Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the influence of 4G cell phone radiation on Swiss albino mice, reflecting the rising public concern over the health implications of mobile technology.

Methodology

Thirty male Swiss albino mice were divided into three groups: one control and two exposed to 40 and 60 minutes of radiation daily for 60 days. Parameters measured included leukocyte count, erythrocyte count, hemoglobin percentage, and serum creatinine levels. Histological assessments were also conducted on kidney and testis tissues.

Findings

• Significant reduction in body weight and total erythrocyte count in radiation-exposed groups compared to control.
• Increases in leukocyte count, hemoglobin %, and serum creatinine levels were noted under exposure conditions.
• Notable histopathological changes were evident in both the kidneys and testes of exposed mice, particularly in those exposed for 60 minutes.

Conclusion

Exposure to fourth-generation cell phone radiation has detrimental effects on the blood hemostasis and can lead to inflammation in the kidney and testis tissues. There is a strong need to raise awareness about the potential health risks associated with mobile phone use.
