With practically everyone owning a mobile phone and spending
a considerable amount of time on them each day, it is wise
to ask the question: Are mobile phones dangerous to our
health? While there are no conclusive answers at the moment,
there are conflicting studies. Some show that mobile phones
are safe and others show that mobile phones may pose a
health risk.
Mobile phones may be considered potentially dangerous in a
few ways. First, they are a device that both sends and
receives high-frequency radio waves. Second, these devices
have batteries in them that may be unstable in extreme heat
or in certain circumstances where a battery or other part is
defective. It should be noted that these occurrences are
extremely rare.
The jury is still out on whether or not mobile phones are
actually dangerous to our health. While the short term risks
are extremely low or non existent, the fact that mobile
phones have been used by millions in the last decade, the
moderate length and long term risks are still unproven. Here
are some arguments for and against mobile phone safety
according to facts that the BBC printed in November 2004.
Arguments Supporting the Belief That Mobile Phones are
Dangerous
There are a few arguments that support the theory that
mobile phones are dangerous to the user's health
1. While the evidence is still not clear, it is possible
that using a mobile phone on a regular basis can increase
the susceptibility to brain tumors or brain cancer by 2.5
times.
2. Mobile phones operate using magnetic fields. Studies
based on research in the past have shown that in certain
circumstances, magnetic fields can affect living cells.
3. Those that spend long periods of time talking on a mobile
phone have mentioned fatigue, a loss of concentration and
sometimes headaches.
4. It is possible that radio waves that are given off by
mobile phones can heat up and damage tissue.
Arguments Supporting the Belief That Mobile Phones are Safe
1. Radio waves emitted when a mobile phone is used are not
hot enough to affect or damage near by tissue.
2. Regarding brain tumor incidence, researchers admit that
the evidence still is not clear as to whether tumors or
cancer are directly related to mobile phone use.
3. Factors regarding loss of concentration, fatigue or
headaches are likely false, since they can not be replicated
in the laboratory
4. Magnetic fields emitted by a mobile phone are extremely
small and not likely to affect living cells in harmful ways.
Some Tips on Mobile Phone Safety
Obviously, the jury is still out on whether or not mobile
phones are dangerous to our health. If you feel threatened
by the potential health aspects of using a mobile phone, the
easiest way to avoid this threat is to simply not use these
phones. While extremely convenient, our society lived
comfortably without mobiles in the past. If you would like
to have the convenience of a mobile phone, but also want to
lessen your risk, there are a few simple things you can do.
• Use a headset to keep the mobile phone away from your head
• Only talk for short periods of time on a mobile phone.-
Use a land line for longer conversations
