Evaluation and Assessment of Extremely Low Frequency EMF Bioeffects

Ecological Impact

by Robert B. Goldberg, Ph.D., Editor

Summary

The question of the interaction of extremely low frequency EMFs with the environment and its flora and fauna is one of considerable interest. With respect to environmental flora, an interesting study on the interaction of weak ELF magnetic fields and aluminum ions on root growth in spruce seedlings is summarized here. Another related study is that of a Spanish research group investigating the effect of continuously exposing cork oak acorns to an ELF EMF magnetic field for 13 weeks. In Electromagnetic Field Toxicology Reporter, Volume 2 Number 2, we discussed several published studies with American kestrels. In this issue we discuss three further publications in this series. The first of these examined the effects of EMFs on the behavior of free-ranging and captive American kestrels, the second paper studied the effects of EMFs on the reproductive success of captive birds, and the third examined the effects of EMF exposure on their growth.
