The explosion of information technology has fueled a high demand for telecommunications services, particularly in wireless communications. However, this development not only drives unprecedented advancements in telecommunications but also results in a surge in Radio Frequency (RF) radiation, posing potential health issues. This project aims to develop alternative lightweight bricks using Hevea Brasiliensis-based biomass, augmented with aluminum powder for lightness while integrating geometrical designs to potentially mitigate RF radiation. Incorporating rubber wood sawdust into the cement composition of lightweight cement bricks leverages its potential as an absorbing material due to its carbon elements. Moreover, the incorporation of geometrical designs of lightweight brick enhances the effectiveness of RF radiation absorption. Additionally, being biodegradable and lightweight, this material addresses wood waste disposal issues prevalent in Malaysia, one of the world's largest rubber suppliers. Consequently, this project holds significant promise for advancing building technology with anti-radiation features, adding substantial value. The subsequent phase involves constructing a model house using this antiradio frequency radiation building material to comprehensively assess its absorption performance.
