초록
현대인들은 가정생활과 직업환경 속에서 다양한 종류의 전자기파에 노출되며 전자기파 노출에 따른 생체위해성은 공중보건학적으로 중요한 이슈로 대두되었다. 현재까지 많은 체외 및 체내실험 결과에서 전자기파 노출이 세포대사, 내분비, 면역, 신경, 생식, 태아발달에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되었다. 세포나 개체 수준에서 시행된 실험연구에서는 전자기파 노출에 의해 세포내부자유기의 증가, DNA 손상과 암발생, 발생기형, 생식기능저하가 나타난다. 역학조사결과 전자기파 노출은 생명을위협하는 질병인 백혈병, 뇌암, 근위축성 측삭경화증, 우울증, 자살, 알츠하이머와 상관성이 보고되었다. 이러한생체기능 변화는 전자기파의 주파수, 노출기간, 강도 (에너지)에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 전자기파 노출은 곤충,어류, 양서류, 파충류, 조류 등 야생동물에서도 동물행동,번식, 생리기능의 변화를 초래한다. 본 소고에서는 인간보건학적 측면과 생태계에서 나타난 전자기파의 위해성을 전자기파의 종류, 노출시간에 따라 세포 및 개체 수준에서 보고된 위해성 자료를 정리하였다.
Abstract
The safety of human exposure to an ever-increasing number and diversity of electromagnetic field (EMF) sources both at work and at home has clearly become a public health issue. To date many in vivo and in vitro studies revealed that EMF exposure can alter cellular metabolism,endocrine function, immune activity, reproductive function, and fetal development in animal system. The major parameters found to be altered in cells or individuals following EMF exposure include an increase of free radicals, DNA damage, cancer risk, developmental defect, and reproductive dysfunctions. Epidemiological studies reported EMF can increase life-threatening illnesses such as leukemia, brain cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, clinical depression, suicide, and Alzheimer’s disease has been identified. These effects of EMF exposure differ according to duration of exposure, frequency of waves, and strength (energy) of EMF. In the present review, we briefly introduced the physical properties of EMF and summarized the effect of EMF on human and wildlife animals according to types of EMF, duration of exposure at cellular and organism levels.
