Effect of Mobile Phone Frequency Radiation on Early Development of Chick Embryo

The countless increase in towers and mobile phones has increased the amount of non-ionizing radio waves in surroundings during last two decades. Several reports have revealed non-desirable after effects of mobile phone frequency electromagnetic field radiations at cellular level. Thus, the present study was designed to evaluate the effect of cellphone frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations on early development of chick embryos. To carry out the studies, zero hour incubated fertilized eggs were divided into four groups including normal control and rest three EMF treated groups, exposed to 900 MHz EMF for different durations and at different power levels. During the study, higher mortality and somite development alteration in exposed groups has been observed as compared to normal control group. Hence, the study concludes that EMF exposure induces detrimental effects on development of chick embryo during early incubation period.
