Analysis, Sources and Study of the Biological Consequences of Electromagnetic Pollution

The actions and health effects of electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency (RF) domains, referred to as radio frequencies and HV transmission networks have been studied for several decades. Following the appearance of questions and debates within the population, the actions and potential effects of radiofrequency and HV transport networks on health, in connection with the development of new wireless technologies, are generating a certain revival of interest. Thus, the increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields and the concerns of the public have led health organizations to undertake large-scale research programs to respond to the concerns expressed. These research programs have contributed to significantly increasing the number of studies on the actions and effects of electromagnetic pollution as well as their consequences on living beings. The objective of our research is focused on the analysis, sources, and study of the biological consequences of electromagnetic pollution. To do this, we have used physical laws and theorems, in particular Maxwell-Ampère, Maxwell-Gauss, Maxwell-Faraday, and Ohm’s law, to model the interactions between electromagnetic fields and living matter. In this article we have chosen the approach based on the electrical model of human biological tissue, taking into account on the one hand the physical phenomena of the propagation of an electromagnetic microwave plane wave in the range from 0 to 300GHz and on the other hand, the experimental values to simulate the relaxations α, β and γ and the impedance of the biological tissue faced with the variation of the frequency of propagation of the electromagnetic waves to identify the biological consequences relating thereto. The results obtained in the literature show the linear dependence of bio-impedance on frequency, these observations suggest that the tissue can be physiologically stressed at high frequencies. This can cause biological consequences for humans. The 2D simulation based on the proposed model has been developed as well as the verification of the consistency of the different mathematical models, by comparing the fractal dimensions of the results of the program with those of the figures obtained experimentally.

Polymer-bubbling for one-step synthesis of three-dimensional cobalt/carbon foams against electromagnetic pollution

Constructing three-dimensional(3D)foam-like structure in magnetic metal/carbon composites is regarded as a promising pathway to reinforce their electromagnetic(EM)functions.Herein,a nitrateassisted polymer-bubbling strategy is reported for the synthesis of Co/carbon foams,which is simply accomplished by direct pyrolyzing the mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate(Co(NO_(3))_(2)·6 H_(2) O).Co(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O not only plays as the source of Co nanoparticles,but also accounts for the formation of 3D microstructure through releasing gas.By manipulating the weight ratio of Co(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O to PVP,the chemical composition,microstructure,and EM properties of these composites can be easily regulated.When the weight ratio reaches 1.5,the resultant composite displays good microwave absorption performance,whose reflection loss intensity and effective absorption bandwidth are superior to those of many common Co/C composites.EM analysis reveals that such architecture is greatly helpful to establish cross-linked conductive networks in the wax matrix,resulting in powerful dielectric loss under low absorber loading.Meanwhile,3D microstructure is also beneficial for multiple reflections that equal to extend the transmission path of incident EM waves.Simple synthesis strategy and desirable properties of these magnetic carbon foams may render them as the low-cost substitute of 3D graphene for the application against EM pollution.

Silicon-coated fibrous network of carbon nanotube/iron towards stable and wideband electromagnetic wave absorption

Materials that can absorb electromagnetic(EM)wave have garnered increased attention in recent years due to their potential to mitigate the ever increasing environmental pollution by EM waves.Thanks to recent advances in micro/nanofabrication,a variety of magnetic metal-based EM absorbers have been reported.The design and synthesis of EM absorbers that exhibit efficient and wide-band absorption at small thicknesses,however,remains elusive.Here we report the design of fibrous nanostructures consisting of magnetic iron(Fe)nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes(CNTs),which exhibits a wide-band EM absorption(3.8 GHz)while maintain the thickness at 1.2 mm.In our work,we created a novel core-shell structure by immersing the highly fibrous CNT-Fe structure into solid-state silicon(SiO)matrix.Finally,the SiO-coated CNT-Fe structures exhibit good stability against air-induced oxidation and acid corrosion while maintaining high EM absorption.Overall,the results reported in this study present new avenues to absorb EM from ambient air.We believe that our work elevates the utility of EM absorbers to real-world applications such as anti-acid and oxidation ability.
