The mice were continuously exposed or sham exposed from conception for two generations to magnetic fields varying between 0.5 and 77 µT. Two generations of the mice were used and each generation consisted of ten pairs (both groups). Each pair was allowed eight litters. At the age of three month, sperm counts were performed on male offspring selected from these litters conceived and born in the field (each group n=8).
two sets of four square coils perpendicular to each other; mice kept in 33 cm x 13 cm x 15 cm Perspex cages with cork flakes as bedding; field uniformity 0.2 % in the center of the coil system
