“…Dear Editor, With great enthusiasm I read the paper authored by Lewicka et al entitled "Impact of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors on changes in the cellular membrane structure and protective antioxidant effect of vitamin A -In vitro study" [1]. Authors of this paper had evaluated the effect of electromagnetic radiation (1 kHz frequency, 220 V/m electric field) emitted by liquid-crystal-display (LCD) monitors on the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) as a marker of lipid peroxidation.…”

“…Another major shortcoming comes from the distance between the samples and the source of electromagnetic radiation. Lewicka et al [1] state that "Preserving constant conditions of the environment the preparation was exposed to the activity of the electromagnetic field of 1 kHz frequency and 220 V/m intensity (corresponding to a distance of 15 cm from the monitor) for 30 min and 60 min." According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the preferred viewing distance from the eye to the front surface of the computer screen is 50-100 cm (20-40 inches) [3].…”

IJOMEH 2018;31(3) 374 Furthermore, negative effects of EMF in the form of specific diseases are usually observed after a long time of latency and they become apparent often after years and for next generations.In conclusion, we strongly believe that our study and the results of this study may help people to understand the consequences of using electric devices and show some preventive methods how to avoid health risk. known that the strength of the electromagnetic field (EMF) depends on the distance away from its source and the intensity of radiation decreases rapidly with the distance away from this source. This has been confirmed by us and other authors' studies. Chen et al. [4] and Zyss [5], assessing the exposure to EMF emitted from monitors dependent on the distance away from the appliance and also on the exposure time, have come to the conclusion that a man should keep the longest possible distance and shorten the time of exposure while working next to monitors. Due to the fact that the results of scientific studies are ambiguous and that there are few studies carried out on human cells, we decided to investigate the effect of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by LCD monitors on one of the parameters of oxidative stress in human blood platelets. We believe that the assessment of risks from electromagnetic fields based on in vitro studies seems to be one of the most authoritative and reliable methods. It is known that changes taking place on the cellular level account for the response of an organism as a whole. Countless research studies concerning the impact of electromagnetic radiation of diverse parameters on the matter prove the negative effect of this factor on health and life of living organisms. Nevertheless, the results of experiments do not lead to unequivocal conclusions. Despite numerous studies, it was impossible to identify in full statistical correlations between electromagnetic radiation of defined parameters and specific somatic effects in a human organism. In the field of electromagnetic radiation it is extremely difficult to demonstrate that there are cause-and-effect relationships. We, as researchers conducting studies on electromagnetic radiation need to remember that the interpretation of the observed phenomena is difficult because the effects of the activity of electromagnetic fields are usually weak, passing, difficult to reconstruct and repeat.

Fermented soybean lipids (FSE-C) is an extract enriched in active lipid classes. To explore whether FSE-C can alleviate cognitive damage triggered by the exposure to microwave radiation through regulating lipid metabolism, we employed lipidomic profiling based on a UPLC-MS to investigate differential lipid metabolites in the serum and hippocampus of rats. The results showed that orally administered FSE-C could protect from cognitive damage in microwave-induced rats. Serum lipidomics indicated that FSE-C effectively facilitated the recovery of 43 differential lipid metabolites including 6 phosphatidylcholines (PCs), 5 phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), 1 phosphatidylinositol, 3 lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), 6 lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPEs), and 22 triglycerides (TGs), which was consistent with the analysis of serum TG levels. Moreover, FSE-C positively coordinated hexacosanoic acid, 2 PCs, 4 sphingomyelins (SMs), and 11 TGs, through the hippocampal lipidomics. Collectively, these findings suggested that phospholipid and TG metabolisms were significantly modified in microwave-exposed rats. TGs may be regarded as potential biomarkers to further investigate and evaluate the roles and functions of FSE-C on the attenuation of cognitive damage induced by microwave radiation.
