Abstract :
The use of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of terahertz range at molecular spectrum of nitride oxide radiation and absorption (150, 176-150, 664 GHz) for combined treatment of localized burns is studied for the first time. Some results of electromagnetic radiation effect on wound process are discussed. The possibility of terahertz (THz) waves use in combustiology is substantiated.
