Description
Book SynopsisThis book reflects contributions from experts in biological and health effects of Radio Frequency (RF)/Microwave and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) used in wireless communications (WC) and other technological applications. Diverse topics related to physics, biology, pathology, epidemiology, and plausible biophysical and biochemical mechanisms of WC EMFs emitted by antennas and devices are included. Discussions on the possible consequences of fifth generation (5G) mobile telephony (MT) EMFs based on available data and correlation between anthropogenic EMF exposures and various pathological conditions such as infertility, cancer, electro-hypersensitivity, organic and viral diseases, and effects on animals, plants, trees, and environment are included. It further illustrates individual and public health protection and the setting of biologically- and epidemiologically-based exposure limits.

Table of Contents
1: Defining Wireless Communication (WC) Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): A. Polarization is a principal property of all man-made EMFs. B. Modulation, Pulsation, and Variability are inherent parameters of WC EMFs. C. Most man-made EMF-exposures are Non-Thermal. D. Measuring incident EMFs is more relevant than SAR. E. All man-made EMFs emit continuous waves, not photons. F. Differences from natural EMFs. Interaction with matter. 2: Public Health implications of exposure to Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields. 3: Oxidative Stress induced by Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields. 4: Genotoxic Effects of Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields. 5: DNA and Chromosome Damage in human and animal cells, induced by Mobile Telephony EMFs and other stressors. 6: The impacts of Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields on human reproductive biology. 7: Effects of Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields on human and animal brain activity. 8: Electrohypersensitivity as a worldwide man-made electromagnetic pathology: a review of the medical evidence. 9: Carcinogenic effects of non-thermal exposure to Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields. 10: Effects of man-made and especially Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields on Wild Life. 11: Mechanism of Ion Forced-Oscillation and Voltage-Gated Ion Channel Dysfunction by Polarized and Coherent Electromagnetic Fields. 12: Electromagnetic Field-induced dysfunction of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels, Oxidative Stress, DNA damage and related pathologies
