Health aspects of power transmission. [Effects of 60 Hz electric field on biochemical, morphological, and physiological parameters in mice and rats]perPhillips, R. D.USDOEorgUnited States. Department of Energy.Battelle Pacific Northwest Labs., Richland, WA (USA)Richland, WashingtonPacific Northwest Laboratory1979-03-01engExposure of rats and mice to 60-Hz electric fields at 100 kV/m for up to 120 days had no statistically significant, reproducible effects on a number of measures of metabolic status and growth, bone growth and structure, reproduction, hematology and serum chemistry, endocrinology, cardiovascular function, nerve function, or organ and tissue morphology. An effect on cell-mediated immunity was detected and is being evaluated further in additional experiments. Exposure of rats in utero (day 0 of gestation to 8 days of age) had a transient effect at 14 days of age on motile behavior and development of the righting reflex. Significant effects were observed in synaptic transmission and behavior. Exposure to 60-Hz electric fields may increase the excitability of the nervous system of rats. Experiments are in progress to obtain a better understanding of these effects and their potential consequences.17 pagesBodyAge DependenceDiseasesMammalsHz RangeMorphologyBehaviorNervous SystemMiceAnimalsPathological ChangesReproductionFrequency RangeBiological EffectsHeartSkeletonRatsFetuses63 Radiation, Thermal, And Other Environ.
