Electromagnetic Pollution | Community Health

Electromagnetic pollution, also known as electromagnetic radiation, is a growing concern for human health and the environment. Classified into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, it can cause harm to living organisms and the ecosystem. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. With the increasing use of technology and wireless devices, electromagnetic pollution is becoming a significant public health issue. According to the [[national-cancer-institute|National Cancer Institute]], exposure to electromagnetic radiation can increase the risk of cancer, and the [[environmental-protection-agency|Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA) has established guidelines to limit exposure to electromagnetic fields. The [[world-health-organization|WHO]] recommends reducing exposure to electromagnetic radiation, especially for children and pregnant women, and the [[american-cancer-society|American Cancer Society]] provides tips on how to minimize exposure to electromagnetic pollution.
