Mini Review
Electronic devices, machines, home appliances, gadgets, accessories,
related components, integrated parts, electronic systems create electromagnetic
fields in the surroundings [1]. In these electronics, the electrons have very
important and fundamental roles. Digital electronics, analogue electronics,
microelectronics, circuit design, integrated circuits, optoelectronics,
semiconductors, embedded systems generate the electromagnetic waves. The
electrical circuits involve active and passive components like resistors,
transistors, capacitors, microcontrollers, inductors, transformers, relays,
circuit breakers, switches, motors, batteries, fuses, diodes, light-emitting
diodes (LEDs), vacuum tubes, integrated circuits, printed circuit board (PCB),
amplifiers, radio receiver, oscillators, logic gates, adders, flip-flops,
counters, multiplexers, Schmitt triggers, microprocessors, microcontrollers,
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), digital signal processor (DSP),
field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and many other associated passive
electrical components including the interconnection technologies and these also
generates electromagnetic fields [2].
Following devices and machines are available in the markets and have been
used for various purposes in day today’s life by the humans [3]. The above
components are integrated into the below-mentioned machines, devices and the
electric currents flow and create the electromagnetic waves in the surrounding
and affect the health status of human beings working with the help of these
machines. The machines, gadgets and devices like Television, Laptops/Computers,
Cameras, Nintendo, Kindle Fire, PSP, Oven, Smart Phones, Apple devices, Hair
Straightener, Electric Lamp, Washing Machine, Bolometer, Music systems/
devices, Fans, Cell Phones, Play Station/Gaming consoles, Printer,
Tablets/gadgets, Pen Drives, Kindle devices, Projectors, Google Glass, Blu
Ray/CD/DVD Players, Inverter, Radio, Electronic Watches, Phone Charger, Camera
and Recorders, The Remote Control, Stereo Equalizer, Memory Card, Telephones,
Refrigerator, Sega Dreamcast/ cast devices, Speakers, Odometer, Recordable CD
Player, Cassette Deck, Hair Dryer, Electric Shaver, Wii U, Adapter/ Chargers,
ATM Machine, Blender, Stereo receiver, Flow Guard Water Level Controller,
Virtual Reality Devices, Headphones, Baby Monitors, GPS Navigation Devices, PSP
Go, Air Conditioner, Microphone, Scanner, Turntables, iQue Player, Amazon Echo,
Robots, Artificial Intelligence, imaging machines, health care devices,
diagnostic devices and many more [4] can emit radiations can compel humans to
adopt certain constant postures for long duration or can create certain
circumstances prone for accidents or physical or chemical injuries. All these
devices are useful but have associated health hazards so only judicial use of
these can prevent associated disorders. There are possible risks and hazards to
human health due to overuse and inappropriate use of electronic devices,
gadgets electronic home appliances and machines and the judicial use will be
helpful in prevention and control of these risks and hazards. Following are the
important aspects of life affected by the use of electronics. Excessive
Brightness from screens of the gadgets can cause dizziness and light-headedness,
tiredness, headaches, insomnia, vertigo, sleep deprivation [5]. Sitting and
resting posture while using gadgets can cause back pains, neck pains, shoulder
pain, tendon pains, nerve injuries are also common among the person working for
a long duration without changing their postures. Accidents are possible while
using gadgets and headphones/earbuds e.g. using the earphones for a long
duration can cause permanent or temporary hearing loss and make the person
venerable to the accidents. There are examples of accidents while crossing
railway tracks and roads while crossing the roads and using earphones [6].
Besides the exposure of cosmic rays coming from the sky the radiations from
towers of telecommunication networking, internet services also affecting the
health of human beings and the cumulative effects are responsible for
radiation-related following health disorders.
