Very strong constant magnetic fields don't seem to be dangerous (at least at the kind of levels MRI machines work at, which are within an order of magnitude of the strongest magnets on the planet). A very rapidly changing strong magnetic field can be dangerous, because it induces currents in your body, like in your nerves. There are safety limits (very conservatively set) in MRI machines on how quickly they adjust magnetic fields, as if they were to really go for it there's a risk of heart problems (in the moment, it's not like CT scans where more exposure means more risk later in life). |
