Abstract
The problem of dosimetry of EmFs in biological and medical investigations involves three main questions:
-
1.
What physical quantities should be chosen for the evaluation of the intensity of the EmF in relation to the conditions and aim of the investigations?
-
2.
What is the relation between the intensity of the EmF measured in the medium surrounding the living object and the “biologically effective” intensity acting directly on the object?
-
3.
What techniques and instruments can be used to measure the intensity of EmFs acting on man and in experiments with animals?
