“…Similar findings were obtained in another study where a group of rats exposed to 150 Hz EMF demonstrated increased motor activity, sniffing, and defecation over time (Peter et al, 2006). According to Zosangzuali et al (2021), mice under the influence of 30 Hz EMF show different behavioral patterns, such as apparent stress, aggression, and eye irritation. Moreover, mice avoid proximity (Zosangzuali et al, 2021).…”

The objective of this investigation is to assess the influence of electromagnetic fields on living organisms. The impact of electromagnetic radiation of varying intensities on alterations in behavioral responses and mortality rates of living organisms was examined under controlled laboratory conditions at the first Moscow state medical university, named after I.M. Sechenov. The subjects of the study encompassed 10 specimens of white rats (Rattus norvegicus), 100 individuals of honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), and 20 dung beetles (Geotrupes stercorarius). The study employed both correlation and regression analyses to objectively assess the relationship between the frequency of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and mortality. It is worth noting that all necessary measures were taken to ensure the welfare and ethical treatment of living organisms throughout the research. It was observed that the subjects exposed to EMFs of different frequencies (50 Hz, 3 MHz, and 3 GHz) exhibited increased activity at the outset of the experiment. The highest percentage of fatalities (35 in rats, 49 in bees, and 100% in dung beetles) was recorded at an EMF frequency of 3 GHz. The research also confirms that the longer the exposure of organisms to EMFs, the stronger the impact on their behavior, and the correlation and regression analyses substantiated a significant increase in mortality with the escalation of EMF frequency for the studied organisms. This study is notable for its novelty as it is geared towards examining the impact of electromagnetic fields of different frequencies on the behavior and mortality of living organisms, thus expanding our understanding of the potential effects of these fields on biological systems. The practical significance of the results lies in their potential application in updating safety standards for practical EMF use and identifying patterns of interaction between EMFs and living organisms.

Telomeres are the ending areas of chromosomes – protective «caps» that ensure the stability of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is one of the most important biological signs of aging and is involved in cellular aging and the «mitotic clock» mechanism. One of the known mechanisms of the impact of radiation on the aging process is damage to telomeres by free radicals. Oxidative stress has a toxic effect on telomere length. The increase in free radicals occurs under the action of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, although antioxidant mechanisms are often able to neutralize harmful free radicals. Low doses of non-ionizing and ionizing radiation even cause the activation of antioxidant systems, however, when the body is exposed to radiation at a high dose or for a long time, or if pathological processes with oxidative stress occur in the body, damage to cells becomes more noticeable, and aging processes accelerate. Maintaining telomere length and a normal rate of aging is important for health. In this review, we want to discuss the role of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in cellular aging, in particular, in the shortening of telomere length. Key words: aging, radiation, oxidative stress, telomere length, toxicity.

There is enough evidence to indicate we may be damaging non-human species at ecosystem and biosphere levels across all taxa from rising background levels of anthropogenic non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. The focus of this Perspective paper is on the unique physiology of non-human species, their extraordinary sensitivity to both natural and anthropogenic EMF, and the likelihood that artificial EMF in the static, extremely low frequency (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) ranges of the non-ionizing electromagnetic spectrum are capable at very low intensities of adversely affecting both fauna and flora in all species studied. Any existing exposure standards are for humans only; wildlife is unprotected, including within the safety margins of existing guidelines, which are inappropriate for trans-species sensitivities and different non-human physiology. Mechanistic, genotoxic, and potential ecosystem effects are discussed.
