Abstract

Overview

Electromagnetic signals from everyday wireless technologies present as an environmental stressor impacting biological systems. This study uses evidence from the ORSAA database to discuss the biological and health ramifications of electromagnetic fields and radiation.

Findings

  • Analysis of experimental and epidemiological data reveals that two-thirds of the studies show significant biological effects caused by electromagnetic exposures.
  • Detrimental effects include protein damage, biochemical changes, and oxidative stress among other fundamental biological processes.
  • Data indicates a higher occurrence of "Effect" outcomes in studies using real-world signals as opposed to simulated ones.

Conclusion

Substantial evidence suggests significant stress to human biological systems from exposure to everyday wireless communication devices. Given these findings, there is a pressing need to update medical education and clinical practices to integrate knowledge of these risks and safe technology use in healthcare settings.
