With the development of advanced telecommunication systems such as cell phones which are used by more than 75% of the world population, nonionic-radiated electromagnetic waves are believed to be among the probable reasons for the increasing number of cases diagnosed with different types of cancers, depression, and hormonal disorders and the growing rate of unwanted abortions.

This study sets out to examine whether taking Vitamin C and doing short-term aerobic exercises could be effective in reducing (up to 65-75% VO2 MAX) such harmful effects. In this experimental study, 24 adult male mice (Balb/C) were divided into 3 groups. The control group consist of 8 mice were kept in normal conditions. The group exposure to Electromagnetic field consists of 8 mice, which were exposed to ELF (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days (4 hours per day), and the group that exposure to Electromagnetic field supplemented with vitamin C, contains 8 mice that were exposed to ELF (50Hz, 4Mt) for 15 days (4 hours per day) and 0.5 cc vitamin C were injected intraperitoneally 7 times. This injection was done 3 times a week. After 15 days, mice were anesthetized by chloroform, following careful dissection, organs were splitted over then this samples were dissected and measured. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA test.

The results of the unilateral variance analysis administered on the collected data show a significant difference among the groups set in the study, indicating that 15 days of exposure to electromagnetic waves (mobile frequency) caused some disorders. The Results also indicate significant differences between pre-test and post-test of all the variables defined for the study.
