Today’s smarter life helps in spread of smart devices, which can surf anywhere, share emotions from everywhere, monitors kids over air, and many more with just a click. Increasing wireless devices includes mobile phones has increased the people exposure to electromagnetic fields at radio frequencies. By the telecommunication safety regulations, the electromagnetic fields are kept low from safety limits, both from mobile phones and base stations. Still some research findings have concluded the possible health effects from electromagnetic fields.
One can ask, what are the ways that radio frequency affects our human body? Although the effect of radio frequency is not harmful always, but a number of scientific experiments have looked into the adverse effect of radio frequencies. They came with two categories, first thermal effects and second are non-thermal effects of radio field on human body.
The thermal effects are related with increase in body temperature by the absorption of radio fields. Wireless devices are designed to ensure the amount of heat is well below the level.
The non-thermal effects are related with various changes within the cells that make human tissues due to chemical and biological elements. The base stations installed are current ensured to no biological and chemical changes in human body.
Many researches are still going to conclude the non-thermal radio field exposure effects. It is very difficult to test for the use of radio field and biological effects. The inability of science cannot be taken as absolute safeguard from adverse effect of radio fields on human body.
