ABSTRACT

Back ground: Due to the rapped spread and uses of new technology specially cellular phone and its electromagnetic radiation, that may cause immune disorders in youths, especially among young females. The present study designed to determine the immunological disorders which may showed by the interferon β level in the serum that may effected by electromagnetic radiation from the cell phone using by young females. Ninety blood samples collected during the menstrual cycle at days 1 to day 4, for measuring the cytokine interferon β. The participants were divided according to the duration and time of using of the cellular phone into three groups: Group A, were exposed from 1 to 4 hour daily, group B, were exposed from 5 to15 hour daily, and the control group C, were not using the cellular phone. Samples were collected during the period from June 2016 to May 2017. The study showed a significant decrease in the level of serum interferon β in groups A and B in comparisons to the control group C, and to those whom their age were (20-25year ), they showed significant decrease in the concentration of interferon β.
