5. Interactions of electromagnetic fields with biological tissues and health risks
5.1 Health effects of electromagnetic fields and waves
Judging by the large number of scientific publications, television programs and press articles devoted to the subject, it's an ongoing concern that's not about to go away. This concern has been heightened by the constant increase in the population concerned:
on the one hand, in the home, with high-voltage power lines, microwave ovens, induction hobs and, above all, cell phones;
secondly, in the professional sector, with induction and dielectric welding and heating systems, computer displays, telecommunications, radar...
In the case of high exposures, well above the recommended exposure limit values, partial or generalized...
