Preferred Abstract (Original):
This
study concerns about the effects of Electromagnetic radiation from
antennas on arterial blood pressure (systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP)),
heart pulse rate (HPR), blood oxygen saturation (SPO2%) of children in
schools. The
sample consists of 273 children of both genders (91 female, 182 male),
classified into two groups; 10-12 years and 13-16 years. The sample was
taken from three different schools in Nablus area. The measured power
flux density in schools was 1862µw/m2, 353.166µw/m2 and 18.278µw/m2.
Measurements of blood oxygen saturation, heart pulse rate, arterial
blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) were taken for the selected
sample before and after the exposure to electromagnetic radiation from
antennas. Positive correlation (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) was
found for all measured variables. The statistical results showed that
Pearson correlation coefficient (R) between the dependent variables
(SBP, DBP, HPR, SPO2%) before and after the exposure to electromagnetic
radiations from antennas is strong and the Probability (P) is < 0.05. This
study shows that there is a significant shift of the measured mean
values of arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse
rate, and blood oxygen saturation of the children due to exposure of
electromagnetic radiation from antennas within the normal ranges
