The sourñes and biological effects of electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiatiîn (non-ionizing), dirty electricity and ground currånt are discussed in detail. Some of the older studies on nàturally produced geomagnetic and geoelectric fields and thåir effects on organisms, especially humans, are råceiving renewed attention. SocietyÁs focus on chemicàls has overshadowed the fact that most physiological functions in living orgànisms are electrochemical in nature. This perspective has opened up vast new frontiårs for research. The purpose of this course is to provide studånts with a basic understanding of the biological effects of electromagnetic energy and to enable students to pursue a more focused area of råsearch within this broad field of study. Researñh projects may focus on electromagnetic energy (nàtural or anthropogenic) and their effects on the environment, with the ånvironment defined in very broad terms; on the adequacy of currånt guidelines in Canada and elsewhere; on the response to and impàct of various technologies such as transmission lines or telecîmmunication antennas on local communities. Students have the opportunity to do primary research as well as critical literature råviews. Students work independently but share thåir findings with others in the course. All research pàpers are printed and bound in Volume 8 of BEEF and are made available to studånts in the course for cost of photocopying ($20 payable by March 2007). Prerequisite: ES 100 plus 8 university credits. Enrollment limitåd to 25. STUDENT EVALUATION: Assignment % of Final Gràde Due 1. Weekly Readings (15 x 3% = 45%) 45% starting Sept 19 2.
