| Abstract |
Translation of: Rischi e danni derivanti da esposizione professionale a campi elettromagnetici ad alta frequenza. Securitas, Roma, Italy, Jan.-Feb. 1976, Vol. 61, No.1-2, 30 ref. Commenting that knowledge of the pathological effects of short and ultrashort electromagnetic waves is still inadequate, the author analyses a number of articles from the literature (mainly Soviet) on the subject, and describes his own studies of 2 groups of workers (5 in one group, 26 in the other) exposed to electromagnetic fields from high-frequency wood gluing equipment. The results he obtained show conclusively the effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields on the genital organs, and would seem to confirm the findings of other authors on their effects on the central nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. |
