Safety concerns related to magnetic field exposure review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: mutagenic effects
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell growth and cell survival
• effects on embryo/fetus: teratogenic effects
• effects on the reproductive system: reproductive effects
• effects on the cardiovascular system: vital signs
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: neuro-cognitive and behavioral effects
• guidelines/safety: safety concerns (ferromagnetic objects, medical devices, movement in the magnetic field, pregnancy and age-related concerns)
• interaction mechanisms of magnetic fields (especially those of MRI) with living organisms (magnetohydrodynamic forces, chemical reactions)

Exposure

• • 0 Hz
  • DC
  • static magnetic field
