Abstract
- Radio Frequency (RF) radiation effects are strictly relying on few critical factors, ie frequency, period of exposure and distance. Certain frequency ranges are absorbed in body tissue more than the other frequency range. The second factor is the duration of exposure. Where, over the period of time, the body will absorb more RF frequencies which hence will worsened the human tissue. The third factor is the distance of radiating elements from the human body. Hence, with respect to that unawareness of human towards the effects of the RF exposure, this project is carried out to simulate the base station radiation effects on human health. The experiments was conducted using mice as it has the closest DNA structure to human and the frequency used in the experiments was 1.8 GHz (i.e. GSM frequency). The mice were exposed at 1.8 GHz frequency, certain level of intensity and over a period of time. After certain duration, the mice were examined for its cellular changes. Second test conducted was the histopathology to examine the tissue of the mice out from the autopsy. The third test was the blood count on red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin and packed cell volume. From the tests which are conducted at veterinar Lab, there are evidences of degeneration of cells in some organs through histopathological procedures. While in through biochemistry test, the level of blood calcium and phosphorus were decreasing and the level of blood creatinine was increasing. All this evidences show that, exposure to certaion level of frequencies will affect human body. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
