Electromagnetic Radiations: Harmful or Beneficial?

Abstract

Nowadays there is a ‘boom’ in the study of medical applications of the low frequency electromagnetic radiation. A great deal of reviews and papers are published, in support and against it. Most of these articles are not devoted to biological studies of the effects on tissues, but to statistical studies carried out on persons, with the a priori assumption that the treatment will be always innocuous or favorable. On the contrary, others blame the radiation coming from high-tension lines and electrodomestic equipment as the cause of all type of harmful effects. ¿Who is right?
