Electromagnetic Pollution as a Current Issue

Research confirms that the fields emitted by mobile phones and other electronic devices can cause both thermal and non-thermal effects, which may have a negative impact on human health. Particularly vulnerable groups include children, pregnant women, and individuals with weak health. Recent studies show that electromagnetic radiation may increase the risks of oncological diseases, hormonal changes, blood clotting disorders, and other pathologies. Some studies demonstrate the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on flora and fauna, with the decline in insect populations being particularly alarming, as it could lead to cascading effects. Although international organizations have set standards to protect against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation, full protection for living organisms has yet to be achieved. In this regard, further research is essential. Financially supported by Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG) [grant number YS-23-131].
