“…The International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization reviewed and characterized exposure to radiofrequency radiation associated with mobile phone use as a Group 2B carcinogen, i.e., possibly carcinogenic to humans. Mobile phoneinduced EMF is in the same category as the pesticide DDT, burning coal, gasoline engine exhaust and dry cleaning chemicals (Baan et al 2014Morgan et al 2014). Exposure to environmental agents from the thymus in two rats in the EMFG-N group.…”

We investigated the effects of a 900 Megahertz (MHz) electromagnetic field (EMF), applied during the prenatal period, on the spleen and thymus of 21-day-old male rat pups. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control and EMF groups. We applied 900 MHz EMF for 1 h/day to the EMF group of pregnant rats. Newborn male rat pups were removed from their mothers and sacrificed on postnatal day 21. Spleen and thymus tissues were excised and examined. Compared to the control group, thymus tissue malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in the group exposed to EMF, while glutathione levels were significantly decreased. Increased malondialdehyde and glutathione levels were observed in splenic tissue of rats exposed to EMF, while a significant decrease occurred in superoxide dismutase values compared to controls. Transmission electron microscopy showed pathological changes in cell morphology in the thymic and splenic tissues of newborn rats exposed to EMF. Exposure to 900 MHz EMF during the prenatal period can cause pathological and biochemical changes that may compromise the development of the male rat thymus and spleen.

“…We kept the exposure to field characteristics identical as in typical use (under the ICNIRP limits (ICNIRP, 2009)). The dielectric properties vary over age, tissue of interest, body mass index (Christ et al, 2010;Christopoulou and Nikita, 2008;Davis et al, 2013;Gandhi, 2002;Martens, 2005;Morgan et al, 2014;Peyman, 2011;Wiart et al, 2011). Thus, it was assumed that the variability of the participants' anthropometric characteristics and the plurality of cellular phone models used as well as the surrounding reflecting objects were close to real life conditions and would represent realistic observations.…”

“…Among the human beings, children and fetus are especially prone to radiation. Major sources of radiation exposure to this population group include diagnosis instruments used in hospitals, communication systems, dryers, etc 3,4 . This paper has been aimed to study the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health, especially mother, fetus and children.…”

Human population throughout the world is surrounded by an invisible continuously increasing web of radiation, originating from both natural and non-natural sources. Radiation is of two types: ionizing and non-ionizing depending upon their energy. The exposure to radiation has increased many folds in the recent years with the invention and launch of many electromagnetic devices. Exposure to ionizing radiations has been found to cause severe abnormalities in human beings such as DNA damage, cancer, infertility, electro-hypersensitivity, etc. which however is of different intensity depending upon the age group of human beings, with children and fetus being the maximum sufferers because of immature immune system and also various other cells in their body are still at the stage of division and differentiation. Present study has been aimed to investigate a generalized preliminary idea of various health related complications caused by ionizing radiations to human beings with special emphasis to fetus and children.
