ID Number 1365
Study Type In Vitro
Model 10 MHz and other RF exposures to amoebas and hematopoeitic cells in culture and analysis of physical changes and morphology
Details

Giant amoeba (Chaos chaos and Chaos carolinensis) were exposed at high levels to alternating electric fields over a wide frequency range (1 Hz to ~ 10 MHz) and evaluated for changes. The authors report changes in perpendicular and parallel elongation and suggest simple dielectric forces may be responsible.
