Abstract Several experiments with rhesus and squirrel monkeys on the influence of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields found no effects on behavior. Magnetic fields of 0.3 and 1.0 mT with electric fields of below 1 to 29 V/m at frequencies of 7, 10, 15, 45, 60 and 75 Hz were used. Small differences in ambulatory activity and response rate were occasionally observed, but no consistent effects between or within animals on any measures were obtained. No effects on reaction time, interresponse time, match-to-sample performance, and blood constituents were observed. Such previously reported effects may not be a consequence of ELF values alone, but are probably related to other environmental variables.
