Books Authored

This book is distinguished by extensive descriptions of fundamental physical concepts and principles of EM fields and radiation, and their relevance to human health and therapeutic applications. Reflecting the transdisciplinary approach from several different intellectual streams involving physics, biology, epidemiology, medicine, environment, risk assessment, and various disciplines of engineering, this book is quite a venture into the battling studies to access research on bioeffects and therapeutic applications of EM energy.

This reference explores the sources, characteristics, bioeffects, and health hazards of extremely low-frequency (ELF) fields and radio frequency radiation (RFR), analyzing current research as well as the latest epidemiological studies to assess potential risks associated with exposure and to develop effective safety guidelines.
