Assessment and Categorization of Biological Effects and Atypical Symptoms Owing to Exposure to RF Fields from Wireless Energy Devices

Abstract

Overview

Environmental electromagnetic fields are pervasive, affecting everyone in today's technological era. The primary sources of electromagnetic exposure stem from radiofrequency wireless communication systems.

Findings

• Exposure to electromagnetic fields has direct effects on living tissues, potentially leading to biological issues and personal symptoms. It also can interfere with healthcare devices.
• This study categorizes the consequences of non-ionizing fields emitted by radiofrequency devices, considering both short and long-term effects.
• Methods to evaluate these effects include systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which help in assessing the severity and spread of these biological effects and symptoms.

Conclusion

The evaluation and discussion of methodologies that categorize sources of exposure and their respective biological impacts and symptoms are critical to understanding and mitigating health risks associated with electromagnetic fields from wireless technologies.
