99) Part2 Static Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer Bibliography
11) AB Hill: The environment and disease: Association or causation?
Proc. Royal Soc. Med. 58:295-300 (1965).
Formal enunciation of the principles used to determine causation for
occupational and environmental exposures (the Hill criteria).
12) DS Beniashvili et al: Low-frequency electromagnetic radiation
enhances the induction of rat mammary tumors by nitrosomethyl urea,
Cancer Letters 61:75-79 (1991).
Study of the effects of a 0.2 mT static fields (0.5 or 3 hrs/day for 2
years) on the induction of mouse mammary tumors by nitrosomethyl urea.
Authors report no effects are reported for static fields alone, but
promotion was reported for 3 hr exposures. Exposure, and particularly
sham-exposure conditions are poorly described.
13) DD Mahlum et al: Dominant lethal studies in mice exposed to
direct-current magnetic fields, In: "Biological effects of extremely low
frequency electromagnetic fields", RD Phillips MF Gillis WT Kaune et
al., eds., Technical Information Center, Springfield, pp. 474-484
(1979).
Male mice were exposed under three conditions: 1000 mT static field
for 28 days; 2.5 T/m (100-1000 mT) gradient field for 28 days; an on-off
ramped 2.5 T/m (100-1000 mT) gradient field for 42 hours. No increase
in dominant lethal mutations was observed.
14) S Mittler: Failure of magnetism to influence production of X-ray
induced sex-linked recessive lethals, Mutat. Res. 13:287-288 (1971).
Fruit flies were exposed to a 1100 mT static field and/or 3300 R of X-
rays. The magnetic field alone did not increase the number of
mutations, and the field did not increase the incidence of x-ray induced
mutations.
15) JR Diebolt: The influence of electrostatic and magnetic fields on
mutation in Drosophila melanogaster spermatozoa, Mutat. Res. 57:169-174
(1978).
No sex-linked recessive mutation in fruit flies exposed to static (0.3
kV/cm) electric and magnetic (927 mT) fields.
16) PG Kale & JW Baum: Genetic effects of strong magnetic fields in
Drosophila melanogaster, I. Homogeneous fields ranging from 13,000 to
37,000 Gauss, Mutat. Res. 1:371-374 (1979).
No induction of mutations in fruit flies exposed to 1300-3700 mT
static fields.
18) P Cooke & PG Morris: The effects of NMR exposure on living
organisms. II. A genetic study of human lymphocytes, Br. J. Radiol.
54:622-625 (1981).
Lymphocytes were exposed to 500 and 1000 mT static fields or to MRI
imaging procedures. No effects of chromosomal abnormalities or sister
chromatid exchanges were observed.
19) CR Geard et al: Magnetic resonance and ionizing radiation: A
comparative evaluation in vitro of oncogenic and genotoxic potential,
Radiology 152:199-202 (1984).
Mouse cells were exposed to static fields of up to 2700 mT for periods
of up to 17 hours, together with the gradient field, and the RF fields
that would be used in MRI. Ionizing radiation was used as a positive
control. No effect on transformation and chromosome abnormality rates
were found.
20) FJ Peteiro-Cartelle & J Cabezas-Cerrato: Absence of kinetic and
cytogenetic effects on human lymphocytes exposed to static magnetic
fields, J. Bioelec. 8:11-19 (1989).
PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes were exposed for 72-96 hours in
culture to a static field at 45 and 125 mT. No effects on chromosome
aberrations or cell growth were observed.
