Genetic effects across different kinds of electromagnetic field

What this paper brings together

A survey of RF, static and extremely-low-frequency research on DNA damage, chromosomal endpoints and gene expression.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

Surveys RF, static and ELF research on genotoxicity and gene expression, emphasizing dependence on cell type, duration and field characteristics and considering free-radical mechanisms.

Reading the connections carefully

No single confirmed mechanism or pooled effect size. Genetic responses can be adaptive or harmful and cannot automatically be translated into cancer risk.
