Abstract

Overview

Morphofunctional disorders in aquatic protozoa, specifically Spirostomum ambiguum infusorians, after varied durations of EM exposure are of significant concern due to their implications on cellular functions. This study evaluates the effects following exposures of 30, 60, and 360 minutes to an electromagnetic field at a 1 GHz frequency and an energy flow density of 50 μW/cm².

Findings

  • Significant morphometric disorders were observed, directly correlated with diminished mobility of protozoa.
  • The study uses intravital computer morphometry to analyze these disturbances, showcasing its potential for early diagnosis in radiation-induced effects from mobile communication fields.

Conclusion

The findings recommend intravital computer morphometry as a diagnostic tool for early detection of radiation effects, such as reduced spermatozoa motility, due to mobile communication EM fields.
