| Abstract |
The everyday comfort and security of the present society are intimately associated with the assistance of different tools that function by means of diverse sources linked to the transfer and conversion of electromagnetic (EM) energy. The use of these devices exhibits expected outcomes, which are regularly coexistent with unwanted side effects. A laudable intention of an administration is to strengthen the anticipated results and lessen the unsolicited effects. This paper’s goal, in the framework of such an organization, is to evaluate the significance of the methodologies of responsible attitude (RA) and one health (OH) in the everyday exercise of the involved wireless EM energy tools in the environment of a smart city (SC). The approach of RA is linked to a tool’s eco-design, while the concept of OH is linked to the protection of an SC’s biodiversity and ecosystem. The unwanted side effects of these wireless devices could be implicated as occurrences of straying or radiated EM fields on devices or living tissues. The investigation intends to assess the enhancement of projected outcomes and the reduction of unwanted effects in the quotidian exercise of wireless EM energy transfer and transmission tools in the SC environment. The challenges are associated with the sources and the emissions of wireless EM technologies available today, and their impacts on the health of living tissues, biodiversity, and the ecosystem. The paper centered particularly on two cases engaged in the SC environment. The first involves the disrupting effects of EM exposure of onboard or near-living tissues from sensing and assistance medical tools. The second is linked to the adverse biological effects resulting from wireless inductive power transfer used for charging the batteries inside electric vehicles while motionless or running in SCs. The inquiries followed in the paper are supported by instances in the literature. © 2025 by the author. |
