Are Cell Phones Safe? The Recent Controversy

The controversy over the dangers of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones has been in the news recently. Several studies have now confirmed that young people and children are much more vulnerable to than adults. Their skulls are thinner and their brain tissue is softer, and as a result these waves penetrate much deeper, and can therefore do more damage. Because of this, a committee of European leaders has called for a ban on cell phones in schools.

The European committee pointed out that it took years (too many) to recognize the dangers of smoking, asbestos, and lead poisoning, and we should not make the same mistake in respect to cell phone radiation. Indeed, several European countries, including France and Germany, along with Canada and India have already issued recommendations for limiting the exposure of electromagnetic waves from them.

Although some studies have shown that cell phones appear to be completely safe, others (particularly in Europe) show that this is not the case. The conflicting reports are no doubt a result of the fact that it is very difficult to prove that they do (or don’t) cause cancer, and the reason is that cancer doesn’t appear in your body suddenly– it usually takes decades to develop. Another problem is that most of the studies have been surveys of people who have used cell phones for only a few years; they are asked if they have developed cancer, and the result is compared to the general population. Needless to say, it’s difficult to find a large, general, population nowadays that doesn’t use cell phones.

Because several of the US studies have shown that cell phones do not pose a hazard, research on the topic in the US has decreased significantly in recent years. Interestingly, though, research in other countries is still going on, and it continues to show there is a problem, and it is worth a closer look. One of the reasons it is important to take a closer look is that the incidence of brain tumors in the US has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2001, for example, 185,000 Americans had brain tumors, but this has increased significantly, and by 2015 it is expected to be several hundred thousand.
It is also worth pointing out that brain tumors are not the only worry. Cell phone radiation also has the potential to cause other problems such as:

Nerve cell damage.Damage to the eyes.Damage to blood and brain cells.Damage to DNA.
What can you do to protect yourself? The following are helpful:

When using a cell phone, keep the antenna as far away from your head as possible. Extend it out and hold it away from your head. (The intensity of radiation drops off rapidly with distance.)Limit the time of your conversations. If possible, use conventional phones for longer conversations.Also, limit the time you use them in a car or when the signal is weak. (The power is increased significantly in this case.)Check their SAR level (a measure of tissue heating). Make sure it is as low as possible.Stay away from cell phones communications towers. They’re particularly dangerous.Keep your distance from people talking on cell phones (it’s like second-hand smoke).Of particular importance, young children should avoid them completely.Don’t carry them in your pocket. A front pocket near your heart is particularly bad.

Mobile Phone Related Illnesses On The Rise In UAE

The dangers of excessive use of mobile phones and tablets have been exposed.

As authorities and experts are questioning if mobile phones indeed cause brain tumours, a senior UAE doctor has said he has had patients suffering from side effects of a mobile phone’s electro-magnetic radiation.

Dr Suresh Menon, Medical Director at Dubai’s Lifeline Hospital, says some of his patients constantly using mobile phones have been complaining of a one-sided head ache and hearing related issues.

According to him, while there is still no evidence that there is a fatal risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones, a recent study has also proved that those using a phone for 50 minutes or more, their brain tissues on the same side as the head as the phone’s antenna metabolised more glucose compared to tissues on the other side of the brain.

Possible health outcomes of such a change in metabolism are still being studied.

Meanwhile, the head of the Federal Communications Commission in the United States has called for a review of the agency’s stance on radio-frequency energy emitted from cell phones amid concerns that the devices may cause brain tumors.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski on Friday circulated a proposal to his fellow commissioners calling for a formal inquiry into the mobile phone emissions standards set in 1996.

The agency is keen to find scientific evidence that could necessitate changes to the current emission standards and see is emission standards should be different for devices used by children.

An FCC spokesperson, however, also added that the agency continues to believe there is no evidence tying cancer, headaches, dizziness, memory loss or other health problems to mobile phones.

Radio-frequency devices such as cell phones and microwaves emit radio-frequency energy, a form of non-ionizing radiation that is quite different from cancer causing ionizing radiation from gamma rays and X-rays.

The US based National Cancer Institute while noting that studies thus far have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, or other tissues of the head or neck, however has also called upon the need for further research as cell phone technology and how people have been using it has changed considerably over years.

According to it the amount of radio frequency energy a cell phone user is exposed to depends on the technology of the phone, the distance between the phone’s antenna and the user, the extent and type of use, and the user’s distance from cell phone towers.

The world now has about more than 5 billion active handsets.

Within the UAE too mobile phone penetration has significantly improved (by 154 per cent) with nearly 639,000 new GSM users joined the UAE mobile phone network in the first quarter of 2012, raising the total number to 12.36 million.

Dr Menon also adds that increasing use of SMS texting is also resulting in muscles between the fingers and the thumb getting wasted and a resulting groove in the fingers, a problem similar to those faced by typists who constantly used the typewriter.

“”While using typewriters people had their fingers in a crunched state and fingers used to get frozen. This resulted in a reduction in the size and wasting of muscles in between the fingers,”" he said.

“”Electromagnetic radiation or the radiowaves also affect the ventricular organ, a key sensitive organ that can affect a musician’s ability to hear the finer nuances of musical notes, etc., the best way to avoid all these issues is by keeping the phone at a fair distance and using quality earphones while talking,”" he added.
