Even though the bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) have been extensively investigated during the past several decades, our understandings of the bioeffects of EMR and the mechanisms of the interactions between the biological systems and the EMRs are still far from satisfactory. In this article, we introduce and summarize the consensus, controversy, limitations, and unsolved issues. The published works have investigated the EMR effects on different biological systems including humans, animals, cells, and biochemical reactions. Alternative methodologies also include dielectric spectroscopy, detection of bioelectromagnetic emissions, and theoretical predictions. In many studies, the thermal effects of the EMR are not properly controlled or considered. The frequency of the EMR investigated is limited to the commonly used bands, particularly the frequencies of the power line and the wireless communications; far fewer studies were performed for other EMR frequencies. In addition, the bioeffects of the complex EM environment were rarely discussed. In summary, our understanding of the bioeffects of the EMR is quite restrictive and further investigations are needed to answer the unsolved questions.
尽管在过去几十年中对电磁辐射（EMR）的生物效应进行了广泛研究，但我们对EMR生物效应以及生物系统与EMR之间相互作用机制的理解仍远不能令人满意。在本文中，我们介绍并总结了共识、争议、局限性和未解决的问题。已发表的研究探讨了EMR对包括人类、动物、细胞和生化反应在内的不同生物系统的影响。替代方法还包括介电谱、生物电磁发射检测和理论预测。在许多研究中，EMR的热效应没有得到适当控制或考虑。所研究的EMR频率仅限于常用频段，特别是电力线和无线通信的频率；对其他EMR频率的研究要少得多。此外，很少讨论复杂电磁环境的生物效应。总之，我们对EMR生物效应的理解相当有限，需要进一步研究来回答未解决的问题。
