Abstract
To evaluate biological effects of intermediate frequency magnetic fields (IF-MFs), effect on DNA methylation was investigated. As the results, we have not observed any significant effects by exposure to 21 kHz, 3.9 mT IF-MF that is 144 times higher than reference level for public in current ICNIRP guideline. This suggests that IF-MF is unlikely to cause adverse biological effects with our previous results.
