Abstract

Overview

The research aimed to evaluate the impact of varying durations of mobile phone radiation exposure on the blood parameters of experimental rats. The study utilized forty mature female rats, divided into two groups for short and long-period exposure experiments.

Findings

• Short exposure duration involved 30, 60, and 90 minutes daily over six weeks, showing increased white blood cells and lymphocytes, particularly notable at 90 minutes.
• Long exposure durations were 2, 4, and 6 hours daily for three months, which resulted in a decrease in neutrophils, especially after 6 hours.
• Significant changes were observed in total red blood corpuscles and packed cell volume under both exposure conditions.
• Mean corpuscles volume, mean corpuscle hemoglobin, mean corpuscle hemoglobin concentration, and red blood cell distribution width standard deviation showed significant decreases.

Conclusion

This study clearly indicates significant alterations in hematological parameters due to both short and long-term exposure to mobile phone radiation. It highlights an increase in white blood cells, lymphocytes, red blood corpuscles, and packed cell volume, while marking a decrease in other critical blood indices.
