Effect of 60-Hz magnetic fields on ultraviolet light-induced mutation and mitotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Interaction of static and extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields with living systems: Health effects and research needs

“…There have also been reports of interaction between exposure to magnetic fields and X-rays [Hintenlang, 1993]. Interactions between magnetic-field exposure and ultraviolet light have also been reported [Ager and Radul, 1992;Cantoni et al, 1996].…”

Assessment of Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Hazards in Brain and Bone Marrow Cells of Newborn Rats Exposed to Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field

“…Ager and Radul [9] studied the effects of ELF-MF on mitotic recombination in Saccharomyce scerevisiae and found no effect. Antonopoulos et al [10] found that incubation of peripheral blood culture upon exposure to an electromagnetic field (EMF, 50 Hz, and 5 mT) leads to stimulation of cell proliferation in lymphocytes but has no influence on the frequencies sister chromatid exchange.…”

Effect of seed pretreatment by magnetic field on the sensitivity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings to ultraviolet-B radiation

“…Previous study demonstrated that electromagnetic treatment decreased DNA repair rates in human cancer cell lines (Robison et al, 2002). MF could also induce plant mutation (Ager and Radul, 1992) and UV-B irradiation could produce cyclobutane dimers (CPD) and (6-4) photoproducts in plant DNA (Britt, 1996). Thus the combination of MFpretreatment and UV-B irradiation would cause more harm on DNA, and this might lead to the detrimental effect, which was being conducted in our laboratory.…”
