LIFE-SPAN EXPOSURE TO SINUSOIDAL-50 HZ MAGNETIC FIELD AND ACUTE LOW-DOSE Γ RADIATION INDUCE CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS IN SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS.

Storico studio condotto dall'Istituto Ramazzini di Bologna (che conferma i precedenti lavori pubblicati dai ricercatori tedeschi) su migliaia di ratti in cui si dimostra in modo acclarato la correlazione tra esposizione a basse frequenze ( 50 hZ, ovvero  elettrodotti ) + associazione a radiazioni gamma, e il processo di PROMOZIONE  nelle fasi della carcinogenesi. Nel dettaglio le neoplasie che si sono sviluppate dopo il processo di irradiazione (ratti soppressi dopo 2 anni) sono:

1) carcinomi mammari nel maschio e nella femmina

2) Schwannoma ( tumore cardiaco)

3) Leucemia e linfoma

Perentorie le conclusioni del gruppo di ricerca: " These results call for a re-evaluation of the safety of non-ionizing radiation"..   questi risultati richiedono una rivalutazione della sicurezza delle radiazioni non ionizzanti. 

Magari classificandole come PROBABILI CANCEROGENI, con buona pace di chi sostiene il contrario.

Abstract

Background In 2002 the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELFMF) as a possible carcinogen on the basis of epidemiological evidence. Experimental bioassays on rats and mice performed up to now on ELFMF alone or in association with known carcinogens have failed to provide conclusive confirmation. Objectives To study the carcinogenic effects of combined exposure to sinusoidal-50 Hz (S-50Hz) magnetic fields and acute γ radiation in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods We studied groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to 20 or 1000 μT S-50Hz MF and also to 0.1 Gy γ radiation delivered as a single acute exposure at 6 weeks of age. Results The results of the study showed significant carcinogenic effects for the mammary gland in males and females and a significant increased incidence of malignant schwannomas of the heart as well as increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in males. Conclusions These results call for a re-evaluation of the safety of non-ionizing radiation.
