It
was announced by the World Health Organization on May 31, 2011 that cell phones
can be a probable cause of cancer. They have marked cell phones as a
“carcinogenic hazard.” Through thorough research and peer-review analysis, the
scientists from different countries came to the conclusion that the mobile
phones can lead to some brain cancers (glioma and acoustic neuronal). These types
of cancers can take a little bit of time to develop and the long term usage of
this electronic device could result into several severe complications.
The
microwave spectrum technology has been used by the cell phones for
communication. When the device is held close, the invisible stream of radio
frequency signals penetrate our bodies which can be a potential cause of cancer
and several issues related to memory loss, dizziness and disorientation.
Several
safety measures should be taken in this case to minimize the hazards of these
radio frequency radiations. You should limit the duration of your calls on the
cell phone, use blue tooth devices or hands free devices or speaker phone to
increase the distance between the phone and your head. Try to stay still while
using the cell phone because more radiation is emitted while you are in motion
as the cell phone needs to keep track of you with respect to the changes in
position. Switch off mobile phones when not in use as the cell phone is still
emitting radiation when not in use. Try to keep the cell phone in your bag
rather than taking it with you close to your body. Use cell phone covers or
protectors which act as a shield in this case.
