β¦ Synopsis
The snouts of rats were placed in a 60-Hz electric field at an unperturbed field strength of 50 kV/m. A count of the number of vibrissae that moved in the field was made on a series of rats over a number of days where the laboratory humidity varied from 25% to 48%.
The number observed to vibrate fell from nine to zero or one at relative humidities between 25 % and 39%, respectively.

## Abstract We evaluated humoral and cellular functions of the immune system of SwissβWebster mice exposed to 60βHz electric fields at 100 kV/m. No significant differences were observed in primary antibody response to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (precipitating antibody levels) between exposed (30 or
