Effect of Electromagnetic Radiations on Anxiety Related Behavior: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is a form of energy emitted and absorbed by charged particles, which exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. Anxiety is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences at times. Many people feel anxious, or nervous, when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. They can cause such distress that it interferes with a person's ability to lead a normal life. Over the past decades, continual evidence has demonstrated that extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF MF) and Radiofrequency (RF) radiations produced effects on cognition, nervous system function, and brain activity. However, studies have been carried out at various strengths and some of the results are not promising. Therefore, further studies are warranted to critically evaluate the ELF MF and RF exposure on anxiety related behaviors and mechanisms involved therein.
