Abstract

The effects of continuous and amplitude-shift-keying low-intensity electromagnetic field (EMF) of the 10-m range with on–off cycling on fertility, offspring quality, and linear body size was studied in the planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna. Single exposure of 1-day-old crustaceans was shown to affect their reproductive characteristics, causing fetal abnormalities in the offspring and the linear dimensions of the body.
