EMF50.76 A·m−1 ÷ 60.69 A·m−1
50 Hz,
days of exposure
(i) Decreased averaged growth rate in comparison to control group, decrease from 0.48 step/day to 0.43 step/day
(ii) Accelerated average time of metamorphosis of tadpoles by 2.4 days
[111]

MF7.467 MA·m−1(i) Changes in pigmentation of the cerebral cortex in the case of removed egg shells
(ii) Pigmentation of a function of the exposure time
(iii) Pathological changes in pigmentation
[112]

MF5.036 MA·m−1
various exposure periods
(i) No pathological changes after continuous 6 hrs exposure time of eggs in cell division after transitioning to tadpoles
(ii) Similar observations for 18 hrs exposure time to less intensive filed of 3.574 MA·m−1
(iii) Absence of morphological, functional changes, and the timing of development abnormalities in tested individuals
