Abstract Interest in the biological and medical effects of radiowaves, "shortwaves" and microwaves began to develop during the 1930's. The history of this field will be reviewed. Highly productive research approaches will be indicated. Purely experimental approaches lacking a scientific rationale have been less useful. Implications for future research efforts are fairly obvious. A rationale for standards of safe exposure can be formulated now.
