Proceedings of the Scientific Workshop on the Health Effects of Electric and Magnetic Fields on Workers


Book Description

Leading scientists discuss the relevant aspects of a research agenda and prevention strategies on the health effects of EMF. Clarifies what is known and identifies what is not known so as to plan a research agenda that will fill gaps in current knowledge. Charts and graphs. Glossary.










Electric and Magnetic Fields


Book Description

Identifies research needed to reduce uncertainties in the risk assessment of EMF and to prioritize categories of these research needs. Evaluates research needs in: animal and human studies; investigation of biophysical mechanisms; improved assessment of human exposure to EMF; and identification and evaluation of mitigation options to prevent and reduce human exposure to EMF. Bibliography.

EMF Book


Book Description

Electromagnetic fields and radiation are everywhere - near power lines, computers, radio and television signals, microwave ovens, toasters, alarm clocks and everyday electrical appliances. The media are warning of the possible hazards of EMFs and EMR and recent studies suggest that they cause leukaemia in children and breast and brain cancer in adults. This book gives facts about the dangers, revealing that most of us are exposed to radiation and electromagnetic fields everyday. It advises which levels to worry about, and how to minimize the risks. It is also a sourcebook for citizens seeking action from utility companies, employers, manufacturers and governmental agencies.




Biological Effects of Electric and Magnetic Fields


Book 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 biological systems. The relative risk of exposure to EMFs Putative behavioral and neural effects of EMFs EMF effects on cells




Environmental Epidemiology


Book Description

Published in 1996: Environmental Epidemiology: Exposure and Disease is a unique resource identifying priorities for public health research in selected areas of environmental epidemiology. Drawn from the proceedings of an international workshop on this topic, the book is a compilation of the specialized knowledge and opinions of environmental epidemiology experts. Organized by the Rome division of the World Health Organization (WHO) European Centre for Environment and Health, the goal of the 1993 workshop, Setting Priorities in Environmental Epidemiology, was to establish a consensus among the experts in the selected areas. The chapters in Environmental Epidemiology: Exposure and Disease cover environmental epidemiology from three different viewpoints: environmental exposures, major disease groups related to the environment, and epidemiological methodology. The environmental exposure categories examined for prioritizing are air contaminants, water contaminants, and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation exposure from human-caused disasters. .
