One might find it difficult to imagine how he or she can suffer from health hazards just by the use of a mobile phone. Health experts as well as mobile users have reported that indeed mobile phones have adverse negative effects. Many experts who have researched on the effects of mobile phones do support that indeed there is a great connection between cancer and mobile phone use. The microwave emissions from them are evidently the cause of cancer.
Evidences of cell phone as a cause of cancer
Despite the fact that the cell phone industry is protecting itself by telling people that there are no effects from cell phone use, there are scientific evidences proving the opposite. A cell phone is essentially a radio when one talks once voice is transmitted. In the process of transmission, there are radiations transmitted and so depending on how close an individual is to the cell phone the health risks also correspond proportionately. Cell phones do transmit radiations in every direction as it is designed, and therefore it means that the radiations can reach any part of one's body (Sil 2009).
There are many studies that have been carried out to show whether indeed cancer is caused by cell phone use. Some of the researchers have shown that there is a connection of cell phone with such cancers as glioma, meningioma and acoustic neuroma. From the time of mobile invention fears have been in the society. Studies undertaken by scientists to find out if there is health risks prove the point. Mobile phones are microwave emitters and just like other rays which normally pose health risks it has also been found out to pose health risks. Consumers have fears related to use of microwave emitters since they think that probably by having them close to the head or the brain it leads to brain cancer. This fear is normally great for the phones with Bluetooth. This is because they are normally placed inside one's ear and therefore close to the brain. Microwave energy as reported by the Journal of cellular biochemistry shows that it causes cancer. It reports that it leads to fast aging of cells. According to Italian scientists they report that they cause cancerous cells to aggressively grow (Worthington, 2009).
The relationship between microwave and cancer disease has been documented way back in history, like even during the Cold War. In this period, it is recorded that U.S was eradiated by the Soviet Union and this ended up making two ambassadors develop leukemia. It also resulted in cancer of other staffers. Another research by the university of Washington pin points out that brain cells are destroyed by microwave energy. Dr. Lai shows that even small frequency of such radiations can accumulate and with the passage of time pauses health hazards. According to him any form of wireless transmissions should be minimally used. The Motorola Company is reported to advise its consumers not to point a cellular antenna towards any exposed part of their bodies. Research portrays that cell phones give out large contents of radiation and more specifically through the keypads as well as the mouth piece. The radiations do get into the ear and ultimately into the brain which are easily affected by the radiations. Apart from calling, even using belt clips is also another risky behavior to one's health. They pose a problem to the kidneys and the liver; they can result in cancer of the parts. In fact current research shows that there are other effects related to cancer. They have adverse effects such as nerve damage, hemoglobin leakage by the blood cells, headaches among others (Worthington, 2009). In 1993, due to the increased fear in the market the Telecom industry had given out $25milion dollars to embark on research to prove that cell phones do not cause cancer. The research gave out different results, indeed it was confirmed that cancer is caused by cell phones. The company has been fighting to prove that it does not cause cancer and is evident in its adverts.
