Abstract
Aim: Purpose of our study is to research the effect of the extremely low electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) generated by the hair dryer device on the hormone, biochemical and blood values of the male workers working in the hairdressing saloons.Materials and Methods: Eight male workers were included in the study, with exclusion factors being applied, with two equal groupings as control and test group. Then the blood of the workers working in the hairdressing centers and the control group not exposed to these effects was taken. In the study, biochemistry, hormones and whole blood levels of sera were analyzed by means of full automatic analyzers.Results: When all biochemistry and hormone parameters were examined, no significant difference was found between control and experiment group (p>0.05). In whole blood results, the red blood cell, hemoglobin and hematocrit parameters were not statistically significant (p<0.05), and other parameters were not statistically significant (p>0.05).Conclusion: The results suggest that ELF-EMFs over a long period of time may affect men working in hairdressers on hormone, biochemistry and whole blood parameters.
