  • Magnetic fields affect DNA

    Magnetic fields from the electrical network can not only damage the DNA of brain cells, but the effects can be cumulative. These are some of the findings of recent studies by US researchers Drs Henry Lai and Narendra Singh. The Lai and Singh team first showed that magnetic fields from electricity could have genetic effects in 1997 when they found that a 60 Hz field of 0.1 - 0.5 mT produced single-strand and double-strand breaks in the DNA of rats’ brain cells.
