Bioelectromagnetic Effects of EMP: Preliminary Findings
Abstract
This document will describe and discuss available biologic data derived from experiments specifically utilizing EMP simulations to provide exposures; these studies comprise the bulk of Appendix A, a literature review. In addition some literature is reviewed that reports biologic studies using electromagnetic field exposures with characteristics different from EMP simulators. These latter studies were carefully selected for inclusion in this report because the exposures studied were believed to be applicable to EMP. A wide variety of exposure regimens are yet unexplored for possible application in the EMP data base. This discussion will address both public health concerns and potential issues arising from occupational exposures. Recommendations will be provided highlighting future research needed to more fully address the potential health effects related to electromagnetic fields associated with the operation of EMP simulators.
