The Positive Benefits of Extremely Low, Pulsating, Electromagnetic Fields for All Life on Earth PULSE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY: CLINICALLY PROVEN FOR OVER 20 YEARS TO HELP. ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EFFECT ON LIVING ORGANISMS

In the paper first the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation to human beings are pointed out. The sources of electromagnetic energy encountered in occupational and general public environment are revealed and the thermal and nonthermal influences of their electromagnetic fields are briefly discussed. A survey of exposure limits adopted in different national and international standards and recommendations is given. A beneficial application of pulsating magnetic fields of extremely low frequencies is presented at the end. Introduction Facing a vast amount of devices that radiate electromagnetic waves in our environment, we are often wondering whether they have harmful effects to our health. The public awareness over this issue has been increasing in recent decades, while for a long time there had been little concern shown in this area even in the professional community. The interest has grown along with the multitude of man made electromagnetic fields. The overflow of electromagnetic fields and radioand microwave beams that nowadays surround the earth can be clearly illustrated by the following analogy: “If the electromagnetic radiation would be visible, today an observer from space would see the earth shining while at the beginning of the century the globe would be completely dark.” Quite often the allegation of electromagnetic pollution of the environment is encountered. It is therefore not surprising that the questions have arisen concerning the potential health hazard from inevitable radiation produced by a number of devices in occupational and general public use beginning with HF-generators, through HV lines and radar transmitters, as well as radio-receivers, TV-sets and domestic appliances.
