Impact of weak radiofrequency and static magnetic fields on key signaling molecules, intracellular pH, membrane potential, and cell growth in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells

Abstract

Overview

Extended exposures to weak radiofrequency (RF) fields are increasingly a public health concern due to potential adverse effects. This study explores the impact on HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells under specific conditions.

Findings

• Cells were exposed to static magnetic flux densities between 10 μT and 300 μT.
• RF magnetic fields varied from 1 nT to 1.5 μT across frequencies from 1.8 to 7.2 MHz over four days.
• Measurements included cell growth rates, intracellular pH, oxidative stress markers, and mitochondrial function.
• Results showcased dependence on carrier and modulation frequencies, plus background static magnetic field conditions.

Conclusion

The study indicates significant bio-molecular disruptions linked to RF and static magnetic fields, hinting at potential risks related to aging, cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s. Recognizing and controlling such environmental factors could be critical.
