RF-field interactions with biological systems: Electrical properties and biophysical mechanisms
Abstract
Electrical properties of tissues, macromolecular solutions, and cell membranes are summarized at frequencies from the extra low frequency (ELF) to microwave range. Previously presented dielectric data are supplemented by new results and a more detailed discussion of the physical mechanisms for the observed temperature coefficients of the dielectric properties. The dielectric data are discussed in terms of the interaction mechanisms which give rise to observed relaxational effects. Possible mechanisms for nonthermal weak interactions between radio-frequency (RF) energy and tissues are discussed and evaluated.

“However, reorientation of large dipolar molecules by applied oscillating EMFs, even when they are free to rotate and are not bound by other molecules as in a membrane, is not known to occur above the low-megahertz regime, and would be hard to explain by currently understood mechanisms of interaction [7].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
