Are 50/60 Hz magnetic fields carcinogenic
Magnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment. They are commonly measured in Tesla (T), the international unit for magnetic flux density. One Tesla is a very high magnetic field. Human exposures to such high fields occur only with magnetic resonance imaging machines (MRI machines which are used for medical imaging), which produce magnetic field levels up to a few Tesla. To describe ...
متن کاملEffects of 60 Hz magnetic fields on teenagers and adults
BACKGROUND As use of electrical devices has increased, social concerns about the possible effects of 60 Hz electromagnetic fields on human health have increased. Accordingly, the number of people who complain of various symptoms such as headache and insomnia has risen. Many previous studies of the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure on children have focused on the o...
متن کاملHuman exposure to 60-Hz magnetic fields: neurophysiological effects.
The neurophysiological effects of exposure to power-frequency magnetic fields at two occupationally-relevant intensities were evaluated in a single-blind study with 18 male and 18 female volunteers. Auditory brainstem (BAEP) and somatosensory (SEP) evoked potentials were recorded before, during and after field exposure (duration = 45 min, frequency = 60 Hz, field intensities = 14.1 or 28.3 micr...
متن کاملBrain cancer and leukemia and exposure to power-frequency (50- to 60-Hz) electric and magnetic fields.
Concern about a possible association between cancer and electric and magnetic fields created by the generation and use of electricity first surfaced in response to the study of childhood cancer in Denver, Colorado, by Wertheimer and Leeper (1). Since then, nearly 90 epidemiologic studies of both occupational and environmental exposure have been published, and numerous reviews (e.g., references ...
متن کاملEffects of 60 Hz extremely low frequency magnetic fields (EMF) on radiation- and chemical-induced mutagenesis in mammalian cells.
There is considerable uncertainty of the potential biological effects of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF or EMF) because of mixed results in epidemiological and laboratory studies. In the present study, exponentially growing human-hamster hybrid A(L) cells were treated with a 100 microT alternating EMF powered at 60 Hz for either 24 h or 7 days. Exposure to EMF was conducted eit...
