Summary of Rodeados de Ondas - Documental Completo

00:00:00 - 00:50:00

The documentary Rodeados de Ondas examines the possible health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone radiation. The different types of electromagnetic radiation are distinguished by their frequency, and all radiation emitted by human beings for communication is at relatively low frequencies. Although these low-frequency radiation fields are potentially harmful, they are considered to be relatively benign compared to radiation at higher frequencies, like x-rays or gamma rays. The film follows industry experts as they study the effects of cellphone radiation on the brain. They discuss how little is known about the long-term effects of cellphone use, and note that it is still difficult to measure the true power of these devices. They also discuss the increasing number of cancer cases in children who use cellphones extensively. However, they caution that the individual risk is still very low.

• 00:00:00 Since the 1990s, scientists have been aware of new risks to our environment from the widespread use of mobile phones. The phone, which symbolizes communication without limits, is suspected of causing health damage, but while we wait for a definitive verdict from science, researchers face a challenge - understanding the interaction between waves and matter, how they interact, and how they influence living organisms. We don't know the encounter between waves and organisms very well, and the boundary between two disciplines - physics and biology - is becoming increasingly difficult to delineate. The industrial spread of mobile phones began in the early 1990s without a prior study of their health impact, and since then, public awareness of the risks has led to surveys about the health of populations closest to airports or high-voltage power lines. However, studies that examine the effects of low-power waves on human health are consistently criticized. Since the 1970s, Marino has published about 150 articles on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms, which challenges the widely-held words of tranquility from industries that expose populations to electromagnetic fields. The proliferation of artificial radiation has led to the realization of surveys about the health of populations closest to airports or high-voltage power lines, as well as military personnel, but studies that
• 00:05:00 The documentary reportedly examines the possible health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic radiation, specifically from mobile phone radiation. The different types of electromagnetic radiation are distinguished by their frequency, and all radiation emitted by human beings for communication is at relatively low frequencies. Although these low-frequency radiation fields are potentially harmful, they are considered to be relatively benign compared to radiation at higher frequencies, like x-rays or gamma rays. The energy of an electromagnetic photon is not sufficient to break chemical bonds at the frequencies used by mobile phone communication, so they are considered to be non-invasive. By measuring fields electric fields in a liquid, the amount of power absorbed by the brain can be determined. This power absorption is variable depending on the individual's exposure, and a long-term global average SAR value has been established to provide a maximum safety limit for each phone. When the SAR value for a given phone is within this limit, the phone's technical features can be determined. By measuring brain fields in a liquid and using a mathematical model, it was determined that the SAR value for a given phone is maximized when the phone is placed in a liquid close to the head. This limit of two watts per kilogram of brain tissue ensures that users do not exceed the safe
• 00:10:00 The video, "Rodeados de Ondas - Documental Completo", reviews the increase in temperature over the past decades in relation to the amount of energy emitted by electromagnetic waves. It shows that the increase in temperature on the skin is smaller than 0.1 degrees, and that there is a lack of attention to the thermal effects of accessible equipment. Although there is no thermometer inside the brain, if the advice of industrialists were to rely on the legal value of SAR, then health problems could only be caused by the thermal effects below the legal limit. However, what Andrew Marino suggests is that electromagnetic waves could have other consequences than thermal effects. For example, he suggests that they could have health consequences that are not related to an increase in temperature below legal limits. Additionally, he discusses the plant's ability to sense electromagnetic radiation, and how this could be extended to different frequencies. The experiments conducted by "La envían sobre plantas de tomate" have significant implications for the fields of physics and biology. The results show that plants exposed to radiation react quickly and produce calm plants. This suggests that living organisms could react to radiation without transferring energy measurable by physical scientists. However, the shielding of plants during the experiment caused no response. In
• 00:15:00 This documentary covers the complete experiment in which a cohort of people were subjected to low-level electromagnetic radiation from a computer screen for a period of eight hours a day for a month. The results showed that all of the participants were sensitized to the radiation, with some experiencing more severe symptoms than others. The documentary also discusses the increased number of cases of electro-sensitivity worldwide, and the lack of understanding or acknowledgement of the condition by the medical community.
• 00:20:00 Marino, a researcher studying the effects of low-power electromagnetic fields on humans, takes his dogs to an island for 20 minutes to study the interference of the environment on their human counterparts. The subject is only subjected to the weak EM field, and is not given any other stimuli. Analysis of the subject's brain activity shows that he perceives the signal, even though he is not consciously aware of it. The nervous system detects sound and heat, and EM fields are the same process in some place in the body. There is a specialized cell that interacts with EM fields and sends a signal to the brain to indicate its presence. The brain recognizes that there is no useful information and ignores the signal, but the process of detecting and ignoring information is what weakens the body's ability to adapt. According to Marino, the human organism reacts to EM fields the same way as to other stimuli in its environment, but this theory is still limited by the lack of means to burn EM fields. Four years later, Alcocer presents an alarming report: EM fields can damage DNA. In stones, simple letters double, most of the time the breaks can be repaired, but this is not always the case in vivo. In fact, in an organism there are
• 00:25:00 Alcocer's 2008 study, in which he sought EU funding to verify the results of his experiments that showed negative effects of cellphone radiation on cells in vitro, was met with skepticism by many researchers. However, his results have been contested and despite his warnings, no reaction has been observed from the European Union, which commissioned the study. I do not attempt to demonstrate that cellphone radiation is harmful to health, with my colleagues who think like me, we have begun to see if there are audible effects to sound, there in 2008 Alcocer requested the European Union to finance him to re-investigate the results he had already obtained, and see if the effects observed in vitro also showed up in vivo. I believe this study will not be funded because it is difficult to say definitively. Replication of results obtained from previous experiments is commonplace because if it cannot be found in the same conditions, then it is considered an effect that cannot be debated and cannot be taken into account when assessing risks. Some of the best results achieved by our group in Sweden, which had demonstrated an increased permeability of the blood-cerebro barrier in rats subjected to cellphone radiation, were replicated by us. These results were published in conferences, but the same effects were not replicated by another
• 00:30:00 This video provides a comprehensive overview of the confusion and controversy surrounding recent experiments that were deliberately designed to generate confusion. These experiments reflect the considerable responsibility that falls on laboratories conducting these investigations, as they are constantly under pressure from industry sponsors. Some researchers are accused of being complacent while others are accused of negligence in their protocols. Data continues to accumulatethroughout these experiments, but society continues to wait for a definitive verdict. Different interpretations of the data can be drawn from the same data base, and the scientific truth escapes us from this confusion. One key question that arises from this is whether the level of index necessary to alert the public is sufficient, given the number of published scientific articles in recognized journals. Five thousand articles are needed, according to this report, but this number is only a fraction of the necessary amount. Who has the responsibility to make this determination, and those in charge of issuing warnings become irritated when they are asked to deepen their research. In reality, at this point there is no reason for greater alarm. Currently, the harmful experiments carried out by scientists demonstrating that there is a "wave" of pick up are resulting in significant risks to public health. A report released in 2007 by an independent bioinitiative drew attention from
• 00:35:00 This video documents research into how human cells are affected by short-wavelength radiation, such as that emitted from mobile phones. They show that some human cells are sensitive to these waves, and that this sensitivity can be compared to that of radiation from our environment. They also show that, by studying the different responses of cells to radiation, they can start to build a chip that will allow them to identify the genes that are activated in response to radiation. This could allow us to understand the health effects of short-wavelength radiation exposure.
• 00:40:00 This video documents the discovery of how waves can be used to activate genes, and how this has sparked a lot of scientific interest beyond the academic community. The activation of genes by factors of transcription is understood if the discovery has provoked such attention beyond the scientific community. This way of signaling is also involved in the growth of date. One of the mechanisms characteristic of cancerous growth is the activation of genes. Radiation may promote the proliferation of cells, if it can activate these genes. However, radiation does not cause cancer directly, but can influence it. Beyond the simple medical issue, the common goal of these scientists is to identify the first interaction between the wave and matter. The transformation of the physical energy of waves from telecommunications into biological processes can be defined. Living entities can be considered as separate from the external world by a semipermeable membrane. This can reduce the living matter, and the role that this membrane plays can be appreciated. Everything revolves around this membrane, which is called the semipermeable interface between a disturbed and regulated cell environment. At the interface between a disturbed and regulated cell environment, there is a protein that can detect waves. If we can find this protein in human cells, we might be able to find solutions to

• 00:50:00 In the documentary, Rodeados de Ondas, researchers investigate the health risks associated with the use of the orange agent. The documentary follows the researchers as they face attacks and criticism from the industry while trying to do their job honestly. The film shows how the debate over health risks has been replaced by strategies of communication that often exaggerate the claims of some while hiding the exaggerations of others. However, history will show who was right and who was wrong in the debate over the health risks of the orange agent.
