static-fields-cancer-FAQ/toc.html

This is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) derived from an FAQ of the same name that was developed in the sci.med.physics newsgroup of USENET. This FAQ reviews the laboratory and epidemiological evidence relevant to the issue of whether static (direct current, DC) magnetic or electric fields cause or contribute to cancer (or any other health problems) in humans. The responses are referenced to a huge biblography.


Gallery of Electromagnetic Personalities:
A Vignette History of Electromagnetics

By L.S. Taylor, Electrical Engineering Dept., University of Maryland.
