Abstract
Any review of this topic should include consideration of the development of the field of nonionizing radiation biohazard research in the broader context of the development of the biophysical interdisciplinary sciences. Hence I shall structure my lecture in three parts:
-
1.
The development of Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics.
-
2.
History of the nonionizing radiation field before World War 2.
-
3.
History after World War 2.
