We propose a microscopic approach describing the interaction of an ideal gas of hydrogenlike atoms with a weak electromagnetic field. This approach is based on the Green-function formalism and an approximate formulation of the method of second quantization for quantum many-particle systems in the presence of bound states of particles. The dependencies of the propagation velocity and damping rate of electromagnetic pulses on the microscopic characteristics of the system are studied for a gas of hydrogenlike atoms. For a Bose-Einstein condensate of alkali-metal atoms we find the conditions when the electromagnetic waves of both the optical and microwave regions are slowed. In the framework of the proposed approach, the influence of an external homogeneous and static magnetic field on the slowing phenomenon is studied.
