For many years, scientists have suspected that long-term exposure to extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) A may be associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Some studies have shown that EMF exposure can damage DNA in a variety of human and animal cells, while others have shown no significant effect. Now Henry Lai and Narendra P. Singh of the University of Washington offer support for speculation that environmental exposure to EMFs is hazardous and that the effects may be cumulative [EHP 112:687-694]. They also offer a potential cellular mechanism for cell ...
