Beschreibung
Electric currents and electromagnetic fields have been applied to biological systems, particularly humans, with both therapeutic and pathological results. Applied Bioelectricity discusses biological responses to electric currents and electromagnetic fields, including medical applications and shock hazards. The book covers fundamental physical and engineering principles of responses to short-term electrical exposure and emphasizes human reactions, although animal responses to electricity are considered as well. The treatment covers reactions from the just-detectable to the clearly detrimental. An important new chapter discusses standards for human exposure to electromagnetic fields and electric current and demonstrates how these standards have been developed based on the principles treated in earlier chapters. J. Patrick Reilly is a member of the principal staff of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and is President of Metatec Associates.
Unique in its treatment of the short-term biological responses to electric currents and fields Contains a chapter on developing standards for human exposure to electrical fields and currents
Exposure to electrical currents and electromagnetic fields is important in medicine and engineering. This book is unique in its treatment of the short-term biological responses to electric currents and fields. It contains an important chapter on developing standards for human exposure to electrical fields and currents. The book will be of interest to professionals involved in regulation and safety of electrical devices, designers and users of biomedical devices, researchers in electrical stimulation and shock, and legal professionals involved in electrical safety.
