This study was aimed to investigate the changes in the human electroencephalographic (EEG) signal caused by modulated low-level microwaves. The 450 MHz microwave exposure modulated at 40 Hz and 70 Hz frequencies was applied to a group of 15 volunteers. The field power density at the scalp was 0.16 mW/cm2. Ten cycles of the exposure (1 min on and 1 min off) at both modulation frequencies were appli...... hiện toàn bộ

However, very little comment is made regarding the impact of the non-governmental agencies in conservation matters in the developing countries. This paper explores the nature and role of environmental pressure groups in environmen...... hiện toàn bộ
Distinguishing Ecotoxic Effects of Environmental PollutantsEnvironmentalist - Tập 21 - Trang 259-263 - 2001
Francis C. Ezeonu
Environmental fluctuations and biological variability affect the establishment of baseline data in studying the ecotoxic effects of pollutants. Since substantial fluctuations are recorded for various ecological indices, it becomes problematic to establish whether an observed change in some ecological parameters represents a variation caused by presence of a pollutant, or represents 'natural' fluct...... hiện toàn bộ
