The non-ionising electromagnetic fields like Wi-Fi, has a range of systemic bio-effects on the human body. This can also impact the gut environment, the microbiome has been demonstrated to have an impact on all systemic processes, including, but not limited to, gastrointestinal, immune and brain functions. Authors in this study aimed to shed the light on the reaction of the gut microbiome to long-term Wi-Fi exposure, they investigated the effect of Wi-Fi radiation on the gut microbiome of rats. Changes in the microbiome composition were studied over 30 days after irradiation. It was observed that, the biodiversity of the intestinal microflora decreased, along with the dysregulation in fatty acid metabolism and changes in microbiome structure, which affects the incidence of bowel pathologies. The findings indicate the ability of Wi-Fi radiation to modulate the activity of gut micro-organisms that might affect the health status in the long perspective.
