The research into the electromagnetic radiation of mobile phones and wireless networks is relatively small, although they are some of the devices that people use daily. The study aimed to investigate the attitudes and behaviors of college students about electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and wireless networks, as well as to examine the impact of the curricula of the university departments in which they study. The study involved 619 students from six different university departments. Data collection was performed using a closed-ended questionnaire. The general conclusion of the research was that students have incomplete knowledge about the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones and wireless networks, while at the same time they have a negative attitude and consider it dangerous to the health of living organisms. However, their behaviors regarding the protection of their health do not match with the attitudes they have formed, while in the majority they are significantly related to the university department in which they study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
