The Side Effects of Electromagnetic Waves on Human Health: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Since electromagnetic waves (EMW) have been used in various cases to treat different diseases, they can also protect stress proteins. This usage can prevent heart attacks, strengthen heart rate, reduce DNA damage, improve brain function, and prevent the growth of cancer cells. Additionally, it can cure mental disorders and strengthen the immune system when the dosage is controlled correctly. However, the radiation of electromagnetic waves (REW) can cause severe damage to both wildlife and the environment. In this research, the effects of electromagnetic waves, particularly the impact of radio waves caused by wireless telecommunications, have been studied. Electromagnetic waves pollute the environment and cause severe damage to wildlife and the ecosystem. Antennas installed between residential houses continuously emit waves that negatively affect the environment and human health in the long run. Consequently, environmental pollution caused by radio frequencies and microwaves reduces the quality of life and poses a risk to plants within 100 meters of the source.
