✦ Synopsis

Abstract

It has been shown that rats, given the choice, will spend more time out of a 60‐Hz electric field than in it at field strengths ⩾ 75 kV/m. This paper describes research to examine the relevance of these data to a different species, the pig. Miniature pigs that had been exposed to a 60‐Hz electric field at 30 kV/m for 20 h/day, 7 days/week for as long as 6 months, were tested for their preference for the presence or absence of the field during a 23.5‐h period. Similar to earlier results with rats, miniature pigs spent more time out of the electric field than in it during the sleeping period.

We found in a previously reported study that exposure to a 30-kV/m, 60-Hz electric field had significant effects on the social behavior of baboons. However, it was not established whether or not the effects were related specifically to the 30-kV/m intensity of the field. A new experiment was conduct
