Abstract : Recent advancements in wireless communication technologies have led to the existence of a higher amount of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the atmosphere. The intensity of these exposed radiation depends upon the frequency of operation from these communication devices. The paper presents a scientific study on assessing the intensity of electromagnetic waves emitted by different wireless communication devices with human beings based on analyzing the electric field, magnetic field and power density generated from various electronic gadgets and wireless communication devices like smartwatch, laptop, mobile phone, nano-station, headset and mobile towers using an electro-smog meter (Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Meter - PCE-EM 29). The interaction is being studied by placing different wireless communication equipment near to human body. Based on the study, it is identified that a portion of the EMR is absorbed by nearby human beings and is identified by differentiating the field characteristics with and without its presence and is tested in near or far away from the devices. From the test results, it is identified that a portion of the EMR is absorbed by the body parts of the human beings near to the wireless device. This result could act as scientific evidence providing the effects of EMR interactions like electromagnetic hypersensitivity symptoms on humans. Similarly, most of the field exposures from the radiating devices are highly influenced by all the biotic community including human beings based on its interaction. All these field exposures to radiation from various wireless communication devices are direct indications of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
