Shielding effect of mineral schungite during electromagnetic irradiation of rats

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2003 Nov;136(5):458-9. doi: 10.1023/b:bebm.0000017092.52535.f8.

Abstract

We studied the effect of nonthermal 37-GHz radiation on hemopoiesis in schungite-shielded Wistar rats. Radiation with right-handed or left-handed rotation of the polarization plane of electromagnetic wave was used. Shielding with schungite decreased the severity of damage produced by high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
