MODELING BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS FROM MAGNETIC-FIELDS

Research investigating how electromagnetic fields (EMF) might influenc e biological systems has suffered from the absence of a working experi mental model that defines relationships between all the physical expos ure parameters required to produce a biological effect. As a result, w hen these variables are not controlled from one experiment to another, many experimental results cannot be replicated. Recently, Blanchard a nd Blackman [4] developed an ion parametric resonance (IPR) model to p redict how parallel DC and low frequency AC magnetic fields might infl uence biological systems. Further, the IPR model has something differe nt from previous models in this area: it is supported by an extensive, and growing, body of experimental data.
