Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

What is EMF Pollution?What is EMF Pollution? Electromotive force or “emf” is the rate at which energy is

drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts. [syn: voltage]

A change in the magnetic flux through a circuit produces an electromotive force around the circuit.

EMF pollution includes all electromotive force phenomena; whether causing a static field or radiation.

The Nature of PhysicsThe Nature of Physics The laws of Physics govern a vast range of phenomena in

our universe.

Physics is a science; seeking to understand reality in terms of basic principles.

The principles that exist today resulted from a process of observation, experimentation, and reformulation that has been continuous since the dawn of civilization.

The validity of a basic principle is determined by the evidence-observational and experimental data.

The Nature of PhysicsThe Nature of Physics

The proven basic principles of Physics provide a prescription for measuring fundamental quantities.

Electric charge, magnetic pole, and electric current have all been fundamental quantities in Electromagnetic Physics.

Problems based in Engineering and Physics require solutions based upon the laws and basic principles of the respective discipline.

Electrostatics-The Science of Electrostatics-The Science of Electric Charge at RestElectric Charge at Rest

Electric charge occurs in two species-positive and negative. The smallest known negative charge is the charge on the electron, and the smallest known positive charge is that on the proton. They are of equal magnitude but opposite sign.

The electrostatic field at a point is the force that unit positive test charge would experience if placed at that point.

The electrostatic potential difference between two points is the work required to move unit positive test charge from one point to

another.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Electrostatics-The Science of the Electrostatics-The Science of the Electric Charge at RestElectric Charge at Rest The capacitance of a pair of conductors is the

ratio of the charge on them to the potential difference that the charge causes.

A dielectric is an insulating medium that increases the capacitance of a pair of conductors significantly.

Direct Current CircuitsDirect Current Circuits Electric current is the flow of electric charge from one place

to another.

An ohmic circuit element is one whose resistance is independent of the current. A resistor is an ohmic circuit element.

-For resistors in Series the current in each resistor is the same. The total voltage is the sum of the voltages across each resistor separately.

-For resistors in parallel the voltage across each resistor is the same. The total current is the sum of the currents through each resistor separately.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Direct Current CircuitsDirect Current Circuits Resistivity is a property of substances that allows

resistance to be calculated from geometrical dimensions.

A direct current (dc) Circuit is a form of continuing charge flow that is steady and persistent in one direction.

Kirchhoff’s Laws: 1. The sum of the currents entering any junction equals the

sum of the currents leaving the junction.

2. The sum of the battery emf’s around any loop equals the sum of the potential differences across the resistors around the loop.

Electromagnetism-Magnetic FieldsElectromagnetism-Magnetic Fields

Electromagnetism is magnetism arising from electric charge in motion.

A current produces a magnetic field, which is comprised of closed looping lines that form around that current; the field of force associated with electric charge in motion.

-For example, the lines of a magnetic field around a long strait wire carrying a current form concentric circles.

Magnetic field strength is defined in terms of the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire or on a moving charge. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the direction of current flow.

Electromagnetism-Electromagnetic Electromagnetism-Electromagnetic InductionInduction Induction is the process by which objects are charged by contact

with other charged bodies.

Conduction is the transmission of electric charge or heat through a conducting medium without perceptible motion of the medium itself.

Conductors are substances that readily conduct electric charge.

Inductance:-The self inductance of a coil is a measure of the emf induced in it by a given rate of current change.

-The mutual inductance between two coils is a measure of the emf induced in one of them by a given rate of current change in the other.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Electromagnetism-Electromagnetic Electromagnetism-Electromagnetic InductionInduction An electromagnetic wave consists of a magnetic wave conjoined

with an electric wave.-The velocity of an electromagnetic wave in empty space

is equal to the square root of the reciprocal of the product of the permittivity and permeability.

Radiation is the emission and propagation of waves or particles such as radiant heat or particles emitted by radioactivity.

A microwave is any electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the approximate range from one millimeter to one meter, the region between infrared and short-wave radio wavelengths.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Alternating Current CircuitsAlternating Current Circuits An alternating current (ac) Circuit is a form of continuing charge flow that continually

reverses direction.-Most household devices operate on ac rather than dc as a technique for transferring large amounts of electricity over long distances.

-Less power is lost in transmission if very high voltage is used; necessitating a transformer to change it into low household voltages.

A rms value is the peak value of a current or voltage.

Inductors and capacitors as ac circuit elements-The ac through an inductor lags the voltage drop across it by one quarter

of a cycle.-The current in an inductor is related to the voltage across it by the

inductive reactance.

-The ac through a capacitor leads the voltage drop across it by one quarter of a cycle.

-The current in a capacitor is related to the voltage across it by the capacitive reactance.

-There is no power dissipation in an inductor or in a capacitor.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Alternating Current CircuitsAlternating Current Circuits Resonance is angular frequency.

A transformer is a mutual inductor with a primary and secondary coil that are usually wound on a common continuous iron core. It is a device that changes the voltage of an ac power supply without changing its frequency.

The average power dissipation in a resistor is conveniently calculated using root-mean-square values of alternating current and voltage (same as calculating it for dc).

Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Waves and Their MechanismWaves and Their Mechanism Effect on the human organism and on other vertebrates

The continuously increasing ways in which radio waves are used in modern society is increasing one’s exposure to electromagnetic waves and their physical effects.

Thermal effects of irradiation exposure consist of increases in outer and inner body temperature. Exposure to high intensity fields can cause serious blood vessel damage and hemorrhaging of internal organs.

Subjective complaints of persons working in the Rf Field include: headaches, eyestrain, dizziness, fatigue, dysfunctional sleep cycle, depression, deterioration of intellectual functions, and moodiness, dermographism and other acute symptoms depending on the prolongation of exposure.

Biological Effects of Electromagnet Biological Effects of Electromagnet Waves and their MechanismWaves and their Mechanism Most serious is the effect of the uhf field on the eyes and on reproductive

tissue (in men), since these organs lie close to the body surface and are therefore readily accessible to the effects of electromagnetic waves. Also susceptible are the nervous and cardiovascular systems, which not only lie near surface of the body but also have conductive properties.

The best known effect of rf energy is its heating. Heating effects result about all from relatively high rf field intensities increase in the total body temperature with increasing intensity and length of irradiation

Brief irradiation produces maximum heating at the body surface often even leading to local superficial burns.

Longer-wave irradiation generates the highest temperature in deep-lying muscles. Temperature of internal organs and of the blood flowing away from the irradiated organ also increases blood vessels are seriously injured and there are hemorrhages in the internal organs some organs seriously injured with out the entire organism being overheated.

Implanted metal also cause a concentration of rf energy. At high intensities overheating of organism and death survival

times can be substantially affected by the initial temperature and its cooling during exposure.

the uhf band heating leads to eye damage cataracts on the lens and on the cornea high power density, a cataract can appear even after a single exposure subthreshold intensities can lead to the same damage eyes are not damaged if radiation is not aimed at the eyes.

In man in the uhf field, especially radar operators unilateral and bilateral cataracts a few milliwatts per square centimeter are sufficient to product opacities in the human eye flow of tears and eye fatigue is observed first with changes in vision, sensitivity to colored light (especially blue)

Same for pulsed and continuous fields a change in intraocular pressure Lowering in the content of Vitamin C in the lens and in the fluid in the

anterior chamber lowering of the activity of ATP At higher intensities damage is evidently of a thermal nature, with a

coagulation of the proteins in the lens; at low intensities, a disturbance of metabolic processes. Ascribed to glutathione damage to tissue respiration and oxidation-reduction systems.

Ultraviolet LampsUltraviolet Lamps Ultraviolet radiation between visible light and x-radiation. Near

ultraviolet (320-420 milimicrons); midultraviolet (290-320 milimicrons) where germicidal effects take place; and far ultraviolet (180-290 milimicrons), such as that filtered through window glass.

To utilize therapeutically, the radiating substance producing the ultraviolet rays must be heated to an extremely high temperature

The major sources are electric arc, between electrodes of metal, carbon, or mercury in quartz

Best spectral band at which tanning occurs is between 290 and 320 Angstroms. No tanning is produced by wavelengths longer than 3,300 Angstroms.

Long ultraviolet 400-200 Short ultraviolet 200-180 The second type of tanning may occur; requires oxygen and it is

reversible. Deeper darkening of preformed pigment When ultraviolet rays with wavelengths below 320 milimicrons are absorbed

in the corneum, upper layers of the skin, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands, vitamin D forms as a by-product. Calcium absorption

Food and the Nervous System; Food and the Nervous System; the relationship between food, behavior, and the relationship between food, behavior, and emotionsemotions Neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry signals between

individual nerve cells.

The synthesis of at least five of them may be affected by the brain’s concentration of certain raw materials.

Diet significantly effects the concentration of these materials.

Serotonin is the most studied in food and neurotransmitter research, and it may inhibit eating behavior because some bulimics (binge-purge eaters) are deficient in it.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Food and the Nervous System; Food and the Nervous System; the relationship between food, behavior, and the relationship between food, behavior, and emotionsemotions Serotonin is produced when the brain converts it from the

amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan may be increased by eating high-carbohydrate meals.

Norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that maintains a state of alertness may be increased after a high protein meal due to the increased uptake of the amino acid, tyrosine in the brain.

Food and the Nervous System; Food and the Nervous System; the relationship between food, behavior, and the relationship between food, behavior, and emotionsemotions Neuropeptides are another group of brain chemicals

implicated in food and behavior. Several neuropeptides that are believed to inhibit eating

include:

Cholecystokinin- a polypeptide hormone that suppresses appetite for carbohydrates and fats.

Cyclo His-Pro- is derived from two amino acids, histidine and proline and gets released into the bloodstream after meals.

Sugar and Mood

Some studies show that in susceptible people an excessive amount of sugar consumption can alter blood sugar levels.

Blood sugar may drop temporarily after eating so after consuming an especially heavy meal, blood is increasingly diverted from the brain and to the gut.

Hypoglycemia (drop in blood sugar) may cause irritability, depression, fatigue, and moodiness due to the brain’s heavy dependence on blood sugar to meet most of its energy needs.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren


Nutrient Deficiencies

The fact that vitamin and mineral deficiencies have long-term effects on mood is well established.

Severe chronic deficiencies of vitamin B6, and B12, vitamin c, folic acid, and niacin are capable of causing symptoms that resemble senility, depression, and schizophrenia.

Deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, and the above nutrients impair neurotransmitter synthesis.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren


Supplementing with vitamins can sometimes help symptoms of mental disturbances.

Evidence links oxidative free radical damage to a decline in brain function and aging with various degenerative diseases.

Thus, consuming antioxidant are essential for healthy brain function.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren


Toxic Metals

Heavy metal exposure has numerous effects on the nervous system and behavior.

Some examples include:

Lead pollution decreases intelligence and scholastic performance (esp. in young people).

An excess of cadmium can partially block the trace mineral zinc.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren


Food sensitivitiesContrary to traditional beliefs, accumulating evidence indicates that food allergies can trigger mood swings, anxiety, and fatigue.This occurs in susceptible people when the allergic attack focused on the nervous system.

Whole milk and other food sensitivities have been implicated in depression, aggressive behavior, and schizophrenia. (allergy, food; appetite; bulimia nervosa; Feingold diet; hunger)

Free Radicals and AntioxidantsFree Radicals and Antioxidants Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd

(unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules.

The four free radicals are super oxide dismutase (SOD), methionine reductase, catalase, and Glutathione peroxidase.

These four enzymes are also essential enzymes, which the body makes on its own. For various reasons, the body often is unable to make sufficient quantities to control effectively all of free radical damage.

Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage -- the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Free Radicals and AntioxidantsFree Radicals and Antioxidants Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd

(unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when exposure to high-energy radiation or when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction.

They cause damage by reacting with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs.

To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant micronutrients, which reduce cellular damage and prevent cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Free Radicals and AntioxidantsFree Radicals and Antioxidants Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free

radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged.

Even though there are several enzyme systems within the body that scavenge free radicals, there are essential micronutrient (vitamin) antioxidants, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.

In addition, selenium, a trace metal that is required for proper function of glutathione peroxidase, is sometimes included in this category. The body cannot manufacture these micronutrients so they must be supplied in the diet.

Vitamin E : A fat soluble vitamin found naturally in nuts, seeds, vegetable and fish oils, whole grains (esp. wheat germ), and apricots.

Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

Free Radicals and AntioxidantsFree Radicals and Antioxidants Vitamin C : Ascorbic acid is a water soluble vitamin present

in citrus fruits and juices, green peppers, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, kiwi, and strawberries. The RDA is 60 mg per day. Intake above 2000 mg may be associated with adverse side effects in some individuals.

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A (retinol) and is present in liver, egg yolk, milk, butter, spinach, carrots, squash, broccoli, yams, tomato, cantaloupe, peaches, and grains. Because beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A by the body there is no set requirement. Instead the RDA is expressed as retinol equivalents (RE), to clarify the relationship. (NOTE: Vitamin A has no antioxidant properties and can be quite toxic when taken in excess.)
