Impact of Electromagnetic Radiation from 3G Mobile Phone on Brainwaves and Blood Pressure and the Corresponding Emotional Changes

Abstract

Smart Phones are an essential item of thousands of millions of people around the globe. As they are used in closed proximity to the head, the radiation emitted by mobile phone cause greater brain tissue exposure than other Electromagnetic Frequency(EMF) source adopting the radio frequency band. It is common to see that there are increasing public and scientific concern of the usage of mobile phone regarding their possible undetermined biological and neuropsychological hazards such as headache and anxiety. In an attempt to answer these questions, numerous investigations in DNA structure changes, Specific Absorption Rates(SAR), temperature rise in cells, and even brainwaves activities during exposure to the EM waves from mobile were taken place. The relationship between the EM waves from smart phones on human brain wave activities and the impact of psychological changes has been studied for so long and remains ambiguous until now. A key fact has been found from the previous studies is that EMF from a cell phone directly influences the human brain since the EMF were shown to induce afferent electrical signal on nervous system. But most of the studies focus on GSM mobile. Moreover, the direct link to psychological impact has not yet been identified among those studies. This is a pioneer study provides supplementary analysis using blood pressure as an extra parameter apart from brainwaves to monitor if there are any changes in psychological feeling under EM exposure from 3G smartphones.
