HUMAN TOLERANCE TO MAGNETIC FIELDS

BS>The physiological and psychological effects of magnetic fields on man were studied. There was no sensation in part and entire body exposure to non- changing fields up to 20 kilogauss for a duration of 15 minutes, and no after- effects following exposure to fields of 5 kilogauss for less than three days per year per man. However, taste and pain sensation may be caused by fillings of the teeth in high strength fields. Visual sensations are also noticed in alternating fields. (N.W.R.)
