Abstract

Electromagnetic fields, constant and alternating, are a static element of the environment. They originate from both natural and man-made sources. Depending on the type of the field, its intensity and time of activity, they exert different effects onthe natural world (plants and animals). Some animals utilize magnetic field of the earth for their own purposes. Med Pr 2007;58(1):37ś48
