ABSTRACT: Multiple state-of-the-art techniques, such as
multi-dimensional micro-imaging, fast multi-channel
micro-spetrophoto-metry, and dynamic micro-imaging analysis,
were used to dynamically investigate various effects of
cell under the 900MHzelectromagnetic
radiation. Cell changes in shape, size under different power density electromagnetic waves radiation
were presented in this paper. Experimental results indicated that the
isolated human red blood cells (RBCs) do not have
obviously real-time responses to the ultra-low density (15 μW/cm2,
31 μW/cm2) electromagnetic wave radiation when the radiation time is
not more than 30 minutes; however, the cells do have significant reactions in
shape, size to the electromagnetic waves radiation with power densities of 1
mW/cm2and 5 mW/cm2. The data reveals the possible
influences and statistical relationships among living human cell functions,
radiation amount and exposure time with high-frequency electromagnetic waves.
The results of this study may be significant on protection of human being and
other living organisms against possible radiation affections of the
high-frequency electromagnetic waves.
