Abstract: Some new expressions are found, concerning the one-loop effective action of four dimensional massive and massless Dirac fermions in the presence of general uniform electric and magnetic fields, with $vecEcdotvecHeq0$ and $vec{E}^{2}eqvec{H}^2$. The rate of pair-production is computed and briefly discussed.
