“…Recent investigations conducted reveals that long-term usage of mobile phones can damage health (Smitha et al, 2013). It is associated with headache and dizziness (Agarwal et al, 2008), decrease in sperm count and mobility (Avendano et al, 2012), disruption of sleep and circadian rhythm (Singh and Pati, 2016), memory loss (Cech et al, 2008), decreased immune function, higher blood pressure and reduces DNA repair capacity (Tyagi et al, 2011). With increase mobile phone usage, D'Costa et al (2003) and Kramarenko and Tan U (2003) observed alternation in electroencephalograph pattern and neuroendrocrine functions.…”

The main objective was to determine the effect of mobile phone radiation on general health and electrolytes among students who use mobile phones. A questionnaire was designed and applied to 103 healthy and 36 deaf female students to select cases that meeting the inclusion criteria. For assessment of salivary parameters, the participants were classified into three groups. Group I was the control group, which included 17 deaf students. Group II was healthy students who have mobile phone for less than 5 years. Group III was healthy students who have mobile phone for 5 years or more. The results showed that the participants who use mobile phone had several problems in their health including dry mouth, bad odor from mouth, drooling of saliva, as well as ear and eye pain. The participants who use mobile phone complained of headache, anxiety and forgetfulness as compared to deaf participants. The study showed that there was no significant difference between pH and flow rate of saliva in all tested groups. This study has also shown that salivary level of Na+ and K+ were significantly lower in mobile phone users when compared to non-users of mobile phone.
