The telecommunication devices (Mobile Phone, Wi-Fi, Computer, Television, etc.) have proved to be
revolutionary effects in terms of communication with anywhere and anytime in the whole world, but it is
mostly accompanied with Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) hazards. The human body has the ability to absorb
these radiations might be harmful and can cause even different diseases like cancer, mental disorders,
neurologic illnesses, fecal abnormalities, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) has
very beneficial uses of our daily life to make it more comfortable and easier. Nowadays, we can talk to anyone
on a mobile phone through the Internet: it is because EMR, since these waves can transmit signals over very
long distances. So EMR has the key roles in making our lives more comfortable.

Mobile Phones
In the present era, the mobile phone has played a vital role in our daily life activities. Recently mobile phone is
an integral part of business, commerce, studies, and society. Mobile phones are very useful for quick
information situations. People use their mobile phones for various purposes such as:
1. Text messaging
2. Photography or taking pictures
3. Making videos, sending photos via Bluetooth
4. Accessing the internet, sending or receiving emails
5. Playing video games
6. Listening music
7. Recording video
8. Downloading various applications such as WhatsApp Messenger, WeChat, Viber Messenger, Imo free video
calls and chat, etc.
9. Using social networking site like Facebook, Twitter, Skype-free IM and video calls etc.
10. Online banking and business management
11. Video calls or video chat

However, using mobile phones is associated with the following health hazards:
1. Fatigue
2. Headache
3. Dizziness
4. Tension
5. Sleep Disturbance
It is the cause of hippocampal lipidome as proved by the experiment on a mouse. It disturbs our brain and
central nervous system, leading to memory loss. The excessive use of mobile phones can cause vision and
hearing symptoms in the population and also leads to an increase in social awareness of health associative
problems.

Wi-Fi
The present report investigated the effects of EMR induced by Wi-Fi have many benefits and adverse effects.
Wi-Fi LAN’s allow fast network information, also beneficial in reducing the cost for wiring installation and to
give industrial subscribers more flexibility anywhere at any place, whenever they want to do work. Home
subscribers also want to abstain installation wiring process. Wireless internet routers or Wi-Fi modems use
possibly dangerous electromagnetic radiation to send their signals to your computer through walls. If you have
a wireless internet router set up in your home or office, you will be exposure to EMR. Wireless access to the
Internet is now commonly used in schools/colleges. Many schools/colleges provide laptop to each student with
Wi-Fi connection, which is utilized for training and educational purpose. The effects of long-term exposure to
Wi-Fi type radio frequency (RF) signals (2.40 GHz), two hours per day during one month at a specific
absorption rate of 1.60 W/kg may cause Alzheimer’s disease. It may also cause some oxidative stress
parameters in rat kidney. The exposure of EMR (2.45 GHz) may cause many changes in the rat brain and
expression of fall in brain antioxidants. It is also reported that wireless connected laptop on the lap near the
testes may have effects on male fertility and increased DNA fragmentation.

Microwaves
Our main objective is to investigate the effects of EMR from microwave ovens to the health of the people
coming across its use. Most of the people believe that microwave ovens may cause diseases such as cancer and
the food prepared by them becomes harmful. But there is no scientific experimental evidence. EMR from
microwave oven has the capability to penetrate many things like water, ice, smog. It affects the nutrient
capability of vegetables making them unhealthy for human use, such as it destroys the anti-cancer ability of
different vegetables like garlic as demonstrated in several studies to describe the effects of microwave oven
heating destroyed garlic anti-carcinogenesis property, which is related with active allyl sulfur compounds. The
long terms exposure of low-frequency EMR from home appliances can cause health problem such as:

TV, Cell Phone and FM Towers

In the recent past, long term exposure of EMR from Cell phone towers, TV and FM towers have caused serious
health problems. Hocking et al in Australia reported incidence of leukemia, tumors, and cancer was more in the
people residing near TV, cell phone and FM towers, while those residing far away from the towers found fewer
chances of diseases in them. Cooper et al collected cancer data from the years 1987-1994 which were
investigated from the West Midlands Cancer Intelligence Unit database (Birmingham, England). They studied
all types of cancer, for each of them, 10 bands of males, females, and adults were selected. A number of
leukemia cases were calculated for all of these members on the basis of sex, social issues. This research gives
evidence from stone’s test showing more risk of leukemia in females/children as compared to males.
It is reported in the literature that people living near antennas were suffering from high risk of diseases such
as:
1. Cardiovascular problems
2. Skin diseases
3. Irritability
4. Visual disruptions
5. Hearing problems
6. Depression
