Abstract
Introduction: Recent years have witnessed a marked increase in use of Wi-Fi devices in daily life. This new technology was approved to cause many health hazards.
Aim of the work: to investigate the histological structure changes occurred in the lung of the adult male albino rats after short and long time exposure of Wi-Fi router devices.
Materials and method: This study was carried out on 30 adult male albino rats. They were exposed to the 2.45 GHz radiation from Wi-Fi router device which was placed at 25 cm from the animals. Animals were divided into 3 groups 10 rats each: Group I (control): Rats were isolated in a room away from router device. Group II (6 hours): Rats were exposed to router device for 6 hours per day for 30 days. Group III (24 hours): Rats were exposed to router device for 24 hours per day for 30 days. Histological, immune-histochemical (Caspase 3 & iNOS antibodies), and morphometric studies were done. Results: Both 6 hours and 24 hours groups showed marked histological and immune-histochemical changes in the lung tissues when compared with the control group, however, changes in the 24 hours group is more severe when compared with the 6 hours group.
Conclusion: Nowadays, the utilization of Wi-Fi routers devices becomes unavoidable in work and inside our homes. So, if we fail to control the radiation exposure time many people are likely to become sick. From this study, the exposure to such devices can cause bad effects on the lung tissue which increases with prolonged exposure time. So we should control the usage of these devices to save our health.
