Effect of extremely low frequency electric field on liver, kidney, and lipids of Wistar rats

generating stations, distribution lines, high voltage (HV) lines, and electric appliances. Increased speed of urbanization and per capita increase in the utilization of electricity is forcing all kinds of living bodies to be exposed to electromagnetic environment created by man-made sources. To meet the increased demands, electric power generation, distribution, and transmission networks are also experiencing a vast boost. Man-made electromagnetic environment is turning dense owing to power frequency nonionizing radiations around different sources. Biological activeness of power frequency fields came forward after a study in USSR substation in 1972, which associated the fields with potential health hazards.[1] Attempts initiated and conclusions drawn after this study, to assess exposure-oriented effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF), were categorical. Further research in bioelectromagnetics put forward that each organ of biological bodies have different electrical properties such as conductivity and relative permittivity. Biological effects in Background: Increased utilization of electricity and rapid urbanization has caused a greater part of the community to be exposed to extremely low frequency (ELF) fields. Detrimental effects of power frequency fields produced by man-made sources have been notified during the last few decades.
