An increased incidence and severity of a brownish coloration of hair has been observed around the nose and on the ears of female rats that were chronically exposed to 60‐Hz electric fields. Microscopic examination of the colored areas revealed a red‐brown globular deposit on hair shafts in affected areas without signs of physical injury.
