Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of RF-EMR and nicotine exposure on cultured human fetal cells. Amniotic fluid samples were collected from 48 pregnant women and were determined by flow cytometric analysis. A significant increase in late apoptotic cells (UR) was observed in the RF-EMR, nicotine and RF-EMR+ nicotine groups (p<0.01, 0.001, 0.001, respectively), along with significant changes in viable (LL), early apoptotic (UR) and necrotic (LR) cells (p>0.001). The study results indicated that fetus exposure to 900 MHz RF-EMR (i.e., radiation from cell phones) might not be as detrimental as previously assumed. Exposure to nicotine and to 900 MHz RF-EMR+ nicotine resulted in a significant increase in necrotic and apoptotic cells. The results also suggested that combined exposure to tobacco and cell phone radiation might lead to more harmful effects on fetuses.
