Sind Pflanzen durch Handys und WLAN-Router gestresst? | Felicia Michallek | TEDxYouth@Bonn


[Applause]

good evening my name is felicia michalek

I’m 17 years old and I ‘m just doing mine

high school in hamburg together with my

Unfortunately, my sister is not here today

I have been able to do that for several years

effects of cell phone radiation research

with the project I give them today

I have to imagine that

scientific competition

Youth research participated

Did you know that now 80 percent

the German own a mobile phone

I am sure that each of them

has a mobile phone and it too

regularly used to, I have them

brought a bed this shows one

Head with a mobile phone on his ear

what do you think when you see this picture

see the colors on the head

see are the intensity of a

radiation from the phone during the

go out on the phone

Here is the heat radiation shown

which emanates from the cellphone am curious

whether you like this picture after my presentation

from a different perspective

then have a sister and I

we think about how we get the mobile phone radiation

we can examine humans

for once excluded because yes

Do not try on people

can

That’s why we came up with plants

that ‘s what I’m going through in the course of my life

lectures answer the question

plant by cell phones and wireless router

Stressed to answer this question

We may have some before trying

performed for an optimal

develop a test setup

We wanted the results to be good

compare and reproduce

it turned out that the best

try beans as you can here

able to see

pea beans and cress for disposal

stand

Because these germs grow fast fast

and are easily in large numbers

The result then looked like this

we have the natural ones about that

environmental factors which are responsible for growth

the plants necessary are exactly the same

We have two plexiglas

built boxes and there two to three

No boxing set as you get here

able to see

the green ones we have

with exactly the same earth with exactly

the same number of seeds from exactly

the same bag planted with exactly

poured the same amount of water

through a lamp construction the man

unfortunately can not see here now

we could ensure that the

Plant exactly 14 hours a day

be irradiated light

thus we could have disturbing factors

that could influence the results

have eliminated the only difference

It was that over at the first

general meetings page the main

Try from 2011 to 2012

have that there again we have there

Handy uses the modern at the time

were

see them down there by us

did not even know if any phones

have an influence on plant growth

We first with a mobile phone

started and have the number in the course

the trials have increased in parallel

we have a control trial or one

run control group so that we

compare the results

at the second try we from 2014

we have done until 2016

another third came plexiglas box

placed next to where we have one

have set up wireless router and

exactly with mobile phones the attempt

have done and have there as well

we used a control group

in the course of the experiments we have the

single plants on germination and

observed on the growth in length

mostly in a period from 14 to 17

days and random samples of the

blood number of individual plants

determined and the water consumption

detained and conspicuous

growth behavior

characterized until more than 60 data 6000

we created in tables and

have worked out diagrams and

then analyze it

Overall , that resulted in planting

where the phones with in the box

later germinated and slower

grown as the plants

where no cell phone in the box stood around

To be precise was the effect

the first main station tried

greater

there were, for example, the stems

weaker and the leaves smaller and

brighter, for example, you have here

Below in the picture an area seen

where almost no plants are known and

also here up here example

exemplified four tables

or count said where the red count the

control group is we as 100

percent and green

there down from the average

growth of which shows mobile planting

at the first try up here in the

corner one sees that we there only one

mobile phone used

because there the difference was 10 5 percent

on the second try with two mobiles

up here you can see that they are the club

already bigger 15 percent

down here with three phones or even

already 20 percent

and with four phones 24 percent 26

percent so you can say that ever

More cell phones in the cash registers were the

difference was also greater in the

second try you have a lower one

try a lesser difference

seen at the cellphone for example

There was a difference of five to ten

percent on average

but it was terrifying to see them there

results of the wlan router

There was, for example, in a quarter

circle the growth is completely gone

Here, for example, one is about there directly

standing right of wireless routers there

nothing grown

there in the case of the second main

We noticed overall

that distance affects the

We have growth in length

our measurements are divided into two parts

here that red line does that

clearly where we once to 15 centimeters

away from the radiation source

have measured length growth and

once from 15 centimeters to 30 cm

We will have that in these tables

and graphs

and there are clear differences

you probably also see from further

behind that again the red graf

the control group is the 100 percent

again , the green represents the with the

cell phones and the blue ones with the wifi

and you can clearly see that the

difference is greater in the names

plants than those further afield, eg 24

percent and 5 percent and 62 percent and

10 percent

Here you can see the intensity of the

radiation of our once from the

devices we have used

up here are the new phones

the on the umts resp

lte standard and on one

unused procedure that is it

in standby mode not so much anymore

radiate as opposed to the

older phones on a gsm

standard and based on one

pulsed method

there is the connection to the

example, including radiation

richer and lower to see where

most of the radiation emanates from the

WLAN router

this is based on a pulsed

process and even radiates

much more intense than the older ones

mobile phones

Here we have the radiation intensity

can measure with a field strength

meter where we are here now

for example, the wlan router

have shown and up here in the corner

when at the top of the mountain if

remember the cress was there

not known exactly in this

quarter circle where the highest

radiation intensity was nothing

grown

the results I give you

Love has just shown you

have now only on the outside

therefore limited to the plant

a sister not considered and

tries to prove that also in the

plant change by the radiation

have arisen

there we are after intensive research

on an overproduction of reactive

oxygen species come

that means planting on stress

react with overproduction

Stress can be extreme among others

be temperature differences as extreme

heat and drought but also strong

Ultraviolet radiation can cause stress

and what the rebellion electromagnetic

radiation emanate from cell phones

this overproduction makes gives the

an imbalance between

oxidants and antioxidants in the

plant arise what in turn to

cell damage leads we have it there

a trance that means brad

pretest with which you can

production of toxins

We were allowed to do this on the biology

institute of the university hamburg

carry out

There we have single plants of

harvested our test series directly

frozen and then there the try

carried out

down here in the corner are the

results to see the congruent

with the results are from the

try before or from the measurements

before that is the wlan plants are

for example, the lowest grown

and had the highest protein amount

in there

In summary, one can say that

we try with simple and

could show measurements on plants

that cell phone radiation is the growth of

Plants affect the assumption

So is close to that this one that

Cell phone radiate an influence

electrochemical processes in the cell

I especially like that

negative for growth

just in the co-phase is now affecting

of course the exciting question is if that

also us humans is transferable

and whether we humans also through

be influenced by mobile phones

could

a direct transferability is not

possible but also in the human

Body run electrochemical processes

From the radiation of cell phones

could be influenced

So what do you think now if you have this

head and know that not only

thermal radiation emanating from the mobile phone

if you remember the cress the

in the direct vicinity of the wireless router

is not up to it and if it is you

if you think about it at the

Most of your phone calls directly to your phone

take her ear and thus her brain directly

with electromagnetic radiation

expose

my sister did not care

how we think about the mobile phone radiation

avoid unnecessary cell phone radiation

can in our everyday life

there are very simple things for us

come in for example during

the call setup, the mobile phone in the hand

take and not on the ear at there the

radiation intensity is highest

or not in the car phoning where

we are in a closed room and

the radiation intensity thereby also

again is significantly higher but on

Of course we would find it the best

if the phones we use

phoning such a low radiation

that they do not harm us

So are not against the use of

mobiles because we have a total benefit of

they have but we need more in

thus the research invest

the effect of the many radiate us

surrounded daily

for us humans further investigated

because we all want negative

Long-term effects of radiation for us

people and avoid and the technology

Of course we all like it very much

should also benefit us and ours

live well

Thank you for your attention

[Applause]
