High-frequency electromagnetic radiation refers to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with relatively short wavelengths and high frequencies including non-ionizing radio waves emitted by cell phones. The widespread use of cell phones has led to an increase in electromagnetic field (EMF) pollution, also known as EMF smog. While many studies have focused on the potential impact of EMF on human health, the effects of cell phone EMF radiation on plant germination, growth and biochemical changes have received less attention. The intensity and frequency of the EMF, as well as the duration of exposure, can influence the observed effects on plants. Additionally, different plant species may respond differently to EMF exposure. Effect of cell phone electromagnetic radiation (power density: 8.47 µW cm−2; 900 MHz band width; for ½, 1 and 2 h) on germination parameters of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was investigated in the present study. Results suggested that exposure to cell phone electromagnetic field radiation (EMF) has a negative impact on seed germination when exposed for 1 hour or more. This finding is consistent with some studies that have reported altered seed germination rates under electromagnetic radiation exposure. Further research is going on for better understanding the mechanisms underlying these effects and to determine the extent to which EMF pollution from cell phones may be impacting the environment and ecosystems.
