Abstract: Today the use of wireless communication in our daily life is fast-growing, and it has changed the fundamental characteristics of our communications. Wireless communication has now become one of the most important and suitable in the communication network today. With the rapid development of low-cost devices coupled with advanced capabilities for connectivity, flexibility in deployment and operation and allowing more advanced applications and software to run in the miniature environment, the growth in usage of wireless communication is phenomenal. With the Internet of Things, M2M communications and 5G mobile communication knocking the door of today’s world, there is also a tremendous surge in wireless Radio Frequency – Electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) radiation exposure in our environment, and it is accelerating very fast. The spurt in RF-EMF exposure level is also raising concern over its effects on the living or biological system. Contradictory and confusing research findings are inhibiting the unequivocal conclusion on the real effect of RF-EM radiation on biological systems. This study deliberates over and examines the various research-based on in-vitro, in-vivo, epidemiological and provocation studies on the effect of RF-EM radiation exposure. The study presents data from different studies and analysis done to estimate the biological effects of RF-EM radiation exposure. The findings are inconsistent, and hence interpretation is difficult. However, emphasis is given on identifying the research needs for future studies so that results are more consistent and conclusive.
