“…According to Davis et al (2023), many widely used devices, such as phones and tablets, function as two-way microwave radios, sending and receiving various frequencies of microwave radiation carrying information on multiple antennas operating simultaneously. Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation has been linked to a number of health problems, including an increased risk of cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems (Jangid et al, 2023), as society continues to rapidly integrate electronic technology, the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic radiation will increase; therefore, there is an urgent need to explore innovative ways to reduce the risks of e-health and its potential adverse effects.…”

A documentary review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers related to the study of the variables Aloe Vera and Radiation Absorption. The purpose of the bibliometric analysis proposed in this document was to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in the Scopus database during the period 2012-2022, achieving the identification of 18 publications. The information provided by this platform was organized through graphs and figures categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics have been described, the position of different authors towards the proposed theme is referenced through a qualitative analysis. Among the main findings made through this research, it is found that India, with 11 publications, was the country with the highest scientific production registered in the name of authors affiliated with institutions of that nation. The Area of Knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material referring to the study of the variables Aloe Vera and the absorption of radiation, was Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical with 6 published documents, the same presented under the theories of Chemistry. The most used Type of Publication during the period indicated above were Journal Articles with 61% of the total scientific production.

“…These electromagnetic fields are utilized in contemporary society and are expanding as a result of the deployment of wireless technology and digital infrastructures. Today, several public health advocacies and environmental activists have acknowledge these electromagnetic fields as potential biologically active environmental contaminants (Davis et al, 2023), (Hens & Hens, 2017).…”

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has both ionizable and non-ionizable chemical impact that causes protons and electrons to interact as fields in any surrounding as it travels. This can have negative health effects, such as warming up the body because of polarization and dipolar moment itchy skin eruption. This paper adopted Feynman diagram from quantum electrodynamics as a theoretical model to explain the quantum properties related to the interactions of EMR, in specific the exchanges involving photons and electrons in the 5G electromagnetic carrier signals. The Feynman model depicts electron-positron collisions as mutually annihilating antiparticles that ultimately produce photons. The mutual annihilation resulted in the disappearance of an electron and its antiparticle, producing gamma rays with highest ionizable penetrating power. The process of chemical polarization, also known as ionizing radiation, causes molecules within cells to split apart and create free reactive radicals, which in turn affects the immune system of the body. As a result of the existence of unpaired electrons that occurred from the breaking up of water molecules within the cells, it destabilizes the equilibrium of the charged particles that make up the human deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The free radicals will produce hydrogen peroxide compounds, which will start toxic chemical processes inside the cells that can lead to things like fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Hydrogen peroxide produced from the disintegration of water molecules as a result of EMR is found to facilitate the multistage carcinogenic process, which involves carcinogen activation, oxidative DNA damage, and tumor formation.
