Potential genetic risks from stationary magnetic field

J Hyg Epidemiol Microbiol Immunol. 1977;21(4):465-7.

Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis of Dede cell lines (Chinese hamster) was used to study the mutagenic effect of stationary magnetic field (SMF) and the combined effect of SMF and TEPA. Cytogenetic analysis showed a moderate mutagenic effect after exposure to SMF. In combination with TEPA, only the additive effect of the two mutagens was observed.
