Abstract
The aim of the research was to assess effects of short and long-period exposure to radiation from mobile phone on blood indices in experimental rats. In this study forty mature female rats were used; the animals were divided into two experimental group, each group consists of twenty animals. Short-period group of rats were exposed to cell phone radiation for different duration 30 m, 60 m, and 90 m per day for six weeks. Long-period group of rats were exposed to radiation from mobile phone for different duration 2h, 4h, and 6h per day for three months. The study noticed that there was significant (P≥0.05) elevation in total white blood cells and the study demonstrated significant increment (P≥0.05) in percentage of lymphocytes (71.1%) of rats which exposed to radiation from mobile phone for short-period in (90 minutes) compared to the control group (42.64%). While, the study revealed that there was a significantly (P≥0.05) lower percentage of neutrophils (15.36%) in rats that were exposed to mobile phone radiation for long-period in (6 hours) compared with the control group (52.12%).The study recorded that there was a significant (P≥0.05) elevation in total red blood corpuscles and packed cell volume of rats exposed to radiation from mobile phone for short and long-period in different times compared with control. On the other hand, the research indicated that there was a significant (p≤0.05) decrement in mean corpuscles volume (MCV), mean corpuscle hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscle hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell distribution width standard deviation (RDW-SD) of rats to radiation from mobile phone for short and long-period in different times than control group.
Highlights
Cell phones have become essential part of daily life
The results recorded that there was a significantly (P≥0.05) higher percentage of lymphocytes of rats which exposed to radiation from mobile phone for short and long-period in different times compared with the control group (Table 1, 2)
This study found that there was a significant (P≥0.05) elevation in total leukocytes count of rats which exposed to radiation from mobile phone for short and long-period in 60 minutes and 90 minutes compared with control group (Table 1)
Summary
Cell phones have become essential part of daily life. It produces radiation fields around them when in use, electromagnetic pollution increased [1]. Electromagnetic fields from mobile phones cause changes in immune activity in cultured Peripheral blood mononuclear cells [3]. WHO organization illustrated that radiations produced by the mobile phone were hard for health of human and some of them were not. It was scientifically demonstrated that the radiations from mobile phones could cause variant diseases; especially the brain of human being and it will give them hardships adjusting to their daily organized work path [5]. The purpose of this research is to assess the effects of short and long-period exposure to radiation produced by mobile phone on hematological indices in experimental rats
