Study Type		Engineering & Physics
Model		Mechanistic studies to determine if RF fields might be able to influence biological systems
Details		Theoretical mechanistic study to investigate whether ongoing natural molecular processes can be affected by an electric field generated from RF expsosures. As is well known from classical dielectric theory and metallic conduction, even small fields may bias a process over a length of time if the effect does not average to zero. Therefore the project investigated the time, intensity, and frequency limits for electric field effects on processes such as conduction in ion channels, ion transport enzymes, and transcription of codes from DNA.
