Absorbing Meta-Textile: An Innovative Barrier Against the Carcinogenic Effects of Electromagnetic Waves
摘要
With the increasing presence of electromagnetic (EM) waves in our environment—primarily driven by the extensive adoption of wireless technologies and smart devices—concerns have intensified over the possible health implications, particularly in relation to long-term exposure and cancer development. While scientific findings on this matter remain debated, the precautionary principle promotes the pursuit of effective protective measures. This paper investigates the use of absorbing meta-textile based on woven meta material as a promising approach to reducing EM wave exposure. These innovative textile-based structures exhibit distinct electromagnetic characteristics that allow them to target and attenuate specific frequency ranges through selective absorption or reflection. The article presents the fundamental design and functionality of meta-textile, discusses their incorporation into intelligent fabrics, and explores their potential use in shielding applications aimed at health preservation. Special attention is given to their possible role in cancer prevention and their interdisciplinary significance across materials science, electromagnetics, and biomedical engineering.
