| Abstract: | The penetration of RF and microwave electromagnetic fields into human body and its possible consequences are studied. Earlier observations are theoretically verified which show that the radiation from high power transmission tower is more harmful to the people living nearby as compared to that from the low power transmission tower. Absorption of electric component of electromagnetic radiation falling on the body, which increases with frequency, may result into temperature rise in the body. However, the magnetic induction, being very weak in comparison to the earth's magnetic field, is expected to have no effect on the human body. |
