What is electromagnetic radiation?

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is classified into two types, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation Ionizing radiations belong to the high-frequency category, such as, X-rays and Gamma rays, while non-ionizing radiation is when photons are too weak to break the bonds. Ultraviolet and infrared radiation, radio frequency and microwaves, all belong to this category. Our electronic devices (i.e. phones and computers) emit EMR constantly.

Effects of EMR on the human body

Electromagnetic radiation can affect human health, and that’s all there is to it. There is electrical activity flowing through our bodies which plays a vital role in our performing functions such as growth, metabolism, movement, and thought. Exposure to EMR can upset this flow and disrupt the functioning of our organs—especially that of the brain. It can also result in the development of serious health conditions such as insomnia, depression, and a shortened attention span, all while exposing your brain to damage from toxic substances. The World Health Organization has even classified Radio frequency (RF) emissions as a carcinogen of the group 2B category, which is a category shared by lead and pesticides. This in the wake of a study which suggested that cellphone usage had led to the development of malignant tumors, especially of the brain. Some studies also indicate that exposure to non-ionizing radiation can lead to headaches, fatigue, allergies, skin conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and more.
