| Contents Notes | Introduction -- Exposure and physical interactions -- Cellular and molecular effects -- Animal and tissue effects -- Epidemiology -- Risk assessment -- Research needs and research agenda -- Appendix A: Tables -- Appendix B: Exposure assessment in residential studies. This volume assesses the data and draws conclusions about the consequences of human exposure to EMF. The committee examines what is known about three kinds of health effects associated with EMF; cancer; primarily childhood leukemia; reproduction and development; and neurobiological effects. It provides a detailed discussion of hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization for each.--[book cover]. |
