Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is a branch of science studying the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the treatment of various conditions.
==History== ===Western=== From WW2 until around the 1980's the study of non-ionizing radiation in biological systems was considered a subset of radiobiology, or simply referred to as "effects" or "bioeffects" of a particular frequency band. The term "bioelectromagnetics" was coined by Thomas C. Rozzell of the Office of Naval Research.
