ABSTRACT

In the present revision, an approach to the present context occurs on the controversy that has occurred about the potential risk that represents being submissive the influence of magnetic fields and if this could get to become a problem of public health. The results of the investigations presented here, suggest them agnetic fields are able to modify cellular activities, and that this must be considered in the estimation of the potential risk that represents a labor or environmental exposition these physical agents
