Overview
Presents a timely, multifaceted examination of electromagnetic fields, including the physical characteristics of environmental electromagnetic fields, intrinsic biological fields, health-related risks, therapeutic applications, and transduction mechanisms. Examines the signal-to-noise problem of biological effects due to low-intensity electromagnetic fields. Describes the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of interaction of electromagnetic fields with cells. Proposes a mechanistic chain of causality which links the physical transduction to cellular processes.

Expanded from a series of tutorial lectures for a spring 1992 symposium in Denver, surveys a wide range of factors relating to the controversial impact of the low-energy, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields that fill the modern world on living organisms and tissues. The 26 papers look at the physical and biological fundamentals, sources and doses, health risks and benefits, and what is known so far about the biophysical and biochemical mechanisms of interaction.
