Studies about the potential eff ects of the electromagnetic fi eld on the human body are increasing day by day. In this study; new investigations on this fi eld were tried to be explained by the help of literature. It is shown in many studies that electromagnetic waves as well as the electromagnetic field that is given out by some of the equipment we use, create negative eff ects on biological systems of humans. Moreover; it had concluded that there are roles of molecular pathways such as oxidative stress on electromagnetic fi eld induced diseases. Th ese eff ects are the short term eff ects and long term eff ects. Preventitive measures should be high priority and risks should be minimized.

The concept underlying the use of X-rays in scientific treatments is called radiation scattering, which incorporates the scattering of photons, neurons, or both. When carried out in scientific procedures, X-rays interact with the virtual shells of atoms in solids with the useful resource of the usage of scattering, depending on the X-form rays and the radiation period. Soaking up and emitting electrons. Nuclei are incredibly heavy a very good manner to be detected with the useful resource of the usage of X-ray. Bragged that there have been conditions for a sharp pinnacle in scattered radiation intensity. Placing a patient's body thing with inside the front of an X-ray technician, who then lighting it with short bursts of radiation to make an image for scientific use X-ray the only versions amongst X-rays and ordinary moderate are their multiplied electricity and comparable wave. X-rays are applied in medicine for scientific analysis. Dentists use them to discover complications, cavities and impacted tooth. Soft body tissues are apparent to the waves. Bones and tooth block the rays and show up as white on the black background. We find out the use of x-ray as a treatment is referred to as radiation treatment and in big component used for the management (which incorporates palliation) of cancer. It requires higher radiation energies than for imaging a lone.

Introduction: Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has been successfully employed in modern medicine for many years. The medical community, however, often lacks in-depth knowledge concerning different types of radiation, their mechanisms of action and clinical applications. Aim: Our review offers a comprehensive overview of the biological action of ionizing radiation (IR) and non-ionizing radiation (NIR) and their applications in modern medicine. Chronic exposure to a high frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) as a potential public health risk is also discussed. Materials and methods: Current literature on IR and NIR has been reviewed and grouped thematically. Results and discussion: Biological effects of EMR depend on its physical properties. IR is a potentially lethal stream of high energy particles. NIR carries less energy. EMR can damage DNA directly or indirectly via reactive oxygen/nitrogen species. It has been, however, successfully used in oncology (radiotherapy), physiotherapy (microwaves), rheumatology and endocrinology. Effective communication and data transmission are possible thanks to radio-, micro-and infrared waves. Cybernetics and modern forms of communication have been instrumental in the development of telerehabilitation and telemedicine. Evidence for the detrimental effects of cell phones, the most common source of EMR, on the developing central nervous system is scarce, but concerns have been raised about their carcinogenicity. Conclusions: Modern medicine cannot function without IR and NIR. However, their potentially undesirable biological side effects need to be taken into account.

Electromagnetic pollution of the environment has become a significant environmental factor. The intensity of technogenical electromagnetic fields far exceeds the background indicators to which organisms have adapted in the course of evolution, in particular by their biorhythms. Much data on the biological effects of low-intensity (non-thermal) electromagnetic extremely high frequency fields (EHF- EMF) at different levels of the organization has been accumulated. There are many possible explanations for these impacts, but the mechanism of action is not established. The purpose of this work is to analyze the negative effects of the use of non-thermal coherent electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequencies. In particular, the use of microwave therapy is considered. A review of reports on the harmful effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic and magnetic fields among the population and professional groups has been made; the presence of the problem of hypersensitivity to such fields is shown. Information on the development of the direction of study of the resonant biological influence of EHF- EMF by Ukrainian specialists is given. Particular attention is paid to the use of non-thermal microwaves for physiotherapy procedures, pain relief, correction of psycho-emotional disorders, ulcer healing, in particular stomach and duodenum, etc. It is noted that the so-called "therapeutic" frequencies of EHF-EMF, even if controlled, can cause negative effects, although they are not perceived as damaging. Changes in objective vital signs in the case of targeted exposure by low-intensity millimeter-wave radiation, namely, hemodynamics, temperature increase in the exposure zone, muscle activity and the speed of the passage of a nerve impulse, an encephalogram were established. Precautionary recommendations on the basis of scientific and practical experience of using microwave acupuncture methods in the conditions of medical institutions are formulated. The synergistic effect of various influences, in particular electromagnetic fields, may not be a direct trigger of the disease, but a factor of not compensated stress. Therefore, clinical studies conducted many years ago cannot simply be dismissed on the grounds that the millimeter radiation penetrates only the outer layer of the skin. Skin cells can also secrete mediators that cause changes in ionic calcium channels and the level of calcium in the cells. The interest in these works is justified by the fact that currently the sources of monochromatic millimeter radiation will be spread with new communication systems. The risks of their biological action should be taken into account when emitters are installed.

The topic of electromagnetic fields in the Earth´s biosphere is now especially important in connection with massive contribution of artificial sources of electromagnetic radiation. From an ethical point of view, it is important that information on the impact of electromagnetic fields on the human health have to be based on scientifically proven facts. The aim of medical higher education is to provide students with specific professional competences in the informed use of electromagnetic fields in medical diagnostic and therapeutic devices with minimal risk to the health-care professionals and patients.

Its level considerably exceeds the level of natural electromagnetic background. Every ten years world energy resources are doubled and within this period specific gravity of electromagnetic field variables in power industry has thrice increased. Electromagnetic radiation sources, which include overhead high voltage and extra high voltage transmission lines, radio broadcasting, TV, radio relay and satellite communication equipment, radar and navigation systems, laser beacons and etc. have significantly influenced the natural electromagnetic background.
