摘要: During the years 1990-2003, a large number of investigations were conducted using animals, cultured rodent and human cells as well freshly collected blood lymphocytes to determine genotoxic potential exposure nonionizing radiation emitted from extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF). Among 63 peer reviewed scientific reports, conclusions 29 studies (46%) did not indicate increased damage genetic material, assessed DNA strand breaks, incidence chromosomal aberrations (CA), micronuclei (MN), sister chromatid exchanges (SCE), in EMF exposed compared with sham and/or unexposed cells, while those 14 (22%) have suggested an increase such cells. The observations 20 other (32%) inconclusive. This study reviews published journals during 1990-2003 attempts identify probable reason(s) for conflicting results. Recommendations are made future research address some controversial observations.
