In today’s world, most children are exposed to various electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs
are electromagnetic waves less than 300 GHz. A developing child’s brain is vulnerable to
electromagnetic radiation; thus, their caregivers’ concerns about the health effects of EMFs are
increasing. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been implicated to influence a range of bodily functions.
Given their ubiquitous nature, widespread applications, and capability to produce deleterious effects,
conclusive investigations of the health risks are critical. The utilization of Electromagnetic field has become
universal from everyday usage of electronic appliances. This Article reviews on various Effect of
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) on Human Health. The biological effects of EMFs on humans include
stimulation, thermal, and nonthermal, the latter of which is the least known. Among the various health
issues related to EMFs, the most important issue is human carcinogenicity. Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
have various chemical effects, including causing deterioration in large molecules in cells and imbalance in
ionic equilibrium.
