Arya Eledath was among the top 10 students at the Nebraska Junior Academy of Sciences Annual State Science and Engineering Fair April 20, at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
Arya Eledath was one of ten students to place in the Junior Division at the Nebraska Junior Academy of Sciences (NJAS) Annual State Science and Engineering Fair. The science fair was held April 20 at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
Eledath presented her research and findings along side 69 students from across the state. Each student qualified for the event by placing in the regional science fairs that were held earlier this year.
Students competed in two divisions, grades six through eight make up the Junior Division and grades nine though 12 make up the Senior Division.
Each student developed a scientific research project, wrote an abstract of the project and gave an oral presentation the day of the fair.
Eledath's research project was based on Radio-frequency (RF) radiation which is the transfer of energy by radio waves. Her hypothesis was that 60 percent of the population is exposed to more than 0.5 volts of RF radiation on a daily basis, which Eledath said could have adverse effects.
"RF radiation can cause nausea, itchiness, headaches and even cancer," Eledath said. "It can be especially bad for someone with electromagnetic hypersensitivity."
