Abstract
Electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation can provide biological effects on biomolecules and cells. Handphone (Mobile phone) is one of device that emits the strongest EMF radiation. The growth of cellular communication has occurred in last decade to be a thing to consider for its impact on environment and health. One attempt to overcome the effects of EMF radiation is by consuming antioxidant-rich nutrients such as those contained in fruits. Insects are one component of environment ecosystem that has various roles. Fruit fly was used as an animal model because it has short life cycle and easy to observed. The experiment aimed to determine the effect of feeding medium on the survival and morphological changes of reproductive organ fruit flies after EMF radiation treatment. The experiment was performed by EMF radiation from Handphone exposed to D. melanogaster with 3 variation treatments of feed medium namely Guava (PJ), Banana (PP), and Apple (PA). Banana feeding medium was used as standard control. Data were statistical analyzed by One Way Anova test and Tukey test (α = 0.05). The results showed that EMF radiation was capable to suppress the survival of imago and reduce the morphology of reproductive organs. Survival rate result of Adult D. melanogaster were 84.70% (control); 84.37% (PJ); 65.73% (PP) and 58.09% (PA).
