bioelectromagnetics

Bioelectromagnetics is the study of how electromagnetic fields (EMFs) interact with biological systems. It explores how natural and man-made EMFs, like those from power lines or cell phones, affect living organisms, including their cells and overall health. Researchers investigate both the potential benefits, such as healing effects in medical therapies, and the risks, such as possible harmful effects from prolonged exposure. The field combines elements of physics, biology, and medicine to understand these interactions and their implications for human health and the environment.

    Bioelectromagnetics is the study of how electromagnetic fields, such as those from cell phones, power lines, and other sources, interact with living organisms. This field examines both the potential effects of these fields on health and how biological systems use electric and magnetic signals for processes like nerve function and cell communication. Researchers explore whether exposure to these electromagnetic fields can lead to health issues, as well as the fundamental ways living organisms generate their own electromagnetic signals to regulate bodily functions. Understanding these interactions helps inform safety standards and technology use.
