✦ Synopsis
We describe the design, construction details, and performance characteristics of an exposure system designed to provide very well controlled extremely-low-frequency magnetic field exposures of in vitro samples. This system uses Helmholtz coils placed inside temperature-controlled m-metal chambers to provide simultaneous ac and dc field exposures at any relative angle with minimal residual background field. The system has both exposed and sham-exposed chambers and is operated under computer control in such a way as to ensure blind exposure of samples.

## Abstract To evaluate the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELFMF) on β‐cell survival and function, we cultured a hamster‐derived insulin‐secreting cell line (HIT‐T15), which exhibits responsiveness to glucose in a semi‐physiological range, under exposure to sham and ELFMF condit
Extremely-low-frequency (ELF) and very-low-frequency (VLF) magnetic fields as emitted by monochrome and multichrome video display units (VDUs) were measured for their frequency domains. The rms magnetic-flux densities (MFDs) were measured as a function of distance from all six sides of VDUs of four
It has been proposed that chronic exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MF) in occupational environments could represent a risk factor for a number of disorders. Medical and technical workers in hospitals have been reported to be exposed to relatively strong ELF fields. The pres
