The data showed that the extremely weak alternating magnetic fieldexposure could both increase and decrease the magnitude of stress in humans. In particular, the field tuned to the nuclear spins of hydrogenatoms (1.6 µT, 76 Hz) decreased the Baevsky stress index, whereas the field tuned to the magnetic moments formed by the orbiting electrons in some atoms (0.192 µT, 3000 Hz) increased this index. These findings provide a possible explanation for the mechanisms of adverse effects caused by extremely weak alternating magnetic fields of certain types on the humancardiovascular system.
