Abstract

Since the opportunities that people are exposed to intermediate frequency (IF) magnetic fields (MF) are increasing, the health risk assessment of IF-MF has now become important. Because there have been few studies about long-term exposure to IF-MF with high magnetic flux density, we have developed a new apparatus capable of IF-MF exposure up to 3.9 mT for in vitro study. In this study, we found out that IF-MF did not affect both cell growth and mutagenicity using the mammalian cell line CHO-K1 and its DNA repair deficient derivatives.
