Notas del Editor

Applied Bioelectricity discusses biological responses to electric currents and electromagnetic fields, including medical applications and shock hazards. This work has been adapted from Electrical Stimulation and Electropathology (1992). 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.
