Abstract :
In order to investigate the biological effects of high frequency electromagnetic (EM) fields as those emitted from mobile telecommunication systems, a mechanistic approach is to develop biophysical models. In this paper the effort of elucidating the modalities of interaction of radiofrequency (RF) EM fields has been focused on the frequency spectrum characterisation of the response of the biological system simulated under exposure conditions. Authors improved the representation of the ionic channels as the core of the previously proposed integrated approach to model electromagnetic fields interaction.
