Exposure to 2100 MHz electromagnetic field radiation increased oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzyme activity in onion roots.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed onion roots to 2100 MHz electromagnetic field radiation for 1, 2, and 4 hours in a single day. The exposure increased levels of malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide anion, indicating oxidative stress. Antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase showed increased activity in response.

Study Details

The present study investigated the role of cell phone EMF-r in inciting oxidative damage in onion (Allium cepa) roots at a frequency of 2100 MHz.

Onion roots were exposed to continuous wave homogenous EMF-r for 1, 2 and 4 h for single day and gen...

The results showed that EMF-r exposure enhanced the content of MDA, H2O2 and O2radical dot−. Also, t...

The study concluded that 2100 MHz cell phone EMF-r incite oxidative damage in onion roots by altering the oxidative metabolism.
