Mankind has come to a peculiar and very important interaction with the environment. To the existing electricity and magnetic fields of the Earth, atmospheric electricity, radio emissions of the Sun and the Galaxy, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of artificial origin was added. Biologically significant are the 50 Hz electric fields generated by overhead lines and substations. Genetic effects of EMR in Biosystems are established: induction of various genetic disorders at one modes of influence and modification of gene expression at others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
