Description

This comprehensive research analysis focuses into the possible health risks of radio wave radiation, a non-ionizing ra- diation type, on humans. The research consists of data from an array of research, focusing on the influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF- EMF), which are constantly released by appliances and electronics. The analyzed research from re- viewed literature indicate that most significant effect of RF-EMF exposure of some delicate tissues and organs is the thermal ef- fect, which causes a temperature rise of tissues andpotentially cellular damage. Even though the evidence is inconclusive some studies suggest a potential link between RF-EMF exposure and cognitive function, memory and attention, therefore further re- search is needed to fully understand the impact of RF-EMFs on human cognitive capacity. These effects increase with extended exposure and closeness to the original source of radiation. The review also emphasizes the increased sensitivity of particular groups, such as young people and those in occupational settings, who might be exposed to RF-EMF more often or at greater dos- es. Despite the rising amount of data, further study is required to completely understand the long-term health effects of RF-EMF exposure. The study highlights the importance of public understanding as well as the implementation of regulatory measures to reduce the possible health concerns related to radio wave radiation exposure. It suggests for a balance between technology inno- vation and health safety, highlighting the importance of ongoing study in this crucial field.

Potential hazardous effects of radio wave radiation as non-ionization radiations on humans: A literature review
