Effects of long-term exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields on cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage.
damage induced by known mutagens) were investigated in the human B lymphoblastoid (TK6) cell line. Cells were exposed to 50 Hz MF at three selected magnetic flux densities (i.e., 10, 100, and 500 μT) for ...
In vitro 50 Hz magnetic field long-term exposure: Cytogenetic tests on human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells and validation of the test environment
effects of extremely low-frequency (electro)magnetic fields (ELF-(E) MF s) have long been investigated, but the results are still inconclusive. With respect to genotoxicity, sound data related to the ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
Belgium, variations in thyroid cancer incidence were observed around the major nuclear sites. The present ecological study investigates whether there is an excess incidence of thyroid cancer among people ...
Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008
reactors radioactive pollutants Statistical analysis Abstract: This paper describes an ecological study investigating whether there is an excess incidence of acute leukaemia among children aged 0-14 years ...
Co-exposure of ELF-magnetic fields and chemical mutagens: An investigation of genotoxicity with the SOS-based VITOTOX test in Salmonella typhimurium.
environmental mutagens remain possible yet. We therefore investigated the effects of ELF- MF in conjunction with 4 different well known chemical mutagens having different modes of action. For this purpose the ...
Childhood Leukaemia incidence around the Belgian nuclear sites: Surrogate exposure modelling.
