摘要
A model for magnetic field effects in biological systems is proposed. This model employs the basic concepts of the radical pair mechanism, and predicts that magnetic fields will increase the average radical concentration, lengthen their lifetime and enhance the probability of radical reactions with cellular components. The relevance of these effects in relation to cancer initiation, promotion and progression is discussed.
