Artificial electromagnetic fields, which are a consequence of human progress especially generated by mobile telephony, begin to play a considerable role in shaping the Earth’s electromagnetic environment. This study attempts to determine the effects of the 1 800 MHz electromagnetic field on chicken embryogenesis. The chicken eggs (n=180) were randomly divided into three equal groups and incubated under standard conditions. Control group was incubated in the incubator without an EM field generator, sham group was set in the incubator with a switched off EM field generator, experimental group – chicken embryos were subjected to exposure to magnetic field (1 800 MHz) 10 time per 4 minutes every day. From 430 h of incubation hatch times were observed. The study showed that the chicks in experimental group started internal piping 32 h earlier than in the controls and shame group. While, the process of external piping in experimental group started 26 h earlier than in the control and shame group. The results show that electromagnetic field emitted by mobile telephony does not affect the number of obtained healthy chicks. Only in few unhatched embryos from the experimental group, lack of eyeball was observed. This study was performed under project DS 3210/KHDZFiZ.
