Abstract

This bibliometric review aimed to analyze publications on electromagnetic pollution and the development of diseases in humans. EMBASE, Scopus, National Library of Medicine - Medline via PubMed, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library were searched in April and May 2023. Rayyan® was used to remove duplicates and select studies. The selection resulted in 10 articles. IRaMuTeQ® was used to analyze the textual corpus. The Descending Hierarchical Classification generated five classes: exposure to electromagnetic field and impact on health (Class 1); base stations and cell phones: impact on health (Classes 2 and 3); and measurement of exposure to magnetic fields at different periods, especially in pregnant women (Classes 3 and 4). In conclusion, the literature shows that exposure to electromagnetic fields from base stations, telephone antennas and cell phones can impact human health, with the occurrence of neoplasms, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, blood oxidative stress, congenital defects, between others.
