Biological Effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation

  • Chapter
Electromagnetic Interaction with Biological Systems

Abstract

In the last 50 years, there has been an exponential growth of man-made electromagnetic (EM) fields, associated with comunication systems that now blanket the earth and with a vast and ever-increasing network of electric power distribution systems (Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 1977). It is therefore curious that although many of the most important fundamental observations on the physical effects of light and other nonionizing EM radiations were made more than 100 years ago, knowledge of their biological effects has grown more slowly. Tissue interactions with EM fields have been extensively studied in terms of two quite different endpoints; in their thermal effects and in ionization of atoms in biomolecular systems.
