Effects of long-term exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields on cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage.
Mertens Source: Heliyon, Volume 9, Issue 3 (2023) Abstract: Until today, it remains controversial whether long-term exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF- MF) below the legislative ...
A qualitative approach to experiential knowledge identified in focus groups aimed at co-designing a provocation test in the study of electrohypersensitivity
