Description
Summary and recommendations for further study -- Sources, measurements and exposures -- Electric and magnetic fields inside the body -- Biophysical mechanisms -- Neurobehaviour -- Neuroendocrine system -- Neurodegenerative disorders -- Cardiovascular disorders -- Immune system and haematology -- Reproduction and development -- Cancer -- Health risk assessment -- Protective measures.
This volume addresses the possible health effects of exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields. It reviews the physical characteristics of ELF fields as well as the sources of exposure and measurement. However, its main objectives are to review the scientific literature on the biological effects of exposure to ELF fields in order to assess any health risks from exposure to these fields and to use this health risk assessment to make recommendations to national authorities on health protection programs. The frequencies under consideration range from above 0Hz to 100kHz.--Publisher's description.
