Summary: Animal And Cellular Evidence

Since electrical appliances became very important in people’s life, scientists have studied the effects of magnetic fields on human health. In a study of magnetic fields and cancer, “Animal and Cellular Evidence,”(1). Bo Holmberg compares many studies that apply magnetic fields on mice and rats and he reports the effect of magnetic fields on skin, liver, harmonies, and DNA. He says, “Animal studies are essential to define the exposure parameters of magnetic fields responsible for an effect.”(1). Some studies apply magnetic fields with different flux density, low and high frequency, and exposure duration. He compares these studies to determine the important factors in these research. Holmberg mentions German study on rats that applies low-frequency …show more content…
Holmberg mentions a study by Steven R. that reports the effects of magnetic fields on melatonin harmony and the immune system. Holmberg notes an agreement on the issue of possible DNA injury via magnetic fields. He finds that electromagnetic fields create changes in the calcium metabolism of exposed cells. Furthermore, magnetic fields from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increase cytosolic in Leukemia cells. A study by Karin, “Childhood Leukemia and Magnetic Fields in Infant Incubators,”(2) starts by saying that “Leukemia is the malignant disease among children” and “no biological mechanism for the potential effect of EMFs [electromagnetic fields] on cancer risk has been identified.”(2). Over the last 20 years, many studies have found a relationship between electromagnetic fields and childhood leukemia. Karin, study almost 2 million infants and trace them from the birth until diagnosis, death, or December 1989; 752 children were diagnosed with Leukemia. They combine time of treatment with magnetic field values. They measure more than three different incubators of each model then summarise the measurements in each incubator by using the arithmetic mean and the
