Cell
phone is harmful to human health
Nowadays, almost
all people in the world have cellphone or hand phone. They use the cellphone to
communicate with the others and wherever they are. With cellphone,
communication becomes easier and cheaper. But, did you know that cellphones are
harmful to human health, especially with human brain. There also issue having
said that cellphones cause the cancer and tumor. If all that is true, why do
people still use it ? it turns out that most people do not believe it and
considers that it has nothing to do with cancer or brain health. In this essay,
I will prove that issues are true based on research scientists.
cell
phone radiation produces waves at the time we receive or make a call. The radiation
emitted by cell phones, known as radio frequency (RF) radiation, is regulated by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This radiation can lead to various
diseases that cause harm because of this radiation heating on the surface of
the brain and the brain becomes dry. This can lead to various diseases of the brain. This radiation is also dangerous for pregnant women who
are young because this radiation can interfere with brain development of
babies. if the growth of the
baby's brain is interrupted, it
can result in the
child suffered brain disability.
Many scientists
are researching the
causes of cancer and one of them is due to cell
phone radiation. According to American Medical
Association, there are two effects
caused by mobile
phone radiation. There are thermal effect and non
thermal effect. non-thermal effect
is the accumulation of radiation
in the body that
can damage proteins. This effect have
long-term effects such as sleep disturbance, headache, dizziness and cancer.
Active mobile users can
increase the risk of tumors. Cell phone users in the long term will lead to a
buildup of radiation in the brain and the heating temperature in the brain. it
can lead to brain
disorders such as reduced fluid
in the brain. “ Long-term use of both mobile and
cordless phones is associated with an increased risk for glioma, the most
common type of brain tumor, the latest research on the subject concludes.” Said
Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD, professor, Department of Oncology, University
Hospital, Örebro, Sweden.
Children
may have an increased risk of adverse health effects from cell phone. In addition, radiation from
cell phones dangerous for children because of a
wave of radiation from mobile
phones will hamper the
development of brain performance. American Academy of
Pediatrics President, Dr. Robert Block said “ when cell phones are used by
children, "the average RF energy deposition is two times higher in the
brain and 10 times higher in the bone marrow of the skull," than for
adults. In the study mentioned
the child's skull is still thin and capture
radiation risk is
greater than adults
many people say using headphone or
headset can be protected from cell
phone radiation. it is not true, if the phone is still near
the body, the radiation will continue to go through the body. And many are of the opinion like this “ radio
or television also
contain harmful radiation waves
but not as well
as mobile phones.” it is also not true,
the resulting radiation radio or television
is not too large compared
to cell phone radiation. and also in using the tools we
do not often touch directly.
Current use
of mobile phones in everyday activities can not be separated because it
makes it easy to communicate with others. almost
everyone has a cell phone. even children are now
using mobile phones in everyday activities such
as play games, watch videos, music and
so on. but they do not pay attention to the dangers that
threaten the use of mobile phones. The dangers of using a cell phone should
instilled since they were kids. It can prevent the onset of dangerous diseases
such as cancer and tumors. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
