Abstract

Abstract

Overview: Environmental electromagnetic fields are omnipresent and universally affect the population. Primarily, radiofrequency wireless communication systems are the key sources, exposing both the public and workers.

Findings: Exposure to these fields is not just prevalent but also potentially deleterious, affecting living tissues directly which could lead to biological problems or personal symptoms, and indirectly which might impair healthcare appliances. The aims of this study are to systematically analyze, examine, and categorize the non-lethal yet impactful effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields from radiofrequency devices.

The thorough evaluation covers living tissue impacts and unusual personal symptoms resulting from both short and long-term exposure. The assessment methodologies utilized in determining these effects are rigorously discussed, offering insights into the mechanisms of investigation specific to this discipline.

  • Analysis of consequences related to exposure to electromagnetic fields emanating from wireless digital communication tools.
  • Review of categorization methodologies for sources of exposure and their effects.
  • Discussion on the relevance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in assessing these effects.

Conclusion: The comprehensive evaluation methods highlighted in this study underline the potential health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields, insisting on the necessity for continued and detailed research in the effects and mechanisms of radiofrequency transmissions on health.
