Mobile phones have become such an important part of our daily lives that we cannot manage our life without them
. Have you ever wondered that can you really do without them? Another concern is that are mobile phones harmful to your health?
It is still unclear whether mobile phones have any impact on our health. The mobile industries claim that mobile phones are perfectly safe while some scientific studies have linked the use of mobiles to headaches. Some people who use their mobile phones more than 20-30 minutes, there may be a hazard to health from that kind of use.
Many people complain that they suffer from headaches after talking on their mobile phones. It is said that mobile phones cause brain tumors, dizziness, memory loss and behavior and development problems in children. The reason behind this is said to be the radiation emitted by the phones.
Such radiation is similar to that emitted by microwave ovens, colour TVs and computers but mobile phones may be particularly dangerous because they are held close to the head and this could increase the intensity of any adverse radiation effect. But not all scientists agree on the hazards.
It is also believed that mobile phone antennas may be harmful to humans due to the huge volume of electromagnetic waves. This danger is further provoked by mobile manufacturers who place the internal antennas close to the earpiece. These hazards may exist but mobile phones have become part of our everyday lives and we cannot stop using it. Doing away with our mobile phones may not be a practical approach to solving this issue. So we should adopt some habits to lessen the effects of the radiation like:
Children should not use mobile phones for making or receiving long calls.
Consumers should buy mobile phones with low SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).
We should try to keep away our mobile phones from our body.
