Abstract

The results of experimental and theoretical studies on the combined action of weak electrical as well as constant and variable low-frequently magnetic fields on physicochemical and biological systems are generalised. It is shown that weak magnetic fields with parameters close to characteristics of the geomagnetic field exert selective effects, initiating the processes of chemical reactivity and ion conductivity in aqueous solutions of organic molecules.

Main findings

This paper generalises experimental and theoretical studies on the combined action of weak electrical fields and constant and variable low-frequency magnetic fields on physicochemical and biological systems. It reports that weak magnetic fields with parameters close to the geomagnetic field selectively affect aqueous solutions of organic molecules by initiating chemical reactivity and ion conductivity processes.

Outcomes measured

chemical reactivity
ion conductivity

Limitations

Appears to be a generalising review rather than a single primary study
No sample size reported in the abstract
Exposure parameters are not quantified in the abstract
Biological outcomes are described broadly without detailed effect estimates
