Dr. Carl F. Blackman is a Research Scientist in the Environmental
Carcinogenesis Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency. He
received his Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1969, performed post-doctoral
training at Brookhaven National Laboratory (1969-1970), and joined the
EPA in 1970. For many years, Dr. Blackman studied the complexities of
electric and magnetic field interactions with biological systems. His
work resulted in several discoveries including multiple effect "windows"
of intensity and frequency, and the demonstration that the earth's
magnetic field was involved in some biological responses to EMF, and he
collaborated on the development of mathematical models that are useful
to predict EMF conditions that can cause biological responses. He and
colleagues, Drs Ubeda and Trillo, discovered that the oncostatic
hormone, melatonin, can modulate gap junction intercellular
communication and partially oppose the action of known and suspected
tumor promoting agents to close this communication. They also
demonstrated that the biological action of melatonin can be altered by
magnetic field exposure. While at EPA, Dr. Blackman received research
support (1989-1998) through an interagency agreement from the US
Department of Energy. He is now part of a research group investigating
the influence of DNA methylation on the expression of tumor
suppressor genes.
Dr. Blackman is one of six founders in 1978 of the Bioelectromagnetics
Society, served as president in 1990, and as a member of Editorial Board
of the Society's journal for seven terms (14 years). He served on the
World Health Organization committee to evaluate the health implications
of radiofrequency radiation exposure (Environmental Health Criteria
#137, 1993), on a committee of the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of low frequency
electric and magnetic fields in 2001 (Volume 80, 2002) and as chair of
the genetic studies group of the ANSI/IEEE committee that issued the US
1992 Radiofrequency Radiation exposure guidelines. He has also
served on the US National Council of Radiation and Measurement's
committee, chaired by Dr. Adey, to evaluate the potential health effects
of low frequency electric and magnetic fields.
Dr. Blackman is a member of the American Society for Cell Biology,
American Society for Photobiology, the Biophysics Society,
Bioelectromagnetics Society, European BioElectromagnetics Association,
and the Society for In Vitro Biology. He has co-author of 56
peer-reviewed publications, 22 book chapters, 54 invited presentations,
and 130 abstracts.

CURRENT RESEARCH
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS ON MEMBRANE ENZYMES AND ON THE CELLULAR
STRESS RESPONSE.
Electromagnetic (EM) fields have been used therapeutically for
accelerated healing and pain control, but they have also been associated
with adverse health effects. To understand these biological effects, we
have been studying the interaction of low frequency EM fields with cells
at both the cellular and molecular levels. Our studies with cells have
shown that 60Hz EM fields induce stress genes and stress response
proteins in cells. The stress response is a protective mechanism induced
by many potentially harmful environmental stimuli and characterized by
the synthesis of specific proteins that assist the renaturation and
transport of other proteins. Our studies suggest that EM fields initiate
the stress response by interacting with electrons moving within DNA. We
have identified a 900 base pair segment associated with the response to
EM fields, that when removed eliminates the response, and when
transfected into a reporter construct, causes the construct to become EM
field responsive. We have also investigated the mechanism of EM field
interactions at the molecular level through effects on three reactions,
electron transfer in cytochrome oxidase, ATP hydrolysis by the
Na,K-ATPase, and the Belousov-Zhabotinski (BZ) reaction (the catalyzed
oxidation of malonic acid). The BZ reaction is studied with ordinary
reagents, so there is no problem of impurities as with biological
preparations. All three reactions show:
EM accelerates the reaction rate, i.e., electron transfer rate
EM competes with the chemical force, so its effect varies inversely
with the reaction rate
thresholds for interaction are low, comparable to levels found by
epidemiology
effects vary with frequency, and there are different optima for the
reactions studied: ATPase (60Hz), cytochrome oxidase (800Hz), BZ (250Hz)
These properties are consistent with the idea that EM fields affect many
biological systems by interacting with electrons moving during redox
reactions and also within DNA.
