Abstract

Effects of Non-ionizing Radiation From Radio Waves on the Ability of Medicinal Plants to Fight off Microbes

Marie Hammond*

Electromagnetic (EM) waves at high frequencies have been shown to be serious environmental pollutants. To meet the expanding needs for telecommunications, radio towers are being built in greater numbers. Tulsi, a medicinal plant used in pharmaceuticals, and Brahmi are the main focus of the research provided here on the investigation of EM waves on antibacterial properties. To the best of our knowledge, no work akin to this has been reported as of yet. EM waves with a 1.9 mg magnetic field at 900 MHz were used to expose the medicinal plants. In terms of growth, chlorophyll content, protein content, and carbohydrate content, our earlier research on plant physiology had negative consequences on the physiology of some selected plants. Two plants' antibacterial efficacy against a variety of bacterial and fungal strains was examined in the paper.
