Review of the evidence on the influence of Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz radiation on oxidative stress and its possible relationship with Alzheimer's disease
Abstract
To date, there is no scientific consensus on whether wireless communication systems, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, play a crucial role in the development of Alzheimer's disease through oxidative stress. Although numerous studies have linked oxidative stress to exposure to electromagnetic radiation from wireless systems in various biological contexts, these studies have not established a direct connection to neurodegenerative diseases. Research on Alzheimer's disease and oxidative stress is an active field in neuroscience and medicine, as oxidative stress involves an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the antioxidant system's ability to neutralize them, leading to cellular and neuronal damage. It is essential to recognize that Alzheimer's disease is multifactorial, and its development generally results from a complex interaction of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The relationship between wireless systems such as Wi-Fi and oxidative stress, as well as its possible link to Alzheimer's disease, continues to be the subject of research and debate in the scientific community. Although some studies have explored this possible association, the results have been mixed and inconclusive. While research on the health effects of wireless systems remains relevant, it is prudent not to consider this association as an established fact until solid and consistent scientific evidence is available. The study we present focuses on indirectly analyzing the…
