1. How do cellphones work? These work by the signals which are transmitted to and can be received from the base station (usually located close by) through RF wave. RF wave is a type of electromagnetic wave with a frequency range of 300GHZ widely used in radio communication and in applications such as heating. RF waves along with FM waves, microwaves, visible light and heat come under non-ionizing radiation. RF does not cause cancer. These waves are different from radiations i.e. x-rays, gamma rays and UV rays. These radiations can destroy the chemical bonds that make up DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). At higher levels the RF waves can raise the temperature of the body. But the RF waves emitted by the cell phones are generally of lower energy level and hence it does not affect body temperature. 2. How are people exposed to RF waves? RF waves require more energy for long distance transmission. The energy at the transmitting antenna in cellphone will greater than the energy received by the receiving antenna of the cellphone (loss of energy during long distance transmission). When a customer communicates using cellphone which is in contact with their ear (either left or right) the maximum energy at the transmitting antenna of the cellphone during communication will be directly absorbed by that ear. The ear that is closest to the phone will absorb more energy that the ear that farther away. It also depends on factors such as: 1. Amount of time the cellphone is being used
Cell phone radiation lacks the energy necessary to break chemical bonds which is the only known method of action for cancer causing radiation.
The first cell phone was created by Martin Cooper on April 3rd, 1973. Cell phones are radio receivers and transmitters that use electromagnetic energy to send and receive information. Energy travels in waves. The distance from one wave to the next is the wavelength. Frequency is the amount of times the wave oscillates up and down per second. The higher the frequency, the more energy. Frequency is measured in Hertz. One Hz is one wavelength per second. Different electronical things are operated at different rates of hertz. At this point, the fastest connection runs at a 2.1 GHz (gigahertz) range-- that’s 2.1 billion wavelengths per second. Cell phones use low radiation called radio frequency (RF). A cell phone sends and receives
According to the CDC, there is no scientific evidence that ties cell phone use to any type of cancer. However, cell phones as well as wireless phones emit radiation to send signals. Radio frequency could possibly have carcinogens, which is an agent that does indeed cause cancer. Although it has been stated numerous times that there is no real proof that cellular radiation is harmful, other experts believe that a biological impact of radiation within the range of cell phones is possible. It is claimed that Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Parkinson s disease, autism, fatigue among all other illnesses and injuries are linked to cell phone information carrying
Cell phones use radiation but it is a weak form of radiation. Cellular phones are used by sending and receiving signals from
The opponent, Erdreich, states that research has proven that cell phone usage is not dangerous. Erdreich begins her statement by saying that cell phones use radio waves, similar to television, baby monitors, microwaves, and of course, the radio. These waves are of lower energy and frequency than the waves required to produce radiation. The lower frequency radio waves are unable to cause DNA mutation, which is what causes
Cell phones allow people to communicate with friends, family, and coworkers. However, they have also shown to make people less active, and have also made people literally addicted to their cell phones. There are also multiple studies being conducted on how cell phones may cause multiple types of cancer.
Cell phones have become an essential part of everyday life. Today, society cannot live without a cell phone. It is the first thing one sees in the morning and the last thing at night. Because of the increase in cellular phone usage, concerns have been raised about possible harmful outcomes. These alarms have prompted research and numerous studies. Through this paper, I will show that cell phones do indeed negatively affect people physically.
However there had done others study that express the connection between cell phones and different types of biological damage to human body. For example The European Journal of Scientific Research conducted a lab experiment with normal human astrocytes, an LG Verizon cell phone and MRET-Nylon chip. The experiment revealed that normal human astrocytes cell that were exposed to cell phone radiation at a room temperature without the MRET-Nylon chip decreased by 20% less . Igor Smirnov is one of the author of this experiment and he stated on his article that "It is well documented that cell phones, which emit electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range, can cause DNA damage, headaches, blurred vision, dizziness,fatigue, short term memory loss, neuralgias, tumors, sleep disturbances, aberrant brain wave activity and changes to cerebral blood flow, including altering the permeability of the blood brain barrier" (Smirnov, 2009). Smirnov statement and finding about the emission of electromagnetic wave from cell phones gives a lot to think. Even-tough it's a small amount of radiation that is being emitted from cell-phones, because they are held very close to the head at the end of a long term usage the risk of brain cancer and others health problems will
Another key fact is that teens brains are still developing and are more vulnerable than adults. Even though we know that cell phones to this day show no fact of linkage between cell phones and cancer it is too early to tell. Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation . Non-ionizing refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms, meaning the radiation isn't harmfull. Ionizing radiation like x-rays or gamma-rays are known to cause cancer. The low radiation emitted by cellular phones, however, cannot break chemical bonds like ionizing radiation can. So, no substantial biological tissue warming occurs with radio frequencies emitted by cellular
I am going to talk about the arguments about how cell phone radiation can affect our lives and whether these arguments are accurate or not. Cell phone radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has the ability to cause health issues. The radiation from this device can cause serious brain tumours, according to one study by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, which found that people who use their cell phone for more than 2000 hours have a higher chance of getting a brain tumour. The
this milder from remain unclear. A cell phone’s main source of RF is its antenna from
Firstly, using mobile phones may lead to some negative impact on the brain. People often use their phones next to their head, which increases the risk of possible tumors. Because of the radiation and waves that phones are emitting. The World Health Organization (2013) pointed out that according to a mixed epidemiological proof on people RF fields is perhaps carcinogenic to people by the arranging of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The WHO has a point that the RF radiation caused by the mobile phones may lead to brain tumors. They argue about mobile phones are emitting an RF field a thousand times higher than from base stations. There is a debate between
The risk of cell phone radiation is generally believed to be: first, to double the risk of brain cancer. Using a cell phone is more harmful than smoking to the human body. People
People are in an expanded hazard for antagonistic health impacts from mobile phone radiation. Cell phones cause electromagnetic radiation, which causes disease in the human body. In the current investigation by researchers, mobile phones are demonstrated to cause brain cancer. According to Rosch, “more than two-thirds of independent studies did find biological effects, including changes in DNA that have been linked to cancer, as well as a significant increase in temperature and malignant tumors in brain tissues close to the ear the cell phone was applied to.”. When people utilizing a cell
phone creates an "electro magnetic field (EMF)" when it is connecting to the local antenna. This EMF radiation can range from "1.55 SAR (specific absorption rate of radio frequency
