Electromagnetic and optical radiation are integral to modern technology, influencing various physical and biological systems. This paper delves into the dual nature of these radiations, exploring their beneficial applications in fields such as communication, medical diagnostics, and material processing, while also addressing their potential adverse effects on cellular structures, human health, and material integrity. It analyzes the mechanisms through which these radiations interact with matter, focusing on ionization, thermal effects, and photochemical processes. Recent studies have been reviewed to assess cellular damage, DNA alterations, and oxidative stress induced by prolonged exposure. Additionally, the impact on structural materials, including degradation and thermal instability, is discussed. Regulatory guidelines and safety standards are evaluated to identify gaps and areas for improvement. Emerging technologies like 5G and laser systems are critically examined for their implications. The review underscores the pressing need for enhanced public awareness and effective safety protocols. By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives, this work emphasizes the importance of achieving a balance between leveraging technological benefits and mitigating associated risks to ensure sustainable development and public safety.
