predictions of specific biological effects of exposure to EMFs, neither does the present knowledge
preclude any specific effects. Thus, to learn what would happen when an organism is exposed to a
given EMF under specific conditions, it is necessary to do the experiment. In the succeeding chapters
we describe a large number of such studies.
Throughout the book we use this to denote electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic
radiation when there is no intention to distinguish among them.
