Abstract
|
|
|
|
Numerous physical agents may impart energy in harmful form to body tissues or may create an injurious environment so that, under proper circumstances, some are capable, directly or indirectly, of damaging the various kinds of body tissue including cardiovascular structures as environmental disorders. However, it is impossible to consider all the disorders encompassed within even our limited interpretation of the term environmental pathology. Here our consideration is restricted to the legally significant causes of heart disorder. : The physical agents most commonly alleged as possibly injurious to the heart are 1) ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave radiation, 2) the ionizing radiation, 3) abnormal temperature and humidity, 4) abnormal barometric pressures, 5) vibrations, unpleasant sounds and noises, and 6) electric currents.
