DOWNLOAD EBOOKCan the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) to which people are routinely exposed cause health effects? This volume assesses the data and draws conclusions about the consequences of human exposure to EMF. The committee examines what is known about three kinds of health effects associated with EMF: cancer, primarily childhood leukemia; reproduction and development; and neurobiological effects. This book provides a detailed discussion of hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization for each. Possible Health Effects of Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic Fields also discusses the tools available to measure exposure, common types of exposures, and what is known about the effects of exposure. The committee looks at correlations between EMF exposure and carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, neurobehavioral effects, reproductive and developmental effects, effects on melatonin and other neurochemicals, and effects on bone healing and stimulated cell growth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report was prepared by the Office of Technology Assessment of the United States Congress to review the health effects of high-voltage transmission lines. For about two decades, there has been some concern about the health effects of electric and magnetic fields produced by transmission lines. Recent studies have heightened this concern. Health effects research is still preliminary and inconclusive, but a growing number of studies suggest that under certain circumstances even relatively weak electric and magnetic fields can produce biologic changes.This report discusses the present state of knowledge on the health effects of low-frequency electric and magnetic fields and describes current U. S. funding levels and research programs. Also, the report provides information on regulatory activity, including existing and proposed field exposure standards.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBiological and Medical Aspects of Electromagnetic Fields examines potential health hazards, exposure standards, and medical applications of electromagnetic (EM) fields. The second volume in the bestselling and newly revisedHandbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, Third Edition, this book draws from the latest studies on the effects of exposure to electric and magnetic fields. In addition to extensive reviews of physiological effects, the book contains now separate reviews of behavioral and cognitive responses to various exposures. The book also describes an approach to setting standards for exposure limits and explores a few of the beneficial uses of EM fields in medical applications, both diagnostics and in treatment. Biological and Medical Aspects of Electromagnetic Fields provides a practical overview of the experiments and methods used to observe ELF and RF fields and the possible useful and hazardous implications of these observations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKElectric and magnetic fields produced by electric power systems have recently been added to the list of environmental agents that are a potential threat to public health. This paper describes peoples' exposures to fields from power systems and other sources, reviews existing scientific evidence on the biological effects of these fields, presents a history of research support and of regulatory activity, and discusses problems and alternatives in regulatory action.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this book, the authors gather and present current research in the study of the principles, engineering applications and biophysical effects of electromagnetic fields. Topics discussed include the thermodynamics of surface electromagnetic waves; exposure to magnetic fields produced by power lines; microwave heating for metallurgical engineering; the effect of electromagnetic fields exposure on cytokines production; high frequency induction heating for high quality injection moulding; electromagnetic techniques for non-invasive detection of malignancies in biological tissue; the entropy production rate in a cell under electromagnetic field; studies of cerebral activity in humans and in animal models after exposure to modulated radio frequency of mobile phones; electromagnetic induction data sets in archaeology; and single and two-photon interactions of radiators with electromagnetic bath.
