SynopsisThe book determines that risks of EMF exposure are small compared to the already existing incidence of cancer in the population. Five international studies completed since 1992 are excerpted and summarized. The concensus of these reviews appears to be a general skepticism regarding the relationship of EMFs to human health effects, particularly cancer. br This treatise on electromagnetic fields (EMF) attempts to unravel the complex problem of how these fields affect humans and animals, a challenge which has recently come under intense public scrutiny. This book provides the reader with the knowledge to make an informed, rational decision about the possible dangers inherent in our everyday contact with electric power.
