In the USA has been studied the influence of electromagnetic fields that produce ovens, burners, dryers, etc. The exposure of rats to areas of 60 hertz for 24 hours has caused significant damage to DNA. The longer we had, the more serious the damage was. In addition, some brain cells have also seen suicide. The results are similar to those obtained after 10 repetitions of intensity. Therefore, the researchers conclude that the cumulative effect can be as harmful as that of intensity.

Researchers believe that the results are not alarming, but should be taken into account when using electrical appliances. However, more research will be needed to fully understand the impact of these tools.
