Abstract
The static, low-frequency and radiofrequency parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are used in various areas of human activity. Equipment utilizing this energy today is to be found in industry, medicine, commerce and private homes. The author provides a short survey of the biological effects and concentrates on the principal experimental and theoretical bases which allow the assessment of data on potential hazards to human health resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields.Keywords
