Magnetic Field Effect on Biological Systems based on the Proceedings of the Biomagnetic Effects Workshop held at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory University of California, on April 6–7, 1978
Tom S. Tenforde A programma tic effort to assess the effects of magneticfield exposure on living organisms and man is under way at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. This program, which is supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research of the U. S. Department of Energy, has three...
