Abstract
Non ionizing radiations like microwaves(MW) have been associated with enhanced production of free radicals like,O2, peroxides and super oxidesradicals. The effects of exposure of a non ionizing radiation [microwave] on the HB, PCV, and RBC of fifteen human blood samples of genotypes AA, SS irradiated at a power density of 60mwcm2 have been investigated using the microwavegenerator model ER66OE (NQ 2XC21744) from Toshiba UK, while readings obtained with the aid of a haematocrit reader’ The resultsobtained show that there is decrease in the HB concentration and also decrease in the 90 volume of the PCV after irradiation. Comparism of the percentage difference for pre and post irradiation of HB is 4.5. 13.5 and 4.7% for genotypes AA, AS and SS respectively. This result shows the blood genotypes AS is more fragile and most affected by MW exposure. The results indicates that MW exposure may cause adverse physiological consequences on those exposed to high levels of these radiations especially for prolonged periods.
