Abstract

Abstract Overview

Introduction: The widespread use of mobile phones has led to concerns about the potential health impacts of Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) on biological tissues. This study delves into the interactions of RF fields with developing embryonic brains.

Aim

The study aims to evaluate Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) damage in the brains of chick embryos following extended exposure to radiation from 2G and 3G cell phones.

Materials and Methods

• Study Groups: Fertilized hen eggs were categorized into three groups: one exposed to 2G radiation, another to 3G, and a control group without exposure.
• Procedure: Exposure lasted 72 minutes daily, after which the embryos were analyzed from the 9th-12th day using the alkaline comet assay to assess DNA damage.
• Statistical Analysis: Data was evaluated using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

Results

Significant findings include increased comet length and tail moment in embryos exposed to 2G and 3G radiation, indicative of pronounced DNA damage, especially with 3G radiation levels.

Conclusion

This research confirms that RFR from cell phones significantly increases DNA damage in the developing brains of chick embryos, with more severe effects observed in those exposed to 3G radiation.
