Abstract:Nowadays, our surroundings are filled with electrical devices that emit electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves emitted by devices such as mobile phones, wireless earphones, high-voltage power lines, electric cookers and electric blankets have the same properties as radiation; they differ only in wavelength. Exposure to these waves causes water molecules in the body to ionize, producing hydrogen peroxide and increasing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress contributes to numerous diseases and adverse effects of electromagnetic waves have been reported, including infertility, leukaemia and cancer. As it is impractical to avoid electromagnetic wave-emitting devices entirely, it is necessary to take measures to counteract the oxidative stress they cause. |
