Effects of RF/MW Exposure from Mobile-phone Base-Stations on the Growth of Green Mint Plant using Chl a Fluorescence Emission

Abstract

We report on the effects of RF/MW on plants. Green Mint plant exposed to different levels of radiation (from 0.5 to 10.5 µW/cm 2 ) for this purpose. A USB2000 spectrophotometer was used to record fluorescence signals from intact leaves. Spectroscopic data (P.I.R and A.R) together with vegetative data (leaf dimensions and weight), revealed stressing effects on plant due to RF/MW in all groups except the control which was free of exposure. .
