Abstract:

The increase in mobile phone users make more people are exposed to radiation of electromagnetic waves of radio frequency (RF).The mobile phone is an electronic device that emits electromagnetic waves in general with the RF 900 MHz and 1800 MHz. The effects of excessive mobile phone use can disrupt the balance of cells in the body. Blood cells are an essential component in the body. Lymphocytes play a role in the body's immune system; one of the lymphocyte cells is T cells thatproduce cytokines from interleukin-2 (IL-2) which function as regulators of activation, growth,and differentiation of lymphocyte cells and immune mediators in the inflammatory process. This research aims to determine the effect of exposure to RF electromagnetic waves against the production of IL-2 by using a type of RF transmitter VSG25A. The measurement of IL-2 production was carried out with two RF 900 MHz and 1800 MHz with distances from 0 cm to 25 cm and 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes for each sample. The results showed that exposure to 900 MHz and 1800 MHzRF electromagnetic waves affected the value of IL-2 production. The production of IL-2 due to exposure to RF electromagnetic waves over a 60-minute exposure time with a 2nd order polynomial curve shows a correlation between the times to IL-2 production. For the relationship of distance to IL-2 production it cannot yet be concluded.
