There are several proposed mechanisms for the interaction of EMF fields with living systems. They can be grouped into induced fields and currents (a process called coupling), which varies greatly with frequency Induced Fields and Currents Thermal Noise

Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields can cause the generation of electric currents in the human body, Radio frequency radiation (RFR) can lead to heating up of the body. The higher the frequency, the less deep the penetration of energy into the body, and the more superficial the heating effect is.
