Abstract

Overview

The recent surge in concern and media coverage about the effects of smartphone radiation on biological systems has driven a study to explore these potential risks. Particularly, the focus has been on the impact of 4G cellular network emissions.

Findings

• This investigation centered on hematological changes such as Total leukocyte count, Total erythrocyte count, and hemoglobin percentage.
• Biochemical changes observed include alterations in Serum creatinine levels.
• Changes in histopathology in the kidney and testis of Swiss albino mice were also examined.
• Exposure groups were divided into two, one experiencing 40 minutes and the other 60 minutes of daily radiation, compared to a control group.
• Significant results showed a decrease in body weight and erythrocyte count while leukocyte counts, hemoglobin percentages, and serum creatinine levels increased in exposure groups versus the control.
• Morphological changes in the kidney and testis tissues due to prolonged exposure were evident.

Conclusion

The study concludes that the exposure to radiation from fourth-generation cell phones can disrupt blood hemostasis and cause inflammation in kidney and testis tissues in mice. These findings underline the importance of public awareness on the health risks posed by mobile phone radiation.
