<p>Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses significant risks to electronic devices and human health due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation. High-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from electronics can damage the eyes, bones, cartilage, fertility, and fetus. EMR radiation can produce dose-dependent cataracts. Low-frequency EMR may activate bone cells to treat osteoarthritis and other degenerative bone conditions. If exposed for too long, oxidative damage in the tests may induce apoptosis, sperm loss, and testosterone loss. This study evaluates innovative shielding materials, focusing on metal nanomaterials and carbon-based composites, which provide enhanced EMI shielding performance, stability, and flexibility. This review assesses these materials via an extensive examination of their shielding efficacy, structural design, and biological effects. Significant findings indicate that composites such as nickel-MWCNTs/HDPE and Ti₃C₂Tx MXene attain remarkable shielding performance of up to 94.1&#xa0;dB at 100% strain and 92&#xa0;dB at a thickness of 45&#xa0;μm, respectively, while also mitigating health concerns associated with electromagnetic interference, including cataracts and fertility disorders. This review addresses the detrimental effects of electromagnetic interference&#xa0;on live organisms and examines how novel materials mitigate this impact. This review presents a cohesive analysis of the relationship between human health and electromagnetic interference shielding techniques.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
