Abstract
ELF-EMF radiation resulted in a time-dependent increase of micronuclei, which became significant after 10Â h of intermittent exposure at a flux density of 1Â mT. After approximately 15Â h a constant level of micronuclei of about three times the basal level was reached. In addition, chromosomal aberrations were increased up to 10-fold above basal levels. Our data strongly indicate a clastogenic potential of intermittent low-frequency electromagnetic fields, which may lead to considerable chromosomal damage in dividing cells.
