Comparative cyto- and genotoxicity of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz electromagnetic field radiations in root meristems of Allium cepa
2020, Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyCitation Excerpt :The condensation and stickiness of chromosomes, and disruption in mitotic spindle result in metaphasic disturbances. Haider et al. (1994) reported the clastogenic effects of EMF-r and increased micronuclei formation in Tradescantia due to short wave electromagnetic fields (10–21 MHz). Exposure to EMF-r also resulted in formation of chromosome fragments which may be attributed to the inversion in acentric chromosome or the negative effects of reactive oxygen species generated by EMF-r (Tkalec et al., 2007; Gustavino et al., 2016).
A review of the ecological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF)
2013, Environment InternationalCitation Excerpt :The remaining studies focused on abnormalities as a consequence of the exposure, and on the effect on the photosynthesis. The frequency investigated ranged from as low as 10 MHz from an AM CW system (Haider et al., 1994) to 2450 MHz MW CW EMF (Schmutz et al., 1996). Power density ranged from 0.015 mW/cm2 to 50 mW/cm2, therefore lower than the values measured in the previous section on the fruit fly (D. melanogaster, in Section 4.4) and in line with the applications measured for birds and bees (Sections 4.1 and 4.2).
In vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of radiofrequency fields
2010, Mutation Research - Reviews in Mutation ResearchCitation Excerpt :Few studies have been performed in plants. Haider et al. [58] used the Tradescantia-micronucleus test in an in situ experiment to find out whether short-wave electromagnetic fields (10–21 MHz) are genotoxic. Plant cuttings bearing young flower buds were exposed during 30 h on both sides of a slewable curtain antenna (40–170 V m−1 and 90 V m−1), a vertical cage antenna (70 V m−1) and at 200 m from a broadcasting station (1–3 V m−1).
