Generally, all types of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are suspected to harm human health. A substantial number of epidemiological studies have addressed possible effects on human health. Nevertheless, there is an ongoing public and scientific controversy about possible health effects. Epidemiology of Electromagnetic Fields gives an overview of epidemiological methods that have been used for EMF research. The first part of the book introduces epidemiological concepts and principles, providing appropriate examples and tips for practical usage. The second part details the state of scientific knowledge for some controversial issues in EMF research, while the third part considers how novelty, the steep increase of radiofrequency (RF) EMF exposure from the use of wireless communication techniques, and other challenges affect risk assessment today.
