Inhaltsangabe

This book is an educational resource of evolving scientific knowledge in the area of bioelectromagnetics that may serve the interests of students and decision-makers, as well as society as a whole. It is distinguished by extensive descriptions of fundamental biophysical concepts and their relevance to human health. Reflecting the transdisciplinary approach from several different intellectual streams including physics, biology, epidemiology, medicine, environment, risk science, and engineering, the book is quite a venture into the battling studies to assess the latest research on health effects and biomedical applications of EM energy. This new edition of the book particularly looks at the potential threats from the emerging 5G wireless networks, which will deploy large numbers of low-powered smartphones, notebooks, tablets, radio access networks, and other transmitters.

Features

• Introduces necessary biophysical principles of EM fields in the context of their interaction with living systems.
• Strengthens understanding of cutting-edge research on several major areas in the broad area of bioelectromagnetics.
• Presents safety standards and guidelines for human exposure to EM fields.
• Discusses techniques that have been developed to ensure adequate EM-thermal dosimetry required for both health effects and biomedical applications.
• Provides insight into the determinants of EM health risk assessment and public concerns.
• Includes extensive reference list at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.
