  The effects of moderate and extremely high exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phone on the activity of RBC-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated. AChE activity was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy by Ellman modified method. The results demonstrated that the prolonged exposure (3-5 hrs) to electromagnetic radiation increased enzyme activity while the main inactivation took place in moderate exposure (1-2 hrs) among young male undergraduate students (18-25 year ages). In conclusion, according to the changes observed in the AChE activity, it is proposed that the increasing duration of electromagnetic radiation exposure causes an increase in cholinergic activity. ..
