Abstract

Overview

The accelerating usage of mobile phones over the last decade has escalated human health risks. This study specifically explores the impact of 4G mobile phone radiation on developing chicken embryos.

Objectives

  • Examine the effects of 4G mobile phone radiation on chick embryo development.
  • Investigate changes in immunogenic and vascular gene expressions.
  • Assess gross, microscopic, and biochemical alterations.

Methods

Sixty chick embryos were exposed to 4G mobile radiation under controlled conditions, with efforts to simulate realistic scenarios involving mobile phone use near the embryos.

Findings

  • Significant decrease in body weight and length of exposed embryos.
  • Increase in biochemical markers indicating cellular damage.
  • Neurological and liver damages were evident in exposed groups.
  • Changes in gene expressions related with vascular and immune responses.

Conclusion

Exposure to 4G mobile phone radiation could profoundly affect embryonic development by altering crucial physiological and genetic parameters.
