ABSTRACT
Replication of experimental reports is especially important for any new and unexpected findings in the electromagnetic field (EMF) bioeffects research because such study frequently requires the collaborative contributions from scientists from different disciplines, who may be from different groups and locations. This chapter describes additional issues that can compromise replication attempts, and highlights a new issue through a recent literature search. Intentionally imposed EMF, from ELF through the RF region into the gigahertz range, is generally segregated into categories described by primary frequency and intensity ranges. Genetically based sensitivities to various environmental factors and to some medications are well known to medical professionals. Another variable that can lead to nonreplication of results is attention to the duration of exposure of the samples before an effect is observed. The biological system recovery time for GJC following the termination of EMF exposure can also provide interesting data.
