background: with increased use of computers, exposure to electric and magnetic fields is increasing, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the electric and magnetic field strength in portable computers (laptops) and its relation with eyestrain users. methods: in this cross – sectional study, magnetic and electric fields in 125 laptop computers were measured from 30 cm and 50 cm dista...

background: indisputable population exposure to widespread electromagnetic fields, has grown concerns over the probable health effects of these fields. objective: the present study was aimed to examine the possible effects of 50 hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) exposure on the number and quality of mice blastocysts. materials and methods: in present study, 66 nmri preg...

introduction: there are general concerns about the hazardous impacts of the cell phones radiation on the human health. in this study, the structural and biochemical changes of the mice kidney were assessed after cell phone exposure in. materials and methods: a total of 40 balb/c mice were randomly divided into the control and experimental groups. the experimental group exposed to cell phone dev...

background: exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields is increasingly common, but the potential influence on pregnant women has not been thoroughly investigated. methods: in this case-control study, 58 women who had an unexplained spontaneous abortion at < 14 weeks gestation and 58 matched pregnant women >14 weeks gestation were enrolled in 2012. the women completed the questio...

background: men are unavoidably exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields (emf) generated from various electrical gadgets and from power transmission lines. prostate gland plays an important role in secretion of semen as largest accessory gland of male reproductive system. it seems that protection of this gland against emf is important in spermatogenesis process. objective: the goal of this stu...

introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...

In this research, the effects of electromagnetic fields of various strengths (0, 1 and 2mT) have been investigated on antioxidant enzymes activity in Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.). The dry and wet (soaked for 30 min) Valerian seeds were exposed to electromagnetic fields 30 min per day for 3 days. Each treatment and control groups had 3 replicates and 10 seeds were employed for each replic...

conclusions the study results are indicative of the impact of electromagnetic fields on computer users’ health, and it is thus advisable to avoid leaving computers switched on unnecessarily in addition to observing the minimum distance of 60 cm from computer monitors to control the adverse effects of electromagnetic fields. materials and methods electric and magnetic field intensities were meas...

Introduction: The rapid development of wireless telecommunication technologies over the past decades, has led to significant changes in the exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields. Nowadays, people are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, and power lines. Therefore, th...
