Abstract
Copepods belonging to planktonic species are small crustaceans found in water bodies. Plankton are the primary producers that are important for food webs and ecosystems. This study analyzes the effects of planktonic species in current telecommunication devices that emit radio frequency and produce EM fields. In recent years, there has been massive growth in the number of mobile tower stations. Case studies have been conducted on the effects of radiation from these towers on various organisms. In
