Human skin cell culture (HaCaT) that has been exposed to an AC magnetic field undergoes detectable changes in its biochemical properties and shapes. Such changes were observed by infrared wavelength-selective scanning near-field optical microscopy with a resolution of 80-100nm. We specifically investigated the changes in the distribution of the inner chemical functional groups and in the cell morphology induced by a 24h exposure to a 1mT (rms), 50Hz sinusoidal magnetic field in a temperature regulated solenoid. These results further accentuate the crucial questions, raised by several recent studies, about the impact of lowfrequency electromagnetic field on human cells.

Abstract
Human skin cell culture (HaCaT) that has been exposed to an AC magnetic field undergoes detectable changes in its biochemical properties and shapes. Such changes were observed by infrared wavelength-selective scanning near-field optical microscopy with a resolution of 80-100nm. We specifically investigated the changes in the distribution of the inner chemical functional groups and in the cell morphology induced by a 24h exposure to a 1mT (rms), 50Hz sinusoidal magnetic field in a temperature regulated solenoid. These results further accentuate the crucial questions, raised by several recent studies, about the impact of lowfrequency electromagnetic field on human cells.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
