Is your mobile phone dangerous?May 11 '00 Write an essay on this topic.Nobody knows for sure. The scientists downplay the risk, but the cell phone story is a thriller: - Todays knowledge could be tomorrow's nightmare. It is likely that 30 years from now we wonder how on earth people could place such a high frequency radiation source to the head. My questions answered:- Why can the mobile phone be dangerous? The antenna radiates microwaves. The same type of radiation as in a microwave oven, although in much smaller doses. Like the microwave oven heats food, the microwaves of the phone heat human cells. Science does not know exactly what happens with human cells which are exposed to microwaves. Can I get cancer from the mobile phone? Animal studies on rats show that cells are affected and the genes (DNA) can be damaged by mobile phone-like radiation. This is a plausible coupling to how tumors are initiated. What other damages can microwaves cause? An American study mentions the following damages: Behavioral disturbances, nerve damages, fetal damages, cataract, changes to blood chemistry and impaired immune defense. Whether this is also true for the low doses which the mobile phones are emitting, nobody knows. Are children more sensitive to microwaves? In general, children are more sensitive to anything affecting the human body. An Australian report concludes that children absorbs microwaves at a rate 3.3 times higher than an adult. What this means exactly, nobody knows. Are children more sensitive to microwaves? This is probably so. Electrical hypersensitive people often complaint over problems in connection with mobile phones. Is the digital mobile phone more dangerous than the analog mobile phone? A substantial body of research suggests that this is true. In this case it is connected with the fact that the digital phone emits a pulsed signal, and this frequency affects people more than the analog signal. Is it dangerous to live near cellular transmission base stations? Today nobody knows for sure how it affects humans to continuously stay in a weak microwave field.  |
