Original Title:
Έκθεση οργανικών, ανόργανων μορίων και οργανισμών σε ακτινοβολία RF από GSM και DECΤ σήματα
Translated title:
Exposure of organic, anorganic molecules and organisms on RF radiation emitted by GSM and DECT sources
Summary:
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a simple inorganic molecule that exists both in
the environment and the human body. The calcite and aragonite are the
particular crystalline forms of anhydrous calcium carbonate while calcite being
thermodynamically more favored than aragonite. In order to understand the way
that radiation interacts with matter, we managed to see the effect of
electromagnetic and magnetic fields on CaCO3 microcrystallization. We used
novel experimental devices for the application of fields (EMF created by mobile
phone radiation in GSM and dual mode and radiation caused by the base of DECT
type cordless phone and also, static magnetic field and solenoid ) in a
saturated solution of CaCO3, while the evaluation of the crystal was done by,
scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with Image Pro Plus software v.6
for revealing parameter measurements for the crystals (eg. Area, size,
diameter, etc) and Raman spectroscopy. The results of the experiments showed
that the formulation in aragonite found in the unexposed sample changes to
calcite after irradiation with GSM and DECT, while aragonite remains in the
static magnetic and the solenoid. Furthermore, reducing the average crystal
surface of about 98% to DECT, 96% in the GSM, 93% for the static and 74% in
static magnetic for 30 minutes exposure. The above can be used to draw useful
conclusions on the contribution of fields, negative or positive in creating
atheromatous plaque through crystals and convert them from one format to
another.
