Abstract
The advent of Wi-Fi connected high technology devices in executing day-to-day activities is fast evolving especially in developing countries of the world and hence the need to assess its safety among others. Th present study was conducted to investigate the injurious effect of radiofrequency emissions from installed Wi-Fi devices in brains of young male rats. Animals were divided into four equal groups; group 1 served as control while groups 2, 3, and 4 were exposed to 2.5 Ghz at intervals of 30, 45, and 60 consecutive days with free access to food and water ad libitum. Alterations in harvested brain tissues were confimed by histopathological analyses which showed vascular congestion and DNA damage in the brain was assayed using agarose gel
electrophoresis. Histomorphometry analyses of their brain tissues showed perivascular congestion and tissue damage as well
