Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences IZMEROV NF. Current problems of nonionizing r-adiation. Scand J Work Environ Health II (1985) 223-227. Electromagnetic radiation in the radiofrequency range is the most common type of nonionizing radiation. The accelerated development in telecommunications and the introduction of power transmission lines, as well as glue drying and plastic heating in the wood and plastic industries, cause both occupational and nonoccupational

... c exposureto electromagnetic radiation in the radiofrequency range. For the hygienic rating of radiowave exposure it is necessary to use biological models to evaluate, in depth, the mechanisms and effects of electromagnetic radiation. The ultra-and superhigh frequency rangeis the most activein causingbiological responses. The high frequency rangeis lessactive. Physical characteristics (continuous and impulse) and the combined effect of the electromagnetic field with other factors, eg, elevated air temperature, etc, have an effect on biological responses.
