13.1 INTRODUCTION

As the biological effects of nonionizing radiation (NIR) can also be recorded at intensities much

less than their thermal threshold (Devyatkov, 1973; Adey, 1981; Markov, 2004; Kaczmarek, 2006;

Rehman et al., 2007; Gapeyev et al., 2009; Grigoryev, 2012), these effects cannot be explained by

hypothesis from the point of the classical thermodynamic characteristics of NIR (Foster, 2006;

Binhi and Rubin, 2007). Because of ...
