Abstract

All electronic devices such as televisions, computers, laptops, mobile phones, heaters, washing machines, air conditioners etc. emit electromagnetic radiation. The types and levels of radiation emitted from device varies. All electronic products that increase in temperature, emit thermal radiation. Electronic devices in which high voltage components are used produce X- rays. Many studies have reached the same conclusion that the emissions of all types of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, ultra violet (UV), visible (light), radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) radiation, including microwaves doesn’t have an enough high frequency, so they are environmental healthy. As the frequency of electromagnetic radiation increases, they become more dangerous and causes harmful effect on human health. The present article is the study of electromagnetic radiation and also the effects of electromagnetic fields from daily used electronic gadgets on human body are reviewed. For the same purpose work of several researchers have been studied. During study it has been observed that some research gaps remain in understanding radiation’s effect on human health, necessitating additional studies.
