Abstract

Most of the research on biological effects of electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields has been done with small rodents that have many physical and physiological attributes significantly different from those of man. Even closely related species can differ widely in their responses. The literature is replete with “anomalous” reactions. Thus, results of exposure of common laboratory animals cannot be readily extrapolated to man unless a comparative biology approach and some form of “scaling” among different animal species, and from animal to man, is used in an appropriate manner to obtain quantitatively valid extrapolation relationships from the observed data.
