Exposure to a 60Hz, 4 microT electromagnetic field resulted in a significant reduction in the activity level of 5' nucleotidase in normal live embryos. Levels of acetylcholinesterase and alkaline phosphatase were not affected. The effect of the field on 5'NT levels appears to be permanent, as incubation in a field free environment for a further 15 days did not result in enzyme levels returning to control values.

Magnetic Fields

A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the surrounding space, in addition to its electric field. The magnetic field exerts a force on any other moving charge or current that is present in the field. Like an electric field, the magnetic field is also a vector field. At any position, the direction of the magnetic field is defined as the direction in which the north pole of a compass needle points.
A magnetic field is defined by the force that a charged particle experiences...
