Topic: ENV.2011.1.2.2-2
Exposure to electro-magnetic fields (EMF): investigations of
mechanisms to support risk assessment and reduce
uncertainty
Proposal from Latvia
Yeast cells will be used as a model of human organism cells.
• Yeast cells will be cultivated in the conditions of extremely low
frequency magnetic fields and then will be subjected to
physiological, cytological, biochemical, biophysical tests and
physical nano scale measurements.
• Irradiation of yeast cells will be provided in the room that is
screened from external electromagnetic radiation.
• Different state-of-the-art biological and biophysical equipment
including transmission and scanning electron microscopes, atom
force microscopes, RT PCR and others will be used in the study.
