Abstract

Overview

The head, commonly exposed during mobile phone conversations, is highly susceptible to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). This study explores how RFR at 900, 1800, and 2100 MHz impacts the interstitial space between brain cells in rats.

Methodology

Using a sample of 28 Wistar Albino rats divided into four groups — sham control, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2100 MHz exposure groups — this research examined changes over a period of one month with 3 hours of RFR exposure daily.

Findings

• Exposure to RFR increased interstitial cell space in the brain.
• Maximum changes were observed at 1800 MHz in the right lobe and 2100 MHz in the left lobe.

Conclusion

The study reveals significant expansion of interstitial space due to RFR exposure. Delving deeper into this phenomenon could have potential implications for treating certain brain diseases. However, the risk of RFR inducing brain tumors is a critical concern, advocating for more comprehensive future studies to better understand these risk dynamics.
