Abstract :
As a basic step in the study of the biological effect of power frequency magnetic field on creatures, some experiments were carried out to examine the chronic and genetic toxicities of fruit flies. Statistical analysis of the results showed that there is no obvious evidence that the exposure of fruit flies to power frequency magnetic field affected their longevity and mutation.
