Model		ELF and static magnetic field exposures and theoretical modeling regarding potentiation of reactive oxygen and airborne pollutants
Details		Theoretical modeling and experimental measurements of ELF and static magnetic fields. In initial theoretical studies, the authors model the possible interaction between reactive oxygen and airborne pollutants. The authors propose the adoption of suitable precautionary principle and electromagnetic hygiene protocols to reduce contamination risks and increase subject well-being and productivity. In a 2007 study, the authors measured and speculated that the magnetic field environment of workers in office jobs could cause them to be exposed to elevated levels of 50-500 Hz "electro-smog", and further suggest this may increase the risk from airborne contaminants. Specifically, the authors suggest larger air ions (micro or aerosol particles) may be generated by electromagnetic fields and act as a vehicle for other contaminants into the body.
