View Original AbstractElectrical workers showed no signs of cellular damage from ELF electromagnetic field exposure, though actual exposure levels weren't specified.
Plain English Summary
Researchers studied 310 electrical workers who regularly inspect power transformers and distribution lines to see if their exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields caused oxidative stress (cellular damage from harmful molecules). They measured multiple markers of cellular damage and DNA damage in blood samples, comparing the workers to 300 office staff with minimal EMF exposure. The study found no significant differences between the two groups in any of the damage markers tested.
Study Details
To investigate whether extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure could induce oxidative stress in workers performing tour-inspection near transformers and distribution power lines.
Occupational short-term ‘spot’ measurements were performed. In total, 310 inspection workers exposed...
No significant changes of enzyme activities or MDA concentration were found. Neither the frequency o...
Continual ELF-EMF exposure might not induce oxidative stress in workers from a power supply bureau.
