Electromagnetic Radiation and the Human Body (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing)

Electricity is now everywhere in human society, but, the effects of its related energy on the human body are not yet fully known. This book explains the known phenomena and proposes some theories for other possible effects. It explores the fundamental interaction mechanisms between electromagnetic (EM) radiation and biological organisms, then addresses phenomena related to the interaction of EM waves on the human body, including those of power transmission lines, mobile phones, and radio, TV, and radar transmitters. The authors also examine the use of non-ionizing EM radiation to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic devices for clinical practice.
