What Are The Possible Risks Of Using A Mobile Phone?

What are the possible risks?

There are fears that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phone handsets may harm health.

In particular, there have been claims that it could affect the body's cells, brain or immune system and increase the risk of developing a range of diseases from cancer to Alzheimer's.

While there is no evidence to back up these fears, laboratory tests on mice have shown that radiation from mobile phones can have an adverse effect on their overall health.

It is still not clear whether those findings can be applied directly to humans.

A study by scientists in Finland, published in 2002, suggested that the electromagnetic radiation did affect human brain tissue.

But they played down their findings saying more research was needed to see if the effects were the same in living people.

Another study by scientists in Sweden, also published in 2002, claimed to have found a link between analogue mobile phones and brain tumours.

It suggested users of "first generation" phones had a 30% higher risk of developing tumours than people who did not.

However, the findings were controversial and there have been no similar studies into the effects of modern GSM phones.

There have also been reports of people suffering from headaches, fatigue and loss of concentration after using their mobile phones. However, these claims have not been scientifically substantiated.

What Is In A Mobile Phone And What Does It Do?

All mobile phones contain a microphone and a loudspeaker it also has a small card which has a microwave radio receiver and transmitter. All mobile phones now have a screen that show texts and images maybe some have a camera furthermore all mobiles now have a key-pad to type in text messages or dial numbers. It is all POWERED by a battery.

In Addition Mobile phones send and receive radio waves, which they then changes into sound. Above a certain level, radio waves will heat human tissues, but all mobile phones sold in the UK should meet international guidelines set to make sure this does not happen.
