Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human brain cells to 50 Hz magnetic fields (the type from power lines) for 24 hours and tracked genetic damage for up to 45 days afterward. They found that the magnetic field exposure caused DNA damage that persisted for at least 30 days, and this damage wasn't prevented by antioxidants, suggesting the fields directly affect cellular genetics rather than just causing oxidative stress.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to further explore the induction of genomic instability by ELF MFs by increasing the follow-up time up to 45 days after exposure.
