Non-Thermal Effects and Mechanisms between EMFs and Living Matter

November 5, 2010.  An important collection of scientific research papers was just published in the European Journal of Oncology as a special ICEMS Monograph entitled “Non-thermal Effects and Mechanisms between Electromagnetic Fields and Living Matter.”

This volume is a must read for all federal agency scientists involved in establishing policy for non-ionizing electromagnetic exposure.

The book has four sections as follows:

Section A:  Biophysical Mechanisms (5 papers)
Section B:  Cellular Mechanisms and Tissue Effects (7 papers)
Section C:  In Vivo Effects (8 papers)
Section D:  Epidemiology (4 papers)
