View Original AbstractMobile phone radiation damaged blood cells and increased blood thickness in rats, potentially affecting circulation.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and examined what happened to their blood. They found that the radiation damaged blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and made the blood thicker and more viscous. These changes could potentially affect blood circulation and overall health.
Why This Matters
This study adds to growing evidence that mobile phone radiation can affect blood at the cellular level. The finding that EMF exposure damages multiple types of blood cells and increases blood viscosity is particularly concerning because healthy blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. While the study lacks specific exposure details that would help us compare to everyday phone use, the biological effects observed align with other research showing cellular damage from radiofrequency radiation. What this means for you is that your blood may be one of the biological systems affected by regular mobile phone exposure, though we need more research to understand the long-term health implications of these changes.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
Study Details
Effects of electromagnetic radiation produced by mobile phone on blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hemolysis, Osmotic fragility, and blood components of rats have been investigated.
Experimental results show that there are significant change on blood components and its viscosity wh...
