Dispute over the harmful effects of cell phone waves

No one wants to put one's head into the microwave oven. But almost everyone feel excited to put their cell phones close to their ears, and heads. Many studies assert that cell phone waves do harm to the health. Besides, other studies prove the reverse
Up to now, there has been 1, 5 billion people using cell phones all over the world. In recent years, the consumers feel puzzled because of different opinions about having or not the risks caused by these devices.
The conference about a case in Austria in 1999 gave a general judgment: the physical influence from magnetic field of microwave ovens, radio waves was true and needed verifying by science. A Demark doctor said: "Maybe no one wants to put one's head into the microwave oven. But almost everyone feel excited to put their cell phones close to their ears, and heads." According to some studies, magnetic field of cell phone waves will influence skulls, brains, eyes, noses, and facial cells. Similarly, so will the influence of electro-magnetic wave s of microwave ovens. However, its influence is lighter.
Doctor Bruce Hocking in Australia used to report in front of the Parliament that some of people using cell phones might hurt skin surrounding helixes.
The UK researchers warned that children using cell phones could meet difficulties in the skull growth. Using cell phones might cause loss of hemoglobin in erythrocyte, heart disease, and kidney stones. E lectro-magnetic wave s of cell phones also influenced immune system. To people with glasses using cell phones, the influence of electro-magnetic waves on eyes increased 20%, on heads increased 6%. This could be traced back to the influence of mental mirror frame. Many people with decayed tooth filled by mental complained that they felt rather hot in their mouths and suffered toothache when talking by cell phones.
According to a Germany investigation, e lectro-magnetic wave s of cell phones increased blood pressure because of under the influence of electric field. American doctor said that when using cell phones, up to 50% ADN suffered some damage and loss due to electromagnetic field of the machine.
Doubtful about bad effects of cell phone waves, Japanese railway companies demanded the customers to cut down on carrying and using these machines on the trains with a view to avoiding the influence on hearing-aids. Shell - the gasoline company - also warned that during filling up the petrol, the ringing of cell phones could cause fire. According to them, electromagnetic field could spread when the cell phones ring strong enough to spark a fire, catch the gas, and make vehicles burn. Therefore, they warned the public not to use cell phones when filling up.
While cell phone producers believed that the cell phones were safe because of obeying rightly the criteria set by authority. American drug and food management agent assessed that cell phones generates a insignificant amount of electromagnetic field so that they could not affirm that cell phones were harmful or not.
According to WHO, electric field of cell phones was very little about 0, 2-0,6W, which belonged to group of not making disorder men cells such as X-ray. The electric field dissolved into space depending on the distance between machines and men. In addition, according to WHO, when entering men bodies, it would create a light heat, the body temperature regulation structure could change easily.
When influence of cell phone waves has not been determined yet, cell phone users unintentionally became experimental objects whether cell phone waves were harmful or not.
Unlike smog of cigarettes, magnetic field of cell phones is invisible, colorless, and odorless. They secretly enter our bodies and cause bad effects. Therefore, once the doubts are emerged, cell phone users should be more aware of. Specifically:
- Not use cell phones when having telephones.
- Use headphones to avoid putting cell phones close to ears.
- Cut down on talking too much on cell phones.
- Use SMS instead of calling when available.
- Use cell phones with antenna placed outside, far from heads and brains.
- Put cell phones in the bags. Not putting them in pockets and pants pockets.
- Should not allow children under 16 to use cell phones because the influence of cell phone waves on this age is stronger than adults.
- Should not use too old cell phones.
