Harmful Facts about mobile phones
So, mobile phones and the radiation they emit is the talk of the town. And why not? This thing that emits radiation stays so close to our body all the time. And haven't we heard that radiation can cause cancer Our concern is indeed justified. And the concern has been renewed again by Akshay Kumar's past yearly released movie 2.0 So, if mobile radiation means DANGER! or CANCER! to you as well and you want to know the science behind the harm that your mobile might cause you , then you have come to the right place!
And since you are already here, let's try to understand if mobile radiation are really harmful to human health Really? Before understanding the mobile radiation effects on human health let's try to understand where is the phone emitting radiations from? For this, you'll have to understand how mobile phones work? So, whenever you talk to someone through your phone or send someone a message your phone converts your voice or your message into an electrical signal .Of course ,we can't see this signal but then this electrical signal travels from your phone to the closest cell phone tower from where it would go to a cell phone tower near your friend and from there, your voice or message will be sent to your friend's phone So these signals travel like radio waves. Now you must thinking, What are these radio waves? So, radio waves are a kind of radiation like X-rays, UV rays etc. and these radiations are not visible to our eyes .Though, there is a radiation that our eyes can see LIGHT! Yes! Light is also . a type of radiation be it coming . from the tube light or the Sun . So we've understood that our mobile phones work with the help of radiations and that radiation is called radio waves. But are these radio waves harmful for us Can we get cancer due to radiation? So, electromagnetic spectrum is a range of radiations which contain different radiations like X-rays, UV rays, Gamma rays Microwaves, radio waves, light etc. Some of these radiation are high energy and some radiations are low energy. All these electromagnetic radiations are divided into two First, ionizing radiations and second non-ionizing radiations.
So, any high energy radiation can cause damage to the DNA present within your cell and thus harm your health These are called ionizing radiations and these are the ones that can cause cancer like X-rays, UV rays, Gamma rays etc. On the other hand, the radiations that are low energy that can't damage your cells or DNA those are called non-ionizing radiations. and these radiations cannot cause cancer in your body like microwaves, radio waves etc.. That means, that the radio waves emitted from phone are not strong enough to cause cancer .Since phone use has sky-rocketed in recent times there are obvious concerns over it being harmful and thus a lot of research is done to see if mobile phone causes cancer but no study has been able to prove that mobile radiations can cause cancer. If not cancer, who knows it might cause some other harm? Scientists are even exploring answers to this question and one thing that has been seen is that our tissues heat up because of phones radiation .These radio waves are like microwaves only with less energy .The question is if these radio waves can cause your tissues to burn But scientists have said that the waves are not strong enough to burn your tissues .Like if in any country, the use of cigarette goes up then there, lungs cancer cases see a rise That explains a correlation between cigarette and lung cancer. But after a rise in increase in use of mobile phones no particular ailment has seen a rise and thus it's use is considered safe, until now. So, considering all arguments and facts we can say that scientifically there is no proof of any adverse mobile radiation effects on humans even when the topic has gone through a lot of research .But if you still feel like staying away from the phone and not take any risks then you can use earphones to talk or on loudspeaker and using the phone as little as possible is the best thing you can do It is probably best for our peace of mind.
