Scientists — modern electronics prevents migration of birds

 



The space surrounding us are crowded electromagnetic signals. Most of them do not cause living beings any harm, but recent studies have shown that the amplitude-modulated wave (AM wave) desorientiert birds of some species, in particular, the European Robins during spring migration. This problem caught the interest of the researcher of the University of Oldenburg Henrik Mouritsen. The fact that migratory birds Orient themselves in space by using the internal magnetic compass, but lately at some point it ceases to function, and the birds completely lose orientation. To determine the cause, the scientist changed the lighting, the food of birds, and even the shape of the experimental cell.





Breakthrough in the research came when Mouritsen shielded cage aluminum screen. Thereafter, the birds were again without error to navigate in space. Wi-Fi signals, mobile phones and magnetic field of power lines were cleared.

The cause of "smog" have become the AM radio waves, electromagnetic fields of computers and some electronics. Among the "suspects" were also fridges and printers. Alas, we have to admit that the "traditional" types of environmental pollution, and added pollution of the electromagnetic spectrum.
