- Abstract
Excessive everyday use of mobile phones and wireless communication systems has produced life in electromagnetic fields and growing public concern about possible effects on human health. All these devices operate close to the head and body and electromagnetic waves leave part of their energy in the matter through which they pass. There has been a lot of research on the toxic effects of amalgam fillings that are believed to be the main source of human total mercury body burden but there is not sufficient knowledge about the influence of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone on amalgam filling and how that affects human health. Electrical engineering has the task to produce devices that improve the quality of human life without any negative effects, and to ensure the safety of new products and technologies. Using electromagnetic simulation to obtain electromagnetic quantities in the head and teeth and linking these results to physical and physical-chemical processes in the matter has led to advances in clarifying these issues. In general, the conclusion is that the use of mobile phones can lead to increased absorption of energy and other electromagnetic quantities in teeth and filling of teeth and cause increased release of mercury and toxicological effects to health associated with the intake of mercury in the human organism.
