Cell Phone Health Dangers

Rob Lantz asked:


Owning a cell phone has become normal in the present world as they have surpassed land-line phones, as the number one way that people make phone calls, and with that thought in mind we must wonder about all that we have heard in the news, and wonder what is true and what is untrue with the stories we have heard about cell phone health dangers.

Are there really cell phone health dangers? Some people think so and some people do not. In order for a cell phone to function the way it does radiation has to be produced as the device communicates with the base station. Just as radios and microwave ovens do, cell phones use radio frequency. Radio frequency uses a low frequency form of radiation unlike high frequency forms of radiation such as those used in X-rays. Too much exposure to high frequency forms of radiation have been proven to have health hazards and to cause cancer to those highly exposed but lots of exposure to low frequency forms is still unclear. Some experts believe that the farther you are away from a base station then the more prone you are to health hazards from your cell phone. The reason being that the farther you are away from the base station, the more radio frequency is needed. If this theory were true then those who live in the city would be less prone to cell phone health dangers than those who live in country and rural areas. There have been a few small studies done that revealed if someone were to talk on a cell phone for a few hours each day over a ten year period that they will suffer from cell phone health dangers. The studies indicate that they will get enough low frequency radiation over that time period to have a good risk of developing a brain tumor. The studies also indicated that the tumor would most likely be on the side of the head that is usually used when talking on the cell phone.

There has been no real proof of cell phones frying anyones brain but have you ever thought about some of the other ways that cell phones can affect your health. Most people do not ever clean their cell phone thus their cell phone will carry lots of bacteria on them which can make a person ill. Using a disinfectant wipe on a daily basic could easily get rid of the bacteria on cell phones but it is something that most people do not give a thought to doing. Though it has been talked about my many experts, the truth is that there has been no real proof of any serious cell phone health dangers.

Radiation Head: WHO Study Reveals Cell Phone-Cancer Connection

Michael Brewer asked:


Ten years and countless court battles ago, The World Health Organization (WHO) published a small, yet inconclusive study about how the radiation emitted from cell phones is bad for you.

Specifically, the WHO “suggested” a “possible” link between cell phone usage and brain tumors. The tentative language, no doubt, was influenced by the then-burgeoning cell phone industry — back when the Apple iPhone, the Motorola Droid and non-stock-broker Blackberry models were barely a sparkle in developers’ eyes.

Today we learn that the WHO’s decades-long study, called Interphone provides a clear and definite link between what they call, “heavy cell phone users” and an increased risk (between 10 and 30 percent) for brain tumors, as opposed to people who don’t use them. For those of you who wear your Bluetooth headsets all day, the WHO study suggests you might want to put them on a charger or something when you’re not on a call. There’s an elevated risk, although slightly smaller than placing your phone against your ear, that you could get a tumor too.

I have to ask rhetorically — who doesn’t use a cell phone today? Does this mean we’re truly in for a pandemic of brain tumors later on, like Swine Flu? What will this do to health insurance quotes? Will the carriers inflate them based on how many hours you use your mobile device? Too soon to tell, but further insurance reforms are likely coming as a result of this study.

I remember thinking back in the late 80s that the fat Motorola “brick” phone I lugged around at the time would get so hot against my ear, there had to be nuclear launch codes hidden up in there somewhere. Why else would they design it with that stiff, rubberized, missile-like antennae pointed confidently toward the heavens? But back then, microwave ovens were the size of college dorm refrigerators with an angry moan that dimmed your lights when you turned it on, and a spinning, silvery disk thing at the top that made your food hot on one side (no glass turntable, no evenly-heated dinner).

I figured if my mom used a radiation box to cook our peas and pop our popcorn, why worry about a phone that could transmit full conversations — in real-time — thousands of miles away without a wire?

Well, soon after Motorola launched the first-ever “pocket phone,” (it never really fit into your pocket unless you wore jeans that were three-sizes too big — Ah, but Motorola was before its time —That trend was years away), Motorola lawyered-up and filed suit in practically every jurisdiction around the country to keep us from applying for SuperFund stipends, crushing our new toys and sending them to Love Canal.

The full WHO study won’t be released until next month, but you can bet cell phone/smartphone makers are preparing their court motions at the moment.

So will you be powering down your mobile devices anytime soon? — Oh! Gotta go. My Blackbery

emissions, believes health agencies are understating the risks posed by wireless phones and towers. She cited a study released in October by Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, which found that 10 or more years of mobile-phone use increases the risk of acoustic neuroma — a benign tumor on the auditory nerve.
