and field intensit
Special experiments were also carried out
to examine
the dependence of
biological effects upon the field intensity
for
the only one frequency
value.
An example is presented
in
fig.
3.
In
this case only one isolated
frequency was used - 8 Hz.
The ordinate shows
the glycogen concentration
in
the rabbit's blood.
It is clear that growth in the field intensity
gives no rise
to stronger biological effects.
The presence of a certain
optimum intensity in some intensity range is clearly seen
in these expe-
riments.
Thus,
the dependence of biochemical
or physiological changes
upon the field intensity has in general
a very complex non-linear form.
It is important
to mention
that while certain biological and biochemi-
cal changes were taking place the minimum field intensity
for mammalia
was as small as 0.2 nT (with a frequency of 8 Hz and an exposure time of
3 hours).
For the electric field the exposure was about 0.1
V/m.
Traditionally,
biophysicists have considered specific effects of the
electromagnetic field in biological tissue
to be hardly possible for such
small intensities.
However,
over
the past
two decades we have been wit-
nessing growing awareness that
very weak alternate electric and magnetic
fields do have
clear effects on a living organism.
Such effects are,
of course,
hardly explainable in the simplified
terras of Joule heating.
A new approach to understanding these results
is necessary
(a number of
reviews on
this new branch of investigation,
i.e.
biological action of
non-ionising radiation,
are available - see
/6/).
