A Study of the Effect of ELF Electromagnetic Fields upon 'Drosophila melanogaster'.

Abstract

Drosophila melanogaster were exposed to 20 volts per meter rms and 2 gauss rms at CW frequencies of 45 and 75 HZ for a period of 48 hours. The classical Muller-5 technique for the detection of sex-linked lethals was employed to study mutation rate. No indication of mutagenic effect was found. (Author)
