✦ Synopsis

We exposed pigtailed macaques (Macaca nernesfrina) to electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields at strengths of 3 kV/m and 0.1 G , 10 kV/m and 0.3 G, and 30 kV/m and 0.9 G for three 21 day segments. These three exposure segments were preceded and followed by 21 day sham exposure segments. Additional animals received only sham exposure for five 21 day segments. Detailed description of the exposure chamber and field generation apparatus is given. We evaluated measures of animal well-being, including weight, blood chemistry, blood cell counts, and performance on a simple motor task, and performed postmortem examinations. Reliable and consistent results were obtained throughout data collection.
