title: Study of the effects of 50 Hz magnetic field on embryonic development: dependence on field level and field vector.
abstract: We studied the influence of power frequency and vector of EMF on avian and mammalian embryogenesis at a high level of magnetic induction (10 mT professional exposures and using therapeutic devices of Czech provenance) and at a low level (6 microT-environmental occurrence). No significant alterations of either avian or mammalian embryogenesis were found after repeated exposures to 50 Hz MF at 10 mT or 6 microT, nor with different vectors.
