6 “Are Electromagnetic Field Radiation Targets Blood Cells?
Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 29
Abstract
In world of globalization is very difficult not to have technology. But with technology, come certain hazards. The only way to beat these is again, better technology. A cell phone technology is a best example of electromagnetic radiation, which introduce in India few years back, but now its need of society. It also works on electromagnetic radiation. The development of wireless communication systems has given rise to concerns about the potential human health hazards of increased and chronic exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) and radio frequency (RF) radiation. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the frequent exposures of electromagnetic field radiation targets the blood cells in human being. The present study was conducted over a period of three years (2009-2012), which covers urban as well as rural areas of Surat districts. It was under taken in 114 subjects, including control group. The study includes anthropometric parameters (like Height, Weight, BMI), Clinical examination (like Pulse rate, base-line blood pressure etc.) and haematological tests (like blood count, blood indices and blood pictures) in various groups. Ethical approval and other aspects were taken into consideration. The blood tests were performed in all the 114 apparently healthy subjects. The data obtained was tabulated with respect to various parameters and was statistically analysed. Although radiation exposures due to mobile phone and base station are very low, but once the energy is absorbed by the biological matter can cause severe and long lasting damage to human health. It might take years for the damage to produce noticeable symptoms. According to that we performed the study and we found the changes accordingly. In our study, haematological analysis shows that blood parameters were within the range, some of the parameter might increase or decrease as compared to control group but some of the alarming situations were sparking like 'rolls of coins’ in RBC’s which raises the risk of thrombosis or transport of oxygen, change in reticulocyte count may tells about bone marrow activity and so on. Based on this, we would like to conclude that the persistent & prolonged exposure under the cellular mobile phone & cellular phone base station is a risk factor.
