The effects of electromagnetic field exposure at short and long term of 900 mhz frequency emitted from mobile phones on rat bone tissue Cep telefonlarindan yayilan 900 mhz frekans elektromanyetik alana kisa ve uzun dönem maruziyetin siçanlarin kemik dokusu üzerine etkisi

Objectives: There are increasing number of evidence that exposure to the radiofrequency fields from mobile phones could affect human health. An electromagnetic field (EMF) has some biological effects on the behavior of the cell population of bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 900 MHz EMF emitted by mobile phones on the bone mineral density (BMD) of rat bone tissue. Materials and methods: This study was done in Suleyman Demirel University, Turkey in 2006 . A total of 30 male rats were divided in three groups. EMF with 1±04 mW/ cm 2 power and 900 MHz frequency: Group I (n=10) was exposed to short term (ST) 900 MHz EMF for 30 min/day,
