Static Magnetic Fields - 2005

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Volume 87, Issues 2–3, February–April 2005

Effects of Static Magnetic Fields Relevant to Human Health. Proceedings of an International Workshop, NRPB, Chilton, UK, April 26-27, 2004. Noble D, McKinlay AF, Repacholi MH, eds. Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Volume 87, Issues 2–3, February–April 2005.

The proceedings gives an overview of all the lectures delivered at the workshop which was co-sponsored by the World Health Organization, UK National Radiological Protection Board (now PHE) and ICNIRP.
