Abstract
The progress in technology and science leads to the invention and use of many electrical devices in the daily lives of humans. In addition to that, people have been easily exposed to increased newly generated artificial electromagnetic waves. Exponential use of modern electronic devices has automatically led to increase in electromagnetic wave exposure. Therefore, we constructed the prototype of wireless power charging system to study the biocompatibility of electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by this system on various human cell lines. There are many studies indicating the negative bio-effect of EMF on various types of cells, such as induction of apoptosis. From the other point of view, these effects could rather be beneficial in the way, that they could eliminate the progress of various diseases or disorders. For that reason, we compared the impact of EMF (87 kHz, 0.3–1.2 mT, 30 min) on human normal as well as cancer cell lines based on morphological and cellular level. Our results suggested that EMF generated by wireless power charging systems does not have any detrimental effect on cell morphology, viability and cytoskeletal structures of human neural cells.
Highlights
Technological growth in human life, especially in the development of electrical and communication technologies has resulted in increased exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF)
We compared the effect of EMF exposure on normal as well as on cancer cells
Only a few in vitro studies have been focused on the impact of wireless power transfer systems within charging of the electric vehicles on human health
Summary
Technological growth in human life, especially in the development of electrical and communication technologies has resulted in increased exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF). People use the newly developed wireless technologies in cell phones or computers daily. As a result, living organisms are being exposed to artificial EMF that they have not experienced before. The effect of radiofrequency-EMF (RF-EMF) on living/biological systems has been controversial due to many studies with various results. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is a part of World Health. Organization (WHO), was assigned to define the link between use of mobile phones and head/neck cancers. IARC has classified RF-EMF as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) [1]
