Abstract

Overview

With the advent of the electronic information age over the past three decades, technologies driven by electromagnetism have become pervasive across many aspects of human activity. This widespread application has introduced electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as a significant new form of environmental pollution in today's world.

Findings

The biological impacts of EMR have gained significant global interest, particularly concerning its potential interactions with human organs. The brain is of paramount concern, evidenced by numerous studies designating the nervous system as highly susceptible to EMR. Research increasingly suggests that EMR could affect the neurotransmitters in the brain, which are vital for synaptic transmission and thus crucial to our cognitive and emotional functions.

Conclusion

This summary highlights the recent concerns and scientific inquiries into the impacts of EMR on neurotransmitter metabolism and receptor activity in the brain, suggesting a potential health risk that necessitates further investigation.
