Microbiota
Human microbiota, including skin microbiota, has been linked to a very significant role in the health of the human body. EMFs can interfere with both skin and gut microbiota, causing increased multiplication and/or resistance in certain strains such as E.Coli bacteria. This may have implications for those suffering from Dysbiosis as mobile phones are often carried close to the internal organs, subsequently increasing the exposure in the gut region.
Human microbiome
Human bacteria & radiofrequency electromagnetic fields
An investigated the response of both laboratory culture strains and isolates of skin bacteria under static magnetic field (SMF) and RF-EMF. The growth patterns of laboratory cultures of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus epidermidis under SMF were variable per different species. The bacterial isolates of skin microbiota from 4 subjects with different cell phone usage history also showed variable growth responses. These findings suggest cell phone level RF-EMF disrupts human skin microbiota.
