Radiation from a cell phone causes significant changes in a living organism. Pregnant women and children belong to the most sensitive groups of population and are particularly vulnerable to electromagnetic field radiation. We decided to study the concentration of growth hormone 2 (GH-2) in pregnant rats exposed to electromagnetic field (1800 MG/H), what the effect of electromagnetic field as a negative stimulus on offspring weight, number and development would be. Irradiation of rats during pregnancy with an electromagnetic field has shown that GH2 hormone decrease and it causes retardation of offspring, shortening of the limbs and tail of newborn rats compared to controls, and that control rats' eyes open earlier than those of experimental rats and consequently weight loss in rats in the experimental group. The public, especially pregnant women, should be aware that the electromagnetic field negatively affects not only their health, but also the fetus, causing certain changes.
