This is regarding the article ‘Mobile phone radiation induces sedation in Periplaneta americana’. The authors have used 15 adult male cockroaches kept in a 30 x 18 cm box for exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by a cell phone. The phone was kept in the box and made 1 min call every 5 min for 1, 3 or 6 h. Several assays were performed and the authors concluded ‘the present study clearly explained the physiological and biochemical basis of adverse effect of EMR and is a warning for the judicious use of mobile phones’.

The phone was kept in the box and made 1 min call every 5 min for 1, 3 or 6 h. Several assays were performed and the authors concluded ‘the present study clearly explained the physiological and biochemical basis of adverse effect of EMR and is a warning for the judicious use of mobile phones’.
