Abstract

Overview

A significant share of modern technologies, including communication devices, household appliances, industrial equipment, and medical devices, emit electromagnetic field (EMFR) radiation, posing potential risks to human health.

Findings

• Various types of EMFR such as Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), Radio Frequency (RF), and Ionizing Range (IR) have been proven to adversely affect human health at cellular, nervous, and cardiovascular levels.
• Regulatory bodies worldwide have set thresholds to mitigate these effects, emphasizing both national and international efforts in protecting human health against EMFR exposure.

Conclusion

This review serves as a crucial foundation for future researches, enabling architects and building specialists to design safer environments and more effectively monitor and mitigate electromagnetic radiation within buildings. It stresses the importance of a mature assessment method for EMFR in building environments and its correlation with health outcomes to enhance occupant well-being.
