Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in Living Systems / Edition 1

by James C. Lin

Overview

Volume 2 in this series offers research into two specific regions of the electromagnetic spectrum: extremely low frequency fields and radiofrequency radiation, with particular emphasis on the latter. The investigations explore:

• melatonin synthesis and exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) fields
• ELF fields and cancer
• computational bioelectromagnetics
• health effects, including the carcinogenic potential of radiofrequency radiation
• radiofrequency radiation as an energy source for arrhythmia, and
• practical applications of the radiofrequency exposure standard.

Editorial Reviews

4 Stars! from Doody

Reviews the latest research in basic, clinical, and applied aspects of the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation on living systems, with emphasis on radio frequencies. Topics include melatonin aspects of exposure to low frequency electric and magnetic fields, health effects of radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication technology, laboratory evidence for the carcinogenic potential of radiofrequency radiation, computer modeling of bioelectromagnetics, and new standards for radiofrequency exposure.
