A Comprehensive Review of the Research on Biological Effects of Pulsed Radiofrequency Radiation in Russia and the Former Soviet Union

Abstract

Pulsed radiofrequency (RF) radiation nowadays is among the most ubiquitous of environmental factors. Biological effects and health hazards of pulsed RF have been studied for decades, but there is still little consensus on whether the safety of pulsed RF should be given any special consideration compared to continuous wave (CW) emissions. While it is well known that pulsed fields can produce effects principally different from those of CW (e.g., an auditory effect, see Lin, 1990), potential implications of such effects for human safety and wellbeing continue to be debated.
