“…It was demonstrated that the results (and conclusions) strongly depend on the method of analysis. Analysed in the traditional fashion, that is, not controlling for the nested structure of the data, no significant differences could be demonstrated (see table 2), a finding which is in accordance with several other studies (97,(101)(102)(103)(104). However, when the data were analysed with an appropriate multilevel statistical model, 'radiation' proved to be a significant predictor of the alpha, slow beta, fast beta, and gamma frequency bands over almost all brain regions ( Figure.…”

Background of the mobile phone 'We won!' shouted the Greek soldier Pheidippides in 490 BC after he had run nonstop from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens. According to legend, after delivering the message to the people of Athens, Pheidippides collapsed and died. In those days, quickly sending a message over a large distance was not easy, not without apparent danger to the messenger's health or life! Communication is an essential part of (human) life, and thus, many studies and experiments have been conducted to develop easier ways of sending a message from one place to another. After centuries of mainly direct verbal, nonverbal and written communication, Scottish inventor Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876. It was the first device which enabled people to speak to each other across large distances. Appropriately enough, the word telephone originates from the Greek language: τήλε (tèle) means 'far' and φωνή (phónè) means 'sound'. The traditional telephone was (and is) physically connected to the telephone network with the use of wires. Soon, the need for a portable phone arose so that people could talk to others from anywhere. The first mobile phone call with an apparatus which is comparable to what is now known as the mobile phone was made in 1973. Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive, walked ...

“…The sensitivity of various physiological effects and performance measures in the study of biological effects of electromagnetic fields are observed. [6] The effects investigated in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)-EMF and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)-EMF are tested. Significant changes in the measured parameters are not produced when compared to sham exposure which is the control group used to simulate the environmental conditions of exposed samples in the absence of exposure.…”

Tiny electrical current exists in the human body due to the chemical reactions that occur as part of the normal bodily functions, even in the absence of external electric fields so that exposure of external radiation causes high impact to the nerves relaying signals by transmitting electric impulses. The heart is electrically active and its actions are measured using an electrocardiogram. Even a slight variation in heart rate may cause serious effects on the human body. Low-frequency electric fields influence the human body just as they influence any other material made up of charged particles. When electric fields act on conductive materials, they influence the distribution of electric charges at their surface. Low-frequency magnetic fields induce circulating currents within the human body. The strength of these currents depends on the intensity of the external magnetic field. Due to the invention of information technology, the communication devices are more in use resulting in overall emission of radioactive waves affecting heart rate. It depends on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) which is the measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field. Heart rate variability is measured by ECG and the results are analysed.

Objective: Extensive use of mobile phones has been accompanied by a common public debate about possible adverse effects on human health. No study has been published so far to establish any association between the fastest growing innovation of mobile phone and fasting blood glucose. The aim was to determine the effects of exposure to electromagnetic field radiation generated by mobile phones on fasting blood glucose in Wistar Albino rats. Materials and Methods: 40 Male Albino rats (Wistar Strain) were divided into 5 equally numerous groups. Group A served as the control one, group B received mobile phone radiation for less than 15 min/day, group C: 15-30 min/day, group D: 31-45 min/day, and group E: 46-60 min/day for a total period of 3 months. Fasting blood glucose was determined by using Spectrophotometer and serum insulin by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The Homeostatic Model (HOMA-B) was applied for the assessment of β-cell function and (HOMA-IR) for resistance to insulin. Results: Wister Albino rats exposed to mobile phone radiation for longer than 15 min a day for a total period of 3 months had significantly higher fasting blood glucose (p < 0.015) and serum insulin (p < 0.01) compared to the control group. HOMA-IR for insulin resistance was significantly increased (p < 0.003) in the groups that were exposed for 15-30 and 46-60 min/day compared to the control rats. Conclusion: The results of the present study show an association between long-term exposure to activated mobile phones and increase in fasting blood glucose and serum insulin in Albino rats.
