[The embryotropic action of an industrial-frequency magnetic field].

The animals exposed to a magnetic field of industrial frequency with the level of induction of 250 over 4 months develop depression of their reproductive function, which fact manifests itself by decline in their potential of being able to conceive, drop in fertility because their general embryonal mortality is so high, their offspring lacking vital power, the numbers of deadborn being on the increase, their newborns dying during the first month of their life. There are also instances of female loss following delivery presenting with the events of bleeding, consequent upon disturbances in the reproductive function.

[The ecological-hygienic aspects of the study of industrial-frequency magnetic fields].

Magnetic fields of industrial frequency with magnetic flux density of 10 mkTl were studied for their effects on the morbidity pattern in the population of the settlement located in the vicinity of a high-voltage electric power line of 750 kV. A trend was noted towards increase in the incidence of nervous and endocrine diseases as well as metabolic disturbances and disorders of the immune system.
