Abstract: |

|
The conveniences and satisfaction derived in the use of EM radiation is being threatened by claims of adverse effects on human health by radiation coming from this device. This radiation belongs to the type called ionizing and non-ionizing radiation the health hazard of which remains debatable. Research has not been carried out on possible effect this device might have on human health and no experimental proof, based on data obtained within Nigeria, exist to substantiate any claim. Safety standards exist for radiation from cell phone but these are not reassuring. This paper investigates any possible effect of EM radiation on human heart rate and then come out with conclusion based on experimental proof as well as the controlling actions. In the wireless devices, there has been a massive increase in radiofrequency (RF) exposure from wireless devices as well as reports of hypersensitivity and diseases related to electromagnetic field and RF exposure. Multiple studies correlate RF exposure with diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, reproductive disorders, immune dysfunction, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Aim of this paper is to create social awareness of possible radiation hazards and precaution needed for protection. |
