Heat, kinetic energy, converts to electricity or current passing through the body. They must be accompanied by an electric field. Breaks disrupt cell functions, changes genes, causes cancer and cell death. Single strand breaks may repair, but double strand breaks may not repair. Animals exposed for 2 hours to 1-5 gauss have more single strand DNA breaks.
Breaks increase when the animal is given drugs and exposed to radiation.
Exposure to magnetic fields causes melatonin to disappear. Free radicals promote rather than mitigate cancer. Cancer cells express more transferrin receptors and also pick up more iron in the presence of magnetic fields. Within 4 days isolated cells increased apoptosis. Calcium ion concentration increased when EMFs were introduced into the cell causing intracellular calcium buildup and apoptosis.
