Summary

The document provides information on the physical aspects of electromagnetic fields and radiowaves in the frequency range of 100 kHz to 300 GHz, which has been arbitrarily subdivided according to the traditional approach into microwaves (300 MHz to 300 GHz) and radiofrequency (100 kHz to 300 MHz). A brief survey of man-made sources and a summary of knowledge on biological effects and health aspects are included. The document may provide useful information for the development of national protection measures against non-ionizing radiation.
