Studies have been continued to collect evidences to assess health hazards of electromagnetic fields. In spite of the long history of these researches there are still uncertainties in possible biological effect of long-term low level exposures. New approaches for breakthrough have been awaited to obtain scientific evidences for or against those possible effects. The researches have been focused on frequencies and waveforms used for wireless communications such as mobile phones. New technologies other than those are now emerging. They use different frequencies and waveforms. The possible health effects should also be explored. On the other hand beneficial use of the effect of electromagnetic fields has become of more concern for the development of novel applications in biotechnology and medicine. This session call for papers on recent development of experimental studies as well as epidemiological studies on biological effects of electromagnetic fields of various approaches.
