Abstract
This paper analyses works studying the influence of low-intensity electromagnetic fields of natural
(cosmophysical factors) and technogenic (mobile phone radiation) origin on the antenatal development
of humans and animals, including the stages of germ cells formation, conception, gestation, and
parturition. We chose the antenatal period as it is then that the mechanisms of adaptation to the effects of the external environment are just being formed. Our main task was to systematize the key lines of
research in this area and present the results obtained. We chose not to give a detailed analysis of
the possible impact mechanisms of these environmental factors, since such a task requires separate
consideration. It should be noted, however, that the majority of the analysed works look into possible
impact mechanisms, in particular those produced by electromagnetic radiation of mobile phones. The
fundamental difference in the nature of the biotropic effect of these factors is underlined. Space weather
as an integral factor of human habitat on a global scale undergoes cyclic and quasi-periodic changes (at
the level of decades, years, months, weeks, and days), while exposure to mobile phone radiation is an
uncontrollable and constantly operating factor with a pronounced accumulative effect. The analysis of
the data obtained by various researchers revealed their inconsistency. Nevertheless, on the whole, they
indicate that low-intensity electromagnetic fields – both natural (cosmophysical factors) and technogenic
(mobile phone radiation) – can influence the antenatal development of humans and animals.
Keywords
low-intensity electromagnetic fields, cosmophysical factors, solar and geomagnetic activity, mobile phone radiation, antenatal (intrauterine) development
