Abstract

The concise analysis of the data on the possible unfavourable action of electromagnetic fields on human health is presented. Special emphasis is laid on the hygienic estimation of electromagnetic radiation levels at the work places of the physiotherapy room medical staff as the possible health risk factor of occupational exposure.
