Effects of Mobile Use on Selected Hematological Parameters in Female Medical Students
Dr. Mrs. Anuya Joshi, Dr. Mrs. Kanchan Wingkar, Dr. Anand Joshi
Abstract: The mobile phone industry has been one of the fastest growing industries in modern history. Today, India has million mobile phone users, and mobile phones account for 88 % of all telecommunication users. Mobile phones are low-powered radiofrequency transmitters, operating at frequencies between 450 and 2700 MHz with peak powers in the range of 0.1 to 2 watts. Concerns about the possible adverse health effects of mobile phones (MP) have increased along with the expansion of their use. In present study female medical students were divided in to lowest exposure group Group A: (300000 minutes and below. ) and highest exposure Group B: (1500000 and above minutes. ) and following hematological parameters values were measured and compared. Total Hemoglobin gm. /100ml of blood. , Total red blood cell count/cubic mm. Total white cell count/cubic mm. , Total platelet count. /cubic mm. Difference between group A and Group B was significant for total WBC. (P value < 0.05). No significant differences were observed for other parameters studied between all the groups (P value> 0.05. ) Conclusion: Further research on large sample size and controlled exact exposure to EMF and more number of years exposure to mobile EMF. is required to come to conclusion.
