Radiation of high frequency electromagnetic fields biological effects and health consequences

Abstract

The sources of radio frequency radiation (radio and TV transmitters, radars, microwave ovens, portable radio transciever equipment) are presented first. The absorption factors of radio frequency and microwave emissions by human body are also presented. The basic structure and operating principles of GSM equipment (mobile stations, system of basic stations, network and communication systems) are given. The interaction between mobile phone and human tissue, i.e. absorption of radio frequency energy emitted by mobile phone is described. Advices for safer usage of mobile phones are given.
