Abstract
It is 2017 and mobile communication technology has completely engraved itself into our lives. Mobile communication technology usage has been quickly develop internationally in the last 10 years, which has ensued in concern of public about the harmful health effect of electromagnetic (EM) radiation that are discharged by cell phones. The exposure of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has received an equitable share of participation in literature; however, this paper is one to represent the effects of the electromagnetic fields induced by cell phones on human body, plans related to electromagnetic vulnerability in mobile communication and present feasible ways of reducing the effects.
