Intensive use of instruments functioning on the basis of wireless data transfer (mobile phones, radars, Wi-Fi and other) significantly contribute to production of artificial radio-frequency nonionizing electromagnetic radiation (RF-NIER). At present, there are available many scientific outputs confirming the adverse effects of RF-NIER on various tissues and organs of experimental animals exposed postnatally to such radiation. However, the studies devoted to the influence of prenatal exposure to RF-NIER on the development of an individual are sporadic. It is well known
That the developing organism is much more sensitive to the action of various environmental factors including RF-NIER and thus we consider the submitted project exceedingly topical. This project is a follow-up to our previous research of the influence of RF-NIER on adult and juvenile rats. With respect to the new trend related to introduction of 5G technologies to practice, we would like to focus on potential effects of RF-NIER of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies on the development of chicken embryos. By means of modern methods we intend to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the structure and ultrastructure of selected organs of chicken embryo and the chorioallantoic membrane.
