title: A test for increased lethality in land snails exposed to 60 Hz magnetic fields.
abstract: A recent report suggested that exposures of land snails to 0.1 mT, 60 Hz magnetic fields for periods of 48-120 h increase mortality levels by 2-10 times. In direct experimental tests, we were unable to confirm this effect.
