Abstract

Izloženost ljudi i drugih živih bića radiofrekvencijskom elektromagnetskom zračenju (RFEMZ) posljednjih je nekoliko godina značajno porasla što je uzrokovalo zabrinutost opće javnosti o mogućim štetnim posljedicama na zdravlje ljudi i životinja. No, unatoč mnogobrojnim rezultatima znanstvenih istraživanja, do danas nije postignut jedinstven stav u pogledu štetnosti RF-EMZ-a na živa bića. Štoviše, poznat je veliki broj objavljenih rezultata istraživanja čak i kontroverzan. Kada govorimo o biološkim učincima RF-EMZ-a na životinje, moramo istaknuti da su istraživanja načinjena na većem broju životinjskih vrsta od beskralježnjaka do sisavaca. Nakon potencijalne sumnje da RF-EMZ može biti potencijalni uzrok poremećaja gubitka pčelinje zajednice, načinjena su brojnija istraživanja na europskoj medonosnoj pčeli (Apis mellifera). U ovome je radu prikazan pregled elektromagnetskog spektra zračenja, objašnjen je pojam elektrosmoga, navedeni su najčešći izvori i biološki učinci RF-EMZ-a sa značajnijim osvrtom na biološke učinke na medonosnu pčelu.

Abstract (english)

The exposure of humans and other living organisms to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMZ) has increased significantly over the last few years, raising concerns among the general public about the potential adverse effects on human and animal health. However, despite the many scientific findings, there has been no unique position to date regarding the harmful effects of RF-EMZ on living beings. Moreover, it is known that a considerable number of research findings are even controversial. Speaking about the biological effects of RF-EMZ on animals, we must point out that research has been done on a large number of animal species from invertebrates to mammals. Following the potential suspicion that RF-EMZ may be a potential cause of Colony Collaps Disorder, numerous studies have been conducted on the european honey bee (Apis mellifera). In this paper, an overview of the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation is presented, the concept of electrosmog is explained, the most common sources and biological effects of RF-EMZ were given, with a significant reference to the biological effects on honey bees.
