upon human body is studied, : The evolution of life on earth was affected by various environ-= mental factors, Among the most important factors were electromagnetic fields (EMF) anq magnetic fields, Studies have confirmed a high sen- Sitivity of biological systems to these flelds [2,5], In principle, each band of electromagnetic waves reaching the Earth's biosphere could have contributed to natural evolution and may affect vital functions [5]. In the Past few decades, the theory which assigns a regulatory and informational role to EMF in blological Systems has been gaining supporters (5,14,16]. ‘The theory views a bio- logical system as a biochemical complex inseparably linked with intern- al and external EMF, A concept advanced by Kaznazheev in 1975 (see (6]) represented a blosystem as a nonequilibrium photon constellation | Maintained by a constant energy influx from outside, Under this con- cept, EMF quanta are material carriers of information flows in cellu- lar biosystems. EMF flows Within a biosystem constitute the informa tional base of its vital functions; flows of external EMP are the fac- tors regulating (to some extent) the internal information flows. Differentiation between energetic and informational flows of ex- ternal EMF has been discussed in [3,5,8]. ‘The energetic actions are defined as the actions introducing a change into biosystem Proportional to the amount of energy contributed. an informational interaction of © 1989 by Allerton Press, Inc. 152 ee Ra en tte a hE TO AGATE nk FE I A Ee PRT Te ar ET Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA- RDP96-00789R003100280001 -T an EMF with the amount various EME characteris carrying si ergy or mat er boundary on the orde bright line gators (1,3 W/o, Fig that form t} the atomosp} is unevenly from solar r EMP range. and dynamics band.

The low- er boundary of an information effect is set [8] at flow density (FD), on the order of 10712 w/m@ (10726 W/em*), Apparently, there is no Various investi- gators (1,3,8,10] place it in the region between 107" W/em* and 107? W/em*, Figure 1 compares the characteristics of principal EMF sources that form the natural electromagnetic background of the biosphere and the atomospheric transparency to the entire wave band. The atmosphere is unevenly transparent to EMF of different wavelengths. In turn, FD from solar radiation and from other sources is uneven throughout the EMP range. The combination of these factors determines the magnitude and dynamics of natural EM background of the biosphere in each frequency band. Biological systems are likely to be more sensitive to external EMF flows in the frequency bands ‘where the natural field background is lowest. Blological effects at informational EMF intensities (<1 MW/om?) appear, according to incomplete data, in those spectral regions where the external background is minimal either because of low atmospheric transparency or a minimal space radiation (see Fig. 1). The spectral density of solar radiation in space matches closely the radiation of an absolute black body at T = 6000 K. Radio waves accounts for just a fraction of a percentage point of the total energy radiated by the sun, In the wave band’ from 0.3 to 10 mm, solar radiation ts deseribed closely by the Rayleigh-Jeans law. ‘The effective sun temperature Tyo in the radio band is different from kinetic temperature. It has been measured experimentally and for A= 1—6 mm varies from 5500 to 8000 K [4]. Galactic radiation does not make any significant contribution to the natural background in the millimetric wave band (EHF), as it is absorbed completely by the atmosphere near Amlem (see Fig. 1).

The proper heat radiation from the Earth can be described as radiation of a gray body with s=0,85 and T = 288 K. Atmospheric radia- tion is described by radiation laws of an absolute black body with iso- lated selective lines of atmospheric gases and water vapors at respec- tive Terre In EHF-band the effective atmospheric temperature ranges from 100 to 400 K. Throughout the EHF=band, the spectral density of solar radiation is greater by some 12 dB than the proper atmospheric radiation (Fig. 2). In the range 4}=1—~8 mm, the atmsophere absorbs EMF selectively, mainly in the bands of molecular absorption of Os and water vapors {1,4]. The total attenuation of the radiation on the vertical path in selected bands is as large as 800 dB (Fig. 3). In transparency windows, the attenuation may be just 1-3 dB.
