Abstract
The features and intensities of electric and magnetic fields in the en vironment are described. Natural as well as technical constant and var iable fields are considered in the light of their possible biological effects. The upper limits of the various fields are discussed. Results of laboratory measurements and also of epidemiological investigations are presented. The question is raised whether atmospheric small ions can cause a biological effect.
