Along with development of electronics and software technology, amount of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, which expose to people, has significantly risen. For people who uses or do not use technology, it is of great importance that they should have enough information about EM radiation exposing them. So, not only EM radiation is described, but also effects of EM radiation sources are researched in this study. EM radiation is mainly divided into two parts as ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Technologies which we mostly use in daily life and whose radiation we are exposed to are chiefly telecommunication systems. EM radiation emitted by these systems is non-ionizing type due to their low energy levels. However, exposure of ionizing EM radiation is almost not present and its exposure is personally arisen at only special situations. As examples for this type of EM radiation, medical radiography and security screening systems using x-ray may be said. In this context, each person needs to be informed about these topics and cautious for human health. In respect of health of next generation, definition, types and sources of EM radiation have great importance to be learnt.
