Abstract
This paper presents the results of long-term exposure of mice to a 240 kV/m, 60 Hz electric field. Both males and females were subjected to this very intense field for over 4500 h before they were sacrificed for tests. The progenies resulting from breeding the various couples were also exposed to the same field. Studies were made to determine the effects of the electric field on drinkdng water consumption, rate of growth, body weight, number of progenies bom and survived, blood count and blood chemistry, protein analysis, and organs histology. In each study, the results were compared with those obtained from the corresponding control group.Keywords
