Exposure to either to low-frequency noise or ionizing radiation causes an increase in the number of chromosomal aberrations in the bone marrow cells and the level of low-molecular-weight DNA in the blood plasma of experimental animals. The dynamics of the content of low-molecular-weight DNA increasing after exposure to low-frequency noise and ionizing radiation differs significantly. Both exposures are able to provide a direct damaging effect on DNA.
