Soil Microorganism Population Dynamics in Weak ELF Electromagnetic Fields.

Abstract

Soil samples were exposed in the laboratory to an electric field of 1 volt per meter rms and a magnetic field of 1 gauss rms at a frequency of 60 Hz for up to 16 weeks. Soil samples were assayed for total number of aerobes, anaerobes, and fungi and for microorganisms having specific biochemical functions. Results indicated no significant effects of the ELF fields on the concentration of microorganisms in the soil. (Author)
