Behavior of radon progeny in low frequency electromagnetic fields

Whether the electro-magnetic (EM) fields are carcinogenic or not still rema ins to be discussed From scientific point of view. Recently a possibility w as 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 pa ttern and the magnitude of the deposition rate of decay products on both CR -39 track detectors and imaging plates under various conditions. We conclud ed that the attachment td wire cables should be increased mainly by electri c component of low frequency EM-fields and possibly by electric field induc ed by strong changing magnetic ones.
