The influence of solar activity on the earth's biosphere∗∗∗ (Part I)

Abstract

Abstract In recent years it was shown that low frequency oscillations of electro‐magnetic terrestrial fields could affect considerably the Earth's biosphere. The author showed a statistical relationship between myocardial infarction (both morbidity and mortality) and geomagnetic disturbances (due to solar corpuscular streams) for a number of cities in the U.S.S.R. His findings seem to suggest the possibility of direct affects of solar activity on living organisms.
