Abstract:
The paper contains a review of papers on the effect of external electromagnetic fields upon the human organism. Possible mechanisms of such influence are explained on the basis of interaction between external electromagnetic field and human biofield. The attention is accented on the characteristics of the fields which are created by a human body. In particular, the following characteristics are considered: biomagnetism of man’s organs and the effect of exposure to the weak low-frequency and permanent magnetic fields, as well as the bioelectret phenomenon whose main feature is generation of the quasi-constant electric field that influences both on biochemical and structural processes in the cells. Some examples of simulating biophysical properties of the living tissues using synthetic polymer materials employed in medical appliances are presented.
