2.7 Tasks of the biological compatibility

 

The second leg of the environmental compatibility (EC) forms the biological compatibility 

(BC) besides the electromagnetic environmental compatibility. Whereas the interests of 

the EMC are looked after by electrotechnical engineers and electrophysicists, with the BC 

also doctors, biologists and architects are addressed.

 

Moreover this leg is already very old and already existed long before artificial interference 

sources could be created by mankind. The interaction between the arising interference 

sources in nature and the biological systems in general and specially men always 

interested the doctors, the priests, the druids and geomants, that not seldom looked after 

several functions in personal union equally. Unfortunately they as a rule have kept their 

knowledge and capabilities as secret knowledge, didn't make any recordings and merely 

initiated and trained their respective successors. Through that a great deal got lost and 

today non-medical practitioners, homeopaths and esoterics trouble themselves to take up 

to the far-reaching buried knowledge.

 

Because this concerns pure knowledge by experience, often the with the topic occupied 

persons themselves are not capable to say anything about the physical backgrounds and 

causes. One concentrates entirely on the under certain circumstances reachable results and 

only in rare cases on reproducable effects. In some areas the scientific assignment already 

has succeeded, have parascientific phenomena managed their admission in the so called 

"exact sciences", but in most experience disciplines the assignment is still due. There still 

is a lot to do here.

 

In the time as there not yet were operated any artificial interference sources on our planet, 

the senses of man naturally were a whole lot sharper for his electromagnetic environment 

as today. Today, where there scarcely is a place on earth where we are not irradiated by 

terrestrial transmitters, by satellites or by the netfrequency that is measurable everywhere. 

In the bluntness of our senses perhaps the hybris of modern man is founded, with which he 

wants to rise himself above esotericism, geomancy and other sciences of experience and 

thereby dispute the electric and magnetic fields their biological effectiveness.

 

The fields of natural origin form an electromagnetic environment for men, that they have 

adapted to and that they probably need for a life in accord with nature. The evolution has 

taken care for a corresponding adaptation.

 

In fig. 2.7 in addition to the limits from fig. 1.1 the intensities of natural electromagnetic 

fields are registered

. They lie clearly lower as the recommended limits but exactly in the 

area wherein the first reactions of living beings are observable.

 

When we ask us how much electromagnetism is good for us and how much harms us so

 

the obvious answer is: exactly as much radiation as nature dictates in the fluctuations

 

between day and night, between the months, years and in the end between the cycles of

 

sunspots of 11 years. Here the guide value is found that man and nature have adapted

 

themselves to. In fig. 2.7 the corresponding area between the natural minimum and

 

maximum values is given.

2.8 Natural fields

 

Our electromagnetic environment has something to offer:

 

From the magnetic north pole to the magnetic south pole of the earth run the field lines of 

the earth's magnetic field that we are exposed to. With a compass we use the vector 

character of the magnetic field to fix our position. The induction averaged over time is 

approx. 50 uT. But it is overlapped by short-time fluctuations caused by geomagnetic 

storms in the ionosphere.

 

These storms again are caused by the eddy currents and the currents of charged particles 

that come from the sun. At the same time these eddy currents in the ionosphere together 

with the earth's magnetic field form a protective shield with a excellent screening effect 

for us inhabitants of earth.

 

In several layers like for instance the ozone and Heaviside layers a filtering and damping 

until the complete suppression of the very broad cosmic spectrum is caused. This 

extraterrestrial spectrum of radiation doesn't leave a single frequency out and has a lethal 

intensity for us.

 

Only for a little window in the frequency spectrum, radiation can pass almost undamped, 

as can be seen in fig. 2.8: the light with the spectrum of the colors. For this nature has 

donated man a sense organ so that man can protect himself against too high dose values. 

After all, who will look voluntarily into the sun? We only get into trouble when our sense 

organ doesn't function any more (for instance in the fringe range of the visible spectrum, 

the UV-range).

 

For other frequencies of electromagnetic radiation man neither has a sense organ but that 

doesn't mean that he is not influenced by these. Here, as in the UV-range he only 

indirectly notices that he has got too high a dose when he has to discover some influences 

on his well-being and his health. Without the help of neutral measurement apparatus he 

himself by no means is in a position to make a connection between an excessive 

exposition to radiation and his health problems.

 

When natural field strengths should be used as a measure for technical limits, so there 

should be paid attention to the  fact that nature doesn't know intense continuous

 

irradiation. The values are subject to powerful fluctuations that leave men and nature the

 

chance to regenerate.

 

The television stations not even think it is necessary to reduce their broadcasting power

 

after the end of broadcasts and further sprinkle the sleeping population with test signals,

 

with senseless pictures of going by underground or nonstop program advertisements.

 

People need the intermissions. That again shows how good nature means it with us.
