Abstract

[Maxwell’s original prediction for existence of electromagnetic waves was quickly confirmed by experiment. And at once the basic sphere of use of electromagnetic radiation for communication was defined. Development of more and more powerful radar devices led to high morbidity of attendants and personnel. The term “radio wave illness” appeared, stimulating development of a new scientific direction in biology and medicine and demonstrating the need for standards of hygienic safety.]
