Abstract:
Chronic irradiation by the video terminal of a personal computer leads to the acceleration of sexual maturation and premature termination of the reproductive function, decreases the nocturnal level of melatonin, the content of diene conjugates and schiff bases in blood serum of female rats and does not affect the intensity of blood serum chemiluminescence in male rats. The data obtained indicate that the irradiation by the personal computer video terminal has a marked biological effect and may affect adversely the health of users.
