PrefaceThe
aim of this report was to produce an independent
critical review
of the recent literature on the possible biological and health
effects of low-intensity, high-frequency electromagnetic fields, from
the viewpoint of the region's scientists and experts. Examples of
these electromagnetic fields, which are called radiofrequency (RF)
fields, are those used for radio and TV communication, mobile voice
and data communication and wireless data networks. Special emphasis
was to be placed on the results of studies conducted in Latin
American countries. International and national exposure limits,
policies and standards are also examined in this respect.
