Many particles in the human body interact with electromagnetic fields at a very high frequency, such

as radio waves or low frequency bands. Stronger fields will generate more heat. This can lead to
biological consequences ranging from muscle relaxation (produced by diathermy devices) to burns.
[10] Many countries and regulatory bodies such as the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection have established safety standards to prevent EMF exposure at non-thermal
levels. This can be defined as heating only to the extent that the maximum temperature can be
spread, or as an increase in temperature that is not detected by the current equipment as 0.1 ° C.
These are not thermal to reveal; Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain them, [11] and
there may be multiple mechanisms leading to the observed differences.

Many different behavioral and dynamic effects have been reported after exposure to magnetic fields,
particularly in pulsed magnetic fields. The specific pulse type used appears to be important for the
observed behavioral effects; for example, a pulsed magnetic field designed for spectroscopic MRI,
called low-frequency magnetic stimulation, has been shown to temporarily improve patient-reported
mood in bipolar patients, [12] while other brain MRI has no effect. Whole body exposure to pulsed
magnetic fields impairs vertical balance and pain perception in other studies.[13][14]

A strong alternating magnetic field can cause electrical currents in conductive tissues such as the
brain. Since the magnetic field penetrates the body, it can be created outside the head to stimulate
the water inside, resulting in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). These currents remove neurons
from selected areas of the brain, leading to changes in neuronal activity patterns.[15] In repeated
pulse TMS or rTMS therapy, the presence of incompatible EEG electrodes can lead to electrode
heating and, in severe cases, skin burns.[16]. Many scientists and doctors are trying to replace
electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with TMS to treat conditions such as severe depression and
hallucinations. Instead of a single strong electrical pulse through the head as in ECT, a large number of
weak pulses are delivered in TMS therapy, usually around 10 pulses per second. If strong impulses are
delivered at high speeds to the brain, the resulting fluid can cause seizures as in early
electroconvulsive therapy.[17][18] Sometimes this is done intentionally to treat depression, as in ECT.
Effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health
Although the health effects of very low electric (ELF) and magnetic fields (0 - 300 Hz) from power lines
and radio / microwave (RF) frequencies (10 MHz - 300 GHz) [19] [20] from radio antenna. and the
wireless network has been well studied, the intermediate (IR) range (300 Hz to 10 MHz) has not been
well studied. The direct effect of low-frequency radio-frequency electromagnetism on human health
is difficult to prove and the life-threatening effects of radio-frequency radiation are limited to high-
level sources that can cause significant thermal effects [21] in medical devices like that. such as
accelerators and other electronic devices.[22] However, many studies have been conducted using
electromagnetic fields to investigate their effects on cell metabolism, apoptosis, and tumor growth.
[23]

Medium frequency electric current has found its way into modern medical systems for the treatment
of osteoporosis and muscle stimulation and regeneration. It is also recommended as a cancer
treatment in the form of tumor therapy, using alternating current at a frequency of 100 to 300 kHz.
Since some of these methods include a magnetic field that invokes electricity in living tissue and
others only include electricity, they emphasize electrotherapies regardless of their method of
application and modern electronics have included them in the field of bioelectromagnetics.
