This laboratory animal study tested whether electromagnetic fields (EMFs) representative of controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM) surveys affect Atlantic cod reproduction and early development. Two single 15-minute exposure experiments were conducted: exposure of males prior to sperm assessment and exposure of…

This laboratory study examined pulsed magnetic field (PMF) pretreatment of soybean seeds (1500 nT) at 0.1–100 Hz for 5 hours/day over 20 days. The abstract reports increased germination rates for all PMF treatments, with 10 and 100 Hz showing the strongest responses, and improvements in several seedling growth and…

Jan 1, 2007
This animal study reports that exposing worker oriental hornets in an artificial breeding box to an additional 50 Hz magnetic field (50–70 mGauss) altered comb construction compared with controls under only the terrestrial magnetic field. The abstract describes fewer cells and eggs, more deformed cell geometry, and…
