The effects of radiofrequency and low frequency electromagnetic fields on the immune system

In recent years, there is increasing concern about the increased public awareness of the effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human health and possible negative effects. Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs), which disrupt the human body's balance with the magnetic fields, are spread by natural or man-made sources. Electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency (RF; 3 kHz-300 GHz) region are used in mobile phones, base stations, wireless communication, radio frequency identification systems, medical and industrial applications, radio and television broadcasts etc. Immunological studies show that RF-EMA and ELF-EMA can interact with cells and tissues and produce a large number of anti-inflammatory agents. Although many studies have been conducted to date on the effects of RF-EMA and elf-EMA on cells of our immune system, there are some conflicting and inconsistent findings about mobile phones. In spite of the wide range of studies on the subject, there is no universally accepted standard hypothesis in the research in this area. In this review, examples that emphasize the positive and negative findings of the EMFs regarding the immune system are compiled and presented
