Abstract

There is much debate and controversy surrounding the effects of low intensity electromagnetic fields and radiation. A few subtle biological effects have been observed in experiments using animals and volunteers, but there is no convincing evidence to suggest that exposure to the fields commonly encountered in the environment will cause any significant adverse health effect in humans.
