Description
Recent concerns over the possible hazards of electrical and magnetic fields in the home and workplace are comprehensively addressed within
this book. The chapters contain detailed research on the biological effects of electric and magnetic fields, and evidence for and against
any interaction of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and the biological systems.
