Abstract
Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic radiation EMR using mobile radiation 900 MHz ( Nokia 3310, power 0.96 W/kg , intensity 1.3 × 10-4 W/m2 ) on some hematological parameters: White blood cell (WBC), Red blood cell (RBC), Hemoglobin (HB), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and Platelet count (PLT), Lymphocyte (LYM), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) , blood film, and osmotic fragility. Thirty adult male albino mice (25-30 gm weight) divided into three equal groups; A, B and C. Group A used as a control one, group B was exposed to EMR for 1hr ⁄day and Group C was exposed to EMR for 2hr ⁄day. The exposure time was three weeks the results showed a reduced number of red blood cells and hematocrit % for groups B and C. However, it was important to observe that the number of WBCs and LYM % increased and therefore reduced the damaging effect. Also, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was faster than that of the control group. These results were supported by histology of blood cells, where irregularities and deformations in RBCs membranes have occurred. The osmotic fragility test showed a shift towards the low concentration of water after exposure to mobile radiation which indicates changes in the membrane permeability. We conclude that mobile radiation has harmful effects on the blood parameters of exposed mice.
