Abstract

Several RF sources are present for the commercial as well as defense application. In this article we will focus on the neurological consequences of Microwave Radiation (MWR). Since microwaves impact so many facets of our lives, this research focuses on their health implications. The brain is perhaps the most sensitive organ to MWR, with mitochondrial damage manifesting faster and more profoundly than in other regions. The effects of MWR on brain metabolic pathways have piqued public attention. The possibility for significant numbers of people to be subjected to dynamic, multi-frequency microwave energy nowadays, is a reality. Many urban people residing in the highrise structures of the city, come in the main beam radiation of the antenna which is mounted at a comparable height. Owing to the pervasive presence of MWR, its extensive usage, and the potential for harmful effects, comprehensive analyses of the health risks are imperative. It is crucial, therefore, to assess the level of exposure that is safe for the general population so as to minimize adverse effects despite reducing the favorable uses of microwaves.
