He raised the question whether this might increase childhood leukemia. Toburen (2) discounts this possibility. Assumptions that Toburen makes about aerosol physics are not valid (3, 4,5). Also, Henshaw et al have too narrow a focus. My experience doing research in aerosol physics suggests that contaminants other than radon, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and certain particulates that are common in indoor air, are more likely to be involved if there is such an effect (4,5).

Cells in culture, cell lines and primary cultures, are exposed to ELF-EMF and the effect on the cell to cell communication via gap junction is studied. The Junctional coupling is measured using the double whole cell patch clamp procedure on cell pairs. The effects of ELF-EMF is studied on primary cultures of embryonic myocytes. September 1991-April 1995: regulation of the gap junction function by second messengers in the Novikoff hepatoma cell line. The dual method of double-whole cell configuration (patch-clamp) and voltage-clamp is used to measure the macroscopic Junctional current and single gap Junctional channel. The intracellular imaging method is used to measure the changes in the intracellular calcium concentration in cell pairs following treatments that are known to modulate and/or to reduce the cell-to-cell coupling. January 1990-June 1991: An attempt to the study of the electrophysiological changes in the red blood cell membrane electrophysiology induced by the Malaria parasite, Plasmodium Falciparum. In collaboration with Professors J. Dlze and J. Schrevel.

Frey), for use by the biological research community. *FASEB (The Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology) is the largest coalition of life sciences societies in the United States, and represents over 42,000 biomedical and biological scientists. Charter and moderation policy: The purpose of the Newsgroup is to provide a means of easy communication among people doing research in or interested in electromagnetic field interactions with biological systems. It also provides the general biological community with a window into a field which has broad implications for biology. The Newsgroup is primarily for discussions among bioscientists. Lay people interested in hazards should contact the appropriate groups for such information such as the National EMR Alliance (212-554-4073). Those interested in arguing about hazards, which is a policy issue, have other forums where discussions of hazard policy issues are appropriate. The Newsgroup can be used for activities such as discussion of books, articles, methods and experiments. Theories can be debated and the validity of experiments and approaches can be discussed. Important new findings can be announced. Users can pose questions on techniques to be used in experiments and seek solutions for problems they have encountered in experiments. A preprint of a paper can be posted for comment before sending it in for publication or starting the next experiment. Journal editors and scientists can post papers or abstracts of papers accepted for publication or published papers. Announcements of funding for new programs and jobs can be posted. The newsgroup is moderated, but the bounds of the charter are loose. Only the clearly inappropriate messages as defined by the charter will not appear. The emf-bio newsgroup is a regular usenet group. You can access it when you read newsgroups. The first time type: get bionet.emf-bio After that it will appear as a newgroup (if there is news) whenever you read the newsgroups that you have subscribed to. If you only have email and can't read newsgroups, do the following: send a mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net Leave the Subject: line of the message blank and enter the following line into the body of the mail message: subscribe emf-bio This message will be automatically read by the computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and added to the list.

Look in the directory pub/BIOSCI/EMF-BIO for posting archives. Each file is assigned a date such as 9312 for December 1993. Please note that ours is a UNIX system and all file and directory names are case-sensitive, i.e., upper case file names are different from lower case names. You can also access these same files via Gopher if you start a gopher session using net.bio.net as your gopher server. Gopher also allows you to view the individual messages within each monthly archive file. The files are in the EMF-BIO directory. WWW/Mosaic users can open the URL gopher://net.bio.net/. Postings to bionet.emf-bio are also WAIS indexed and can be searched via either gopher or WAIS at our site. In gopher the option at net.bio.net is "Search Bionet USENET Articles" and in WAIS one should use the WAIS source biosci.src. This is a WAIS index of all BIOSCI/bionet messages including this newsgroup. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ for details. The FAQ can be requested from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Canceling your subscription: ---------------------------- IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: first be sure that you are sending mail from the address at which you signed up to receive news postings, and then send the command (in the body of your mail message) UNSUB bionet-news.bionet.emf-bio to MXT@dl.ac.uk.
