| Abstract |
Four groups of mated CD-1 mice were exposed to 20kHz magnetic fields from day 1 to day 18 of pregnancy. There were at least 140 pregnant females in each group. Evaluation of numbers of implantations, foetal deaths and resorptions, gross external, visceral and skeletal malformations, and foetal weights revealed no significant differences between any of the exposed groups and the unexposed controls. Results do not support the hypothesis that the 20kHz magnetic fields associated with video display terminals are teratogenic in mammals. |
