800x600 as a tendency to use new technologies, gadgets such as laptop computers are becoming more popular among students, teachers, businessmen and office workers. today laptops are a great tool for education and learning, work and personal multimedia. millions of men, especially those in the reproductive age, are frequently using their laptop computers on the lap (thigh). over the past several...

background : substantial evidence indicates that exposure to electromagnetic fields (emf) above certain levels can affect human health through triggering some biological responses. according to who, short-term exposure to emf at the levels present in the home/environment do not cause any apparent detrimental effects in healthy individuals. however, now, there is a debate on whether long-term ex...

800x600 background: nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy.   it has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which ...

background and objectives: electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields can act as stress factors with different effects on biological systems. due to the nutritional and medicinal values, and the increasing electromagnetic radiations, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the developmental stages and cytotoxic properties of okra. methods: b...

The possible risks of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields for the human body is a growing concern for our society. We have previously shown that weak pulsed microwaves give rise to a significant leakage of albumin through the blood-brain barrier. In this study we investigated whether a pathologic leakage across the blood-brain barrier might be combined with damage to the neurons. Three group...

allium cepa bulbs were germinated in pots for three days on treatment area on which 380 kv high voltage power lines are passing. ten bulbs were set up for each treatment area (0 m (meter), 10 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100+ m for control from power lines). triticum baeoticum boiss. subsp. baeoticum seeds were collected at same distance from power lines on planted field. ten seeds from each area were ger...

background: the rapidly increasing use of mobile phones has led to public concerns about possible health effects of these popular communication devices. this study is an attempt to investigate the effects of radiofrequency (rf) radiation produced by gsm mobile phones on the insulin release in rats. methods: forty two female adult sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. group1 w...

introduction : the  rapid development  of wireless telecommunication technologies  over the past decades, has led to significant changes in the exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fi elds. nowadays, people are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fi elds such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, cordless phones, wi-fi routers, and power lines. therefore,...
