  "main_findings": "This article argues that rapidly increasing artificial radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation exposure should be considered within planetary health. It states that mounting evidence links prolonged, acute non-thermal, and chronic RF exposure with biological effects, including altered brain metabolism and electrical activity, immune responses, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cancer risk, and cites animal studies as supportive.",
