Electromagnetic Radiations: Exposure, and Impact

The book delivers an understanding of emission theory and its effects on different strata of life. It contains seven chapters including probable remedial measures and solutions to increase reduced radiation life expectancy. The text explains important topics such as the compatibility of the human body and wireless communication, applications and effectiveness of radiating power, energy harvesting, green energy solutions, and the human nervous system.

This book:

• Discusses topics related to radiation and electromagnetic emissions, including their sources, effects, and ways to reduce exposure.
• Covers various aspects of the impact of electromagnetic fields on health and the environment, including measurement and modeling techniques, exposure assessment, and health effects.
• Explains electromagnetic emissions and their applications, as well as the impact of radiation on living organisms, including flora, fauna, and human beings.
• Provides a detailed analysis of the effects of radiation on animal and plant life.
• Highlights the potential benefits of electromagnetic emissions and provides information on how to mitigate the negative effects of radiation.

It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields including electrical engineering, electronics, communications engineering, and physics.
