View Original AbstractThis study found no DNA damage from 60 Hz magnetic fields at levels higher than typical household exposure.
Plain English Summary
Korean researchers exposed mouse and human cells to 60 Hz magnetic fields (the same frequency used in electrical power systems) for 4 hours to see if this would cause DNA damage, either alone or when combined with known cancer-causing agents like radiation. They found no DNA damage from the magnetic field exposure, even when combined with other harmful substances that normally cause genetic damage.
Study Details
The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of 60 Hz magnetic fields in a normal cell line system, and particularly in combination with various external factors, via micronucleus (MN) assays.
Mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH3T3 cells and human lung fibroblast WI-38 cells were exposed for 4 h t...
The results obtained showed no significant differences between the cells exposed to ELF-MF alone and...
Our results demonstrate that ELF-MF did not enhance MN frequency by IR, H(2)O(2) and c-Myc activation.
