Effect of Electromagnetic Field on Red Blood Cells of Adult Male Swiss albino Mice

ABSTRACT: The harmful effect of electromagnetic radiations emitted from VDU (video display unit) on red blood cells of Swiss albino mice, 20 cm away, at power density of 0.295 w/cm2 was investigated, at the interval of 7, 14, 28, 42 and 56days. The result showed altered blood smear, morphology and scanning electron micrograph of RBCs. red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration was reduced up to day 42 of irradiations. The exposed mice consume less feed and water and have reduced body weight. All the changes normalized in late effect group. Collectively these findings indicate that EMF issuing from VDU is harmful and adversely affects biological system
