Elf magnetic field effects on some hematological and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood in mice

In this work we have studied some hematological and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood, as well as some histological aspects of liver and spleen during chronic exposure (1,6, and 8 months) to extremely low-frecuency magnetic(ELF-MF).Balb/C mice were exposed to an experimental sinusoidal wavefield of 60 Hz with a 0.11-mT intensity, generated in a system of Helmholtz coils.The results have shown no ELF-MF-cancer rela tionship during our experimental exposure time.However, leukopenia, hemoglobin decrease, and liver and spleen weigth increase were observed. The bioeffects described could be correlated with spleen hyperfuncction, which could have been produced by chronic exposure to this ELF-MF
