Effect of 2G and 3G Cell Phone Radiation on Developing Liver of Chick Embryo - Comparative Study

Abstract

Abstract Summary

Introduction

The increasing evidence of adverse health impacts from Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) emitted by cell phones and base stations has heightened public concern. This study aims to delve into how RFR affects developing tissues in embryos, potentially differing from adult interactions due to size and tissue composition.

Aim

This research evaluates tissue and DNA damage in the liver of chick embryos after prolonged exposure to radiation from 2G and 3G cell phones.

Materials and Methods

• Fertilized chick embryos were divided into four groups, exposed to different conditions of 2G and 3G radiation.
• Embryos were assessed for structural liver changes and DNA damage using histological methods and alkaline comet assay technique.

Results

Key findings indicate significant structural damage and DNA alterations within the liver of embryos exposed to 2G and 3G radiation, with more severe effects observed in the 3G exposure group.

Conclusion

The study underscores the imperative of raising public awareness about the potential health risks posed by prolonged exposure to cell phone radiation, especially concerning developing tissues.
