The effects of moderate and extremely high exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phone on the activity of RBC-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated. AChE activity was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy by Ellman modified method. The results demonstrated that the prolonged exposure (3-5 hrs) to electromagnetic radiation increased enzyme activity while the main inactivation took place in moderate exposure (1-2 hrs) among young male undergraduate students (18-25 year ages). In conclusion, according to the changes observed in the AChE activity, it is proposed that the increasing duration of electromagnetic radiation exposure causes an increase in cholinergic activity.
