摘要
Whether the electro-magnetic (EM) fields are carcinogenic or not still remains to be discussed From scientific point of view. Recently a possibility was pointed out that increased deposition of radon progeny in the EM-Fields should enhance exposure dose to internal body. We investigated the behavior of charged Rn-222 progeny and aerosols containing them by measuring the pattern and the magnitude of the deposition rate of decay products on both CR-39 track detectors and imaging plates under various conditions. We concluded that the attachment td wire cables should be increased mainly by electric component of low frequency EM-fields and possibly by electric field induced by strong changing magnetic ones.
