INFLUENCE OF LONG EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON IMMUNE SYSTEM AND ELUCIDATION OF THE ISSUE OF INFANTILE HEALTH IMPACT

Abstract

Environmental exposure to EMFs has steadily increased throughout this centtuy. Today every one is exposed to a complex mix of EMFs both at home and at work, from the generation and transmission of electricity, high voltage transmission lines, distribution lines, household electric and various electrical appliances.
