Abstract: | Natural and man-made magnetic and electromagnetic fields are important factors in the contemporary life. The paper discusses
the role of environmental magnetic and electromagnetic fields in origin and evolution of life. A brief review of the characteristics
of Earth magnetic field, Earth magnetosphere, and their role as a shield for cosmic radiation follows. The role of endogenous
and exogenous magnetic fields is discussed in respect of the clarification of the potential hazard and benefit of electromagnetic
fields. The second part of the paper discusses the mechanisms of detection and response to exogenous electromagnetic fields,
as well as threshold versus window hypothesis for mechanisms of interactions. Finally, the necessity of accurate dosimetry
at the target site and the importance of relevant research and clinical protocols in studying biological responses are pointed
out. |
