Abstract

Electromagnetic radiation, emitted by various natural and human-made sources, has become an integral part of modern life. The article gives an overview on dual impact of electromagnetic radiations on both the environment and human health. On the environmental front, concerns center on electromagnetic pollution, with potential disruptions to wildlife and ecosystems. Studies indicate that electromagnetic fields may interfere with the navigation abilities of birds and insects, raising questions about their impact on biodiversity and ecological balance. Additionally, the energy consumption associated with electromagnetic radiation-emitting devices contributes to the broader conversation on climate change. The abstract emphasizes the importance of regulations, guidelines, and technological innovations to mitigate potential risks, emphasizing the need for continued scientific exploration and public awareness to strike a harmonious equilibrium between technological progress and the well-being of both humans and the environment.
