The Effects of Static Magnetic Fields, Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields and Mechanical Vibration on some Physicochemical Properties of Water

Abstract

At present the biological effect of SMF and LF EMF can be considered as a proven fact; however, the question how such a low-energy of EMF radiation could modulate the functional activity of cell and organism still remains unanswered. Numerous hypotheses on molecular mechanisms of the specific biological effect of EMF have been proposed, but none have provided a reliable and exhaustive explanation of the experimental findings. The oldest hypothesis is that EMF-induced structural changes of the cell bathing solution could serve as a primary target for the biological effect of EMF. As water is the main medium where the major part of biochemical reactions are taking place, it is predicted that a slight changes of physico-chemical properties of both intracellular and extracellular water could dramatically change the metabolic activity of cells and organisms
