Summary:
This animal study investigated whether the low-level exposure to ELF magnetic fields (MF) (alone and when combined with ionising radiation) has any effects on survival, growth and development of offspring during pregnancy and after birth. Mice were divided into 4 groups: sham-exposed, exposed to ELF-MF, exposed to X-rays (dose of 1 Gray), and exposed to both ELF-MF and X-rays. The ELF-MF exposure was at 50 Hz, 65 µT (32.5% of the public exposure limit from the current international guidelines), 24 hours/day for 30 days. The authors found that no effects were detected after continuous exposure to ELF-MF alone, whereas effects were observed with combined exposures to ELF-MF and X-rays.
