The advent of Wi-Fi connected high technology devices in executing day-to-day activities is fast evolving especially in developing countries of the world and hence the need to assess its safety among others. The present study was conducted to investigate the injurious effect of radiofrequency emissions from installed Wi-Fi devices in brains of young male rats. Animals were divided into four equal groups; group 1 served as control while groups 2, 3, and 4 were exposed to 2.5 Ghz at intervals of 30, 45, and 60 consecutive days with free access to food and water ad libitum. Alterations in harvested brain tissues were confirmed by histopathological analyses which showed vascular congestion and DNA damage in the brain was assayed using agarose gel electrophoresis. Histomorphometry analyses of their brain tissues showed perivascular congestion and tissue damage as well.
Wi-Fi 连接的高科技设备在日常活动中的应用正在迅速发展，尤其是在世界上的发展中国家，因此需要评估其安全性等方面。本研究旨在调查安装的 Wi-Fi 设备在雄性幼鼠大脑中产生的射频辐射的伤害作用。动物被分为四组，每组 5 只；第 1 组为对照组，而第 2、3 和 4 组分别在 30、45 和 60 天的连续时间内，间隔 2.5GHz 暴露，自由摄取食物和水。通过组织病理学分析证实了收获的脑组织的变化，该分析显示血管充血和脑组织的 DNA 损伤，使用琼脂糖凝胶电泳测定。它们脑组织的组织形态计量学分析显示血管周围充血和组织损伤。
