Environmental Electromagnetic Compatibility

The presence of artificially generated electromagnetic fields has dramatically increased in the last few decades. In particular, there has been an enormous growth of radio base stations and cell phone users, which have led to an increase in public concern about the potential risks to human health. This book aims to present the latest scientific contributions to the increasingly controversial debates over the possible influence of electromagnetic radiation on the environment. Containing proceedings from the First International Conference on Environmental Electromagnetic Compatibility, this book will be of interest not only to researchers, such as electrical engineers, physicists, biologists and medical scientists, but also to representatives of industry, government and other organizations.The contributions are divided under the following broad subject headings: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Sources; Bio-electromagnetics; Safety Standards and Protection Measures; Computational Models in Environmental Electromagnetic Compatibility (EEMC); Measurement and Testing Techniques; Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in Medical Equipment; Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields; Optimization Techniques; and, Electromagnetic-Thermal Modelling of the Human Body and Biomedicine Applications.
