PURPOSE:
The method is designed to assess the influence of harmful environmental factors (electromagnetic field and chemicals) on the human body through the assessment of their impact on the state of the cells of the human body.
DESCRIPTION:
The essence of the method is to record the response of individual cells of the buccal epithelium (epithelium of the cheek) of a person, taken from the body, to the action of harmful environmental factors. Environmental factors can be both electromagnetic fields and chemical factors. The cell responds to the influence of harmful factors by forming heterochromatin granules in the cell nucleus, which, after staining with orcein, can be seen under a light microscope and counted. After counting the number of heterochromatin granules in 30-cell nuclei, the average value of the indicator and its statistical error are determined. An increase in the number of heterochromatin granules in the nucleus is a quantitative characteristic of the negative effect of the medium on the cell, and therefore on the human body.
ADVANTAGES:
The implementation of the method is simple and short – the analysis of one sample of cells (30 nuclei) lasts 15-20 minutes. Cell sampling can be carried out in the field with further research in the laboratory.
RECOMMENDED FIELD OF APPLICATION:
The method can be used in biology, ecology, electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, biochemistry, biophysics to monitor and determine the dosage of the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body.
RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH:
Revision needed.
