  • Abstract
    Three successive generation of CFW mice have been chronically exposed to a 25-mT (250,000 mG), 60-Hz electromagnetic field for prolonged periods of time. At the end of the exposure period, a complete autopsy was performed and the tissue from the main organs was processed for histopathological examination. The results reveal that a significant number of the animals in the exposed groups, especially in the third generation, have developed malignant lymphoma compared with the control groups. Statistical analysis of the data shows a very significant effect of exposure to the electromagnetic field on the resulting pathology. Also, the females appear to be more susceptible to the adverse effects of the field than the males
