This book offers essence of the most recent research results presented in a way readable by wide range of audience, and also warns of the costs and impacts of ignoring these possible hazards on the public health and environment. Practical steps to reduce exposure to these radiations are given. Moreover, the book describes unusual but very useful applications of electromagnetic fields which cover a wide range of disciplines, like medicine, agriculture, industry, seismology, engineering, mining, and environmental technology.
