Influence of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields on the circadian system: current stage of knowledge.

摘要: One of the side effects each electrical device work is electromagnetic field generated near its workplace. All organisms, including humans, are exposed daily to influence different types this field, characterized by various physical parameters. Therefore, it important accurately determine an on physiological and pathological processes occurring in cells, tissues, organs. Numerous epidemiological experimental data suggest that extremely low frequency magnetic transmission lines electrically powered devices high frequencies radiation emitted electronic have a potentially negative impact circadian system. On other hand, several studies found no these fields chronobiological According current state knowledge, some previously proposed hypotheses, one concerning key role melatonin secretion disruption pathogenesis induced diseases, need be revised. This paper reviews effect electric, magnetic, cortisol rhythms—two major markers system as well sleep. It also provides basic information about nature, classification, parameters, sources fields.
