Effects of Mobile Electromagnetic Radiation on the Function of Tissues and Organs of ‎Organisms

The importance and place of mobile phones in today's human life is not hidden from anyone. Concerns about the increasing use of them in different ages from children to adults and the increase in the duration of exposure of these groups to electromagnetic waves (mobile phone radiation) caused by them, which is mainly in the range of 900-1800 MHz, concerns much has been made about their side effects in recent years.  Due to the importance of the subject of this review study, the effects of mobile phone radiation on different parts of the body such as the brain, heart and other tissues.

The present review study was performed by selecting appropriate keywords and searching for experimental and applied studies from Pubmed and Google scholar databases. In this paper, the effects of mobile phone radiation emitted from a mobile phone on brain function, cardiac evaluation parameters, their effects on testicular and prostate tissue in male rats, effects on movement, bioavailability and DNA integrity of human sperm and changes  Pulmonary uptake of MIBI -   was investigated in male rats.

Eleven articles were selected based on inclusion criteria from 2011 to 2021. These studies were mainly experimental studies that examined the effects of mobile electromagnetic radiation on the function of tissues and organs of organisms.

Studies show that cell phone-induced electromagnetic waves affect brain tissue temperature, neuron density, and nucleus diameter in mouse hippocampal neurons, gene expression levels in the rat brain and some brain-related activities such as cumulative response, dependence, and extent. Noise in irradiated chickens, cardiac parameters, sinus arrhythmia, testicular and prostate tissue structure in male rats as well as movement, survival and DNA integrity of human sperm, pulmonary absorption of MIBI -   in rats  affects males and blood factors of mice.a
