Abstract
For simplicity, we have used the acronym “RFR” in our database to span the nominal frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz even though that range covers both the radiofrequency and microwave regions. So far, we have not included analyses of possible bioeffects of electric and magnetic fields at powerline frequencies (50–60 Hz).
