Laboratory experiments have shown that electric and magnetic fields can exert an influence on biological processes. Cells naturally maintain an electric charge across their membranes that is essential to the normal functioning of human tissues. In cell cultures, exposure to electromagnetic fields can affect the flow of chemicals across membranes, interfere with synthesis of genetic material, alter the activity of hormones and other chemicals, and change the behavior of cancer cells. Studies with mice show disruptions in eating, breathing and sleeping patterns. An experiment with human volunteers who were exposed to electromagnetic fields found they experienced a reduced heart rate...
