An array of occupationally exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields and light at night on melatonin and related oxidative stress in human subjects

During one decade, an increasing percentage of world population has to be attributed array environmental, health and lifestyle factors. The potential effect extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) emitted from electrical various devices in the occupational environment light at night (LAN) elicit biological response are a major concern for public scientists. Controversial genetic oxidative stress effects have been reported by these polluted environments. Hence this study was undertaken with purpose evaluate melatonin hormone markers exposure workers along cumulative smoking drinking. subjects (n=342) included shift more than 2 years age, gender, socioeconomic status matched non-exposure controls (n=150). Self-reported symptoms were sought using questionnaire. Plasma Melatonin evaluated radioimmuno assay. Oxidative estimated measuring plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), serum nitric oxide (NO) erythrocyte catalase levels. When data exposed analyzed, significant decrease levels observed. MDA demonstrated increase sub-group. NO shows increase. chemical agent or environmental pollutant could possible contributor enhancing adverse fields. Certain caution is necessary.
