nELECTROMAGNETIC POLLUTION:
” IS IT AN INVISIBLE HAZARD FOR HUMAN AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH? ”

ABSTRACT
Nowadays the society is surrounded by a huge amount of electronic devices which work during all the day with wireless connection. The fact that concerns the most to scientific community is the mobile phone use and the possible harmful effects (mainly cancer) on human brain. It is a reallydifficult task to take conclusions, but although some studies do not believe in the harmless of the electromagnetic pollution, some other studies are carrying out interesting surveys in which the conclusions are just the opposite. Overall it is lack of data, but it is also true that this problem is seen and defined by some experts as one of the most influent experiment ever. At the same time,ecosystems could be used as indicators of this kind of invisible pollution and quite some studies are considering this, drawing as well important conclusions.
