Effects of long-term exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields on cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage.
exposure limits could result in adverse human health effects. In the present study, the effects of long-term MF exposure on three different study endpoints (cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to ...
A qualitative approach to experiential knowledge identified in focus groups aimed at co-designing a provocation test in the study of electrohypersensitivity
experimental protocol to study their condition. It presents the participatory approach with focus groups that was implemented and reflects on ways to take advantage of experiential knowledge. It also ...
Biological effects of radiofrequency fields: Testing a paradigm shift in dosimetry
microscale, which is of potential consequence in particular at frequencies beyond 3 GH z. We propose study protocols to explore that question. Health Topics: Electromagnetic fields (incl. ionising and ...
In vitro 50 Hz magnetic field long-term exposure: Cytogenetic tests on human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells and validation of the test environment
In this manuscript, an optimized protocol for a combined in vitro comet/micronucleus study to investigate these effects in a human lymphoblastoid cell line (TK6) is provided including the description ...

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.
bacterial Vitotox test was used. Our study confirmed previous results which showed that a 100 μT magnetic field (50 Hz) does not damage DNA and hence is not mutagenic in this assay and that there was also no ...
Childhood Leukaemia incidence around the Belgian nuclear sites: Surrogate exposure modelling.

Health effects of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields: reconsidering the melatonin hypothesis in the light of current data on magnetoreception
not been experimentally studied any more. In the present study, we propose to go back to the MLT hypothesis and apply it to childhood leukemia, for which an increased risk has been robustly associated ...
