Study of the influence of electromagnetic fields on Human well-being in buildings of the urban area of Annaba (Algeria)
Abstract
In nowadays, wireless communication technologies (Wi-Fi, mobile phone, relay antennas…) have become part of the city’s structure and have shaped a new image of our towns. Although, wireless communication played a leading role in the development of cities and smart-cities around the world. The present study based on a survey evaluating of Human well-being related to electromagnetic fields pollution (EMFP) in the urban area of Annaba (Algeria). A sociological survey conducted on 227 citizens (between 18- 39 years old). The most important results of our investigation demonstrated a correlation between EMFP exposure and Human well-being. In addition, EMFP disrupt physiological parameters leading to tiredness on waking, migraines, insomnia and stress. In conclusion, the EMFP could have a negative impact on Human well-being related to building architecture in Annaba urban area.
