Abstract
The effects of extremely-low-frequency pulsed magnetic fields on human chromosomes with respect to the capacity of inducing chromosome breakage were studied. After human peripheral lymphocytes were exposed in vitro to pulsed electromagnetic fields at different intensities, a significant effect was observed for one of the intensities tested (40 Gauss), relative to the control group with respect to the yield of chromosome breakages.Keywords
