TOMSK, Jun 22 – RIA Tomsk. The undergraduate of
Tomsk State University (TSU) conducted an experimental study and found out that
frequent use of a cell phone leads to change in the structure of cells;
especially dangerous a mobile for women and representatives of the Mongoloid
race, the press service of the university reported on Wednesday.
With reference to the author of the study, the
undergraduate of the Biological Institute of TSU Marina Kostromeeva, it's
reported that on the subject of the influence of mobile phones on the human
body scientists have argued for a long time, and a few years ago the World
Health Organization (WHO) referred "mobile phones" to the group 2B,
where the substances, capable to cause cancer, are included. Kostromeeva
conducted her own research.
"The experiment conducted on the basis of
the Siberian State Medical University (SSMU) showed that long-term exposure of
electromagnetic waves leads to change in the structure of buccal epithelium
cells (the inner side of the cheek). Among the revealed pathologies – are the
destruction of cell nucleus, violation of chromosome divergence in cell
division and a number of other abnormalities", – the report says.

It is noted that the experiment involved 100
volunteers – first-year students of the medical university. At the beginning of
the project and a month after its launch, the scrape was taken from the inner
surface of the "leading" cheek often used during the conversation and
from the opposite, "control" one. The results of the study showed an
increase in the frequency of pathologies in the nuclear structure of the cells
of the "leading" cheek.
The experiment also showed that nuclear
pathologies are more common at women – an additional chromosome X is
"guilty", which has a greater propensity to lose and form
micronuclei. Besides gender, ethnicity is important – representatives of the
Mongoloid race are more sensitive to electromagnetic radiation than Caucasians.
Based on the experimental data, the list of
recommendations for mobile users was developed.
