The effect of low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on serum paraoxanase (PON1) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels
Abstract
Background: This study was carried out on individuals using constantly blow-dryers and hair-dryers in
hair-dressing saloons. We aimed to investigate the effects of ELF-EMF caused by blow/hair dryers on PON1
and MDA serum levels of users.
Method: The study was conducted on 32 individuals (mean age; 24± 6) selected randomly from among
those constantly using blow/hair dryers in haircutting and hairdressing saloons.
The subjects included into the study were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=16, 8 males, 8 females using
hairdresser) as experimental group; Group 2 (n=16, 8 males, 8 females non-using hairdresser) as control
group.
Results: In the study, PON 1 and MDA values of the subjects ( Males and Females) in control and
experimental groups were compared separately by taking the same-genders into account.
PON 1 levels for males in control group were found as mean±std=52,71±14,43; and for males in
experimental group as mean±std=40.32±6.18, p < 0.043. MDA levels for males in control group were found
as mean±std =14.37±4.12, for males in experimental group as mean±std=18.17±3.49, p < 0.05.
PON 1 levels for females in control group were measured as mean±std=67.87±8.10, for females in
experimental group as mean±std=32.67±8.01, p < 0.0001. MDA levels for females in control group were
determined as mean±std=21.12±6.58, for females in experimental group as mean±std=18.42±4.08, p < 0.34.
In the study, it was observed that PON 1 and MDA values measured for those individuals who constantly
use blow/hair dryers and thus are exposed to ELF-EMF varied considerably.
Conclusion: It was concluded that individuals who work constantly with electric appliances producing
electromagnetic field should be informed of the hazards of these machines, and preventive measures should
be taken against these hazards
