Health concerns over mobile phone use
Mobile phones communicate with base stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough, it has a ‘thermal’ effect, which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumors. In addition, the devices those using RF radiations are safe. Such as: Radio had used RF radiation since 1893 and television had used RF radiation since 1939, and cell phone also uses RF radiation. So, cell phone absolutely safe.
Research into mobile phones and health risks
Intensive international research has found no conclusive or convincing evidence that mobile phones are damaging to health in the short or long term. However, in May 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified RF radiation as ‘possibly carcinogenic for humans, based on an increased risk for glioma, a type of brain cancer’.
The release of this WHO statement prompted many people to call for a 'precautionary approach' to mobile phone use. Research is ongoing.
Reviewed studies have found that cell phone use is not associated with an increased risk of brain tumor. The another study such as in October, 20, 2011, July 27, 2012 and 2001-2013 have similarly concluded that there is no association between cell phone use and the development of brain tumors.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have all conclude that there is no evidence in the scientific that cell phone cause brain tumors or other health problems.
Radiation in relation to mobile phone use
Radiation is a combination of electrical and magnetic energy that travels through space at the speed of light. It is also referred to as electromagnetic radiation (EMR).
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) indicates that cell phones are
