Environmental pollution and health : an interdisciplinary study of the bioeffects of electromagnetic fields

Abstract

As levels of environmental pollution continue to rise, we are confronted by an important question: how does our degraded environment affect our health? This is no easy question to answer: conflicting results of scientific studies and the fact that environmental change is occurring at an unprecedented rate make it very difficult to correlate suspected environmental causes and probable biological effects. This paper attempts to explore the relationship between today’s polluted environment and human health by applying holistic, interdisciplinary and Eastern philosophical perspectives to a comprehensive study of the possible bioeffects of electromagnetic fields.
