Abstract

Overview

The current study offers insights into the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic wave exposure from internet towers, focusing on oxidative stress markers in Samarra city.

Findings

  • The study sampled 43 individuals exposed to electromagnetic frequencies and 20 control subjects not exposed.
  • Age of participants ranged from 20 to 35 years.
  • Significant biochemical changes were noted, including increased levels of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, and decreased levels of glutathione (GSH) in exposed individuals.
  • There was also an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and peroxynitrite (ONOO) concentrations in exposed subjects compared to controls.

Conclusion

There is a clear indication that exposure to electromagnetic waves from internet towers could significantly impact antioxidant levels and potentially contribute to oxidative stress, underlining the importance of further research and precautionary measures to mitigate health risks.
