“…Pall claimed he suggested a different mechanism simply because he hypothesized that the VGICs are gated by "direct" forces on their voltage-sensors by "penetrating" RF EMFs instead of ELF forces exerted by the oscillating ions in close proximity to the sensors. The impossibility of Pall's claims is analyzed in commentary papers (Foster and Balzano 2021;Panagopoulos 2021;Arribas et al 2022).…”

I previously reported chromosomal damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBLs) induced by: a) mobile telephony (MT) electromagnetic fields (EMFs)/electromagnetic radiation (EMR), b) a high caffeine dose, and c) the combination of the two stressors. HPBLs from the same subjects exposed to gamma radiation at doses 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5 Gy, displayed more aberrations than those exposed to MT EMFs or the high caffeine dose in a dose-dependent manner. When the cells exposed to these gamma radiation doses were pre-exposed to a single 15-min MT EMF exposure, the number of aberrations increased significantly more than the sum number of aberrations induced by the individual stressors in all subjects. Thus, MT EMF exposure at a power density ~136 times below the latest International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limit, apart from the fact that it is genotoxic by itself, significantly enhanced the genotoxic action of gamma radiation. Since gamma radiation at similar doses is applied for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, people should be aware of the increased risk during treatment periods. Comparison of the genotoxic action between MT EMF and gamma radiation shows that the ICNIRP limits are, at least, ~4.5×10 4 times less stringent than the limits for gamma radiation.

Abstract: In this letter, we present some comments related to Pall’s publication, in which Pall states that the electric field disappears after a few centimeters and that the magnetic field continues progressing within the studied material.
