Abstract

To evaluate the effects of electromagnetic waves on the total number and percentage of white blood cells and also antioxidant effects of vitamin C on the effects radiation, 24 male mice (Balb/c) were used: control under the influence of low frequency electromagnetic waves and under the influence of waves with vitamin C. Total number of white blood cells in under the influence waves group significantly increased compared to control group, and also under the influence waves group with vitamin C because its antioxidant property is able to prevent the increasing impact of electromagnetic waves. The percentage of white blood cells in the under influence waves group did not significantly change compared to the control group and also, the under influence waves group with vitamin C had no significant change compared to the other group. The percentage of neutrophils in samples of the under influence waves group had significant decrease compared to control group but in the under influence waves group with vitamin C compared to the other group, this vitamin C could prevent a significant reduction in percentage of neutrophils. Our findings indicated that low electromagnetic fields have caused significant changes in the total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils in mice. In the group that received vitamin C injection, significant changes were observed in the total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils relative to the group under the influence of low electromagnetic waves, which indicates that vitamin C could restore the mean total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils to normal value.

Highlights

  • The electromagnetic field is a field generated by accelerated electrically charged particles

  • Most of the radiation in our environment seems to be very low frequency electromagnetic radiation and very low frequency electromagnetic radiation that operates at a frequency range of 0 to 300 Hz, and its frequency is constant in everyday human life, in its rising [1].White blood cells are made only of lymph nodes and thymus glands; these cells act as bodyguards against invasive external factors

  • Two control and experimental groups of adult and immature male rats were placed near the microwave device at a frequency of 2450 MHz The results of this study indicate that in the immature group most of the blood factors were affected by the effects of microwave waves, in this group the number of white blood cells and the percentage of lymphocytes decreased, which contradicted the results of this study

Summary

Introduction

The electromagnetic field is a field generated by accelerated electrically charged particles. The interaction of two perpendicular magnetic and magnetic fields creates an electromagnetic field. These twodimensional waves are cross-flows, that is, the energy transfer is perpendicular to the oscillations. If external bacteria find the skin through the tissues and cause infection, the white blood cells attack and try to encircle the attacker, resulting in a painful vomiting, but infection which usually occurs in this way is limited. If the infection is like an infection with influenza or a more severe disease, such as a common smallpox, the invasion may be successful soon, but these are white blood cells that overcome the virus and in our body permanent immunity against subsequent attacks of this particular factor is created.
