Electromagnetic background and its role in environmental protection and human ecology

  • Fundamental Problems of Radiowave Propagation in Inhomogeneous Media and Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation with Matter
  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The notion that the electromagnetic background has an effect on the environment is used as a framework for examining the main focus and results of experimental and model studies of the background of radio-frequency (0.1 Hz–30 MHz) radiation from cosmic and earth-bound sources (including anthropogenic sources). The role of the electromagnetic background in environmental protection and human ecology is determined.
