How are electromagnetic fields linked to cancer?

Answer 1

Radiation of high frequency can penetrate cells. If it strikes a section of DNA on the way through, the energy changes involved can easily damage the structure, causing mutations which lead to cancer.

Answer 2

In the mid-1990s the consequence of controversial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) was still undetermined. The EPA's 1990 finding that EMFs are a "probable" cause of cancer had not yet had a tangible impact on the transformer industry.

Answer 3

i think x-rays are most likely to, gamma rays may, but i think they more likely kill your cells than mutate them into cancers.

environmental factor

Answer 4

Ionizing radiation, yes definitely. Non-ionizing probably not. It all depends on the energy.

Answer 5

If I'm not mistaking all can cause cancer but Radio Waves and Visible Light.

Gamma Waves can cure cancer.

Answer 6

UV, X-Ray, Gamma. These are the higher frequency regions of the EM Spectrum and therefore have more energy so are more likely to cause cell damage or DNA mutations.
