A study on haematological and physiological effects of electromagnetic radiation from global system of communication
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim To study the effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiations from cell phone on HumansMaterials and Methods A prospective crosssectional study was conducted in a secluded room of the Central Laboratory of the Medical College where use of electronic devises is prohibited The study was conducted on 25 healthy male subjects and 25 health female subjects in the age range of 1825 years of age In post night fasting state the study subjects were isolated in the secluded room for 3 hours to prevent any exposure to electromagnetic radiations Blood sample is collected and divided into two aliquots one is control sample not exposed and test sample exposed to EMR with strength of 0471 WKg for 30 minutes from a distance of 5cm The samples were evaluated for blood cell count blood indices and blood sugar levels Nerve conduction study was done on median nerve prior to and after exposure to EMR for 5 minutesResults Significant increase was observed in Mean Corpuscular Volume MCV p 0012 and Neutrophil count p 0026 in test sample compared to control sample Significant decrease was observed in Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration MCHC p 0049 and blood sugar levels pNerve conduction study on median nerve has shown significant increase in conduction velocity p 0014Conclusion The study has shown that even a limited exposure to EMR in recommended strengths can cause significant changes in haematological parameters and conduction velocity of nerve Keywords Haematological Electro magnetic radiations Nerve conduction study
