Cell Phone Radiation: Brain Risks

The document discusses the effects of cellular radiation on the human brain, noting that while cellular phones emit electromagnetic waves and radio frequency radiation, properly using cell phones and taking safety precautions can help avoid health risks like brain damage and tumors. Users should avoid putting phones directly to their ears when ringing and should follow safety guidelines in manuals.

The Effects of Cellular Radiation to the Human Brain

Nowadays, cellular phones become one of the fundamental needs in everyones life as it

offers fast and reliable communications across the globe. However, according to Volkow (2011),

there is a threat of danger when using the device because it induces electromagnetic waves,

basically coming from the antenna. The antenna found in every cellular phone emits dangerous

non-ionizing radiations, in common terms, it is called radio frequency. Thus, consistently using

the phone in a wrong way, could affect the brains internal functions, and this should be avoided.

According to Classic (2004), there is no constant amount of radio frequency emission in

every cellular phone, but it exists. And the distance between the brain and the antenna of the phone,

as well as the cellular tower and the phone, could trigger high radio frequency to the brain. It is

hazardous for the person and could develop malignant tumors, or cancer. Those people who put

their phone in the ear while calling somebody have higher risk of brain damage. This is so because,

cellular phones in the state of ringing someones another phone emit 100 times more radio

frequency than of using it in normal tasks. That is why it is prohibited to make a call in a gasoline

station, or even use the phone, because the radiation produced by the device can be a source of

explosion.

To avoid this malpractice, users of different kind of phones should be aware of the safety

precautions found in the users manual. Examine the functionalities and features of the cellular

phones. There should be a feature of call duration, the time that starts when someone answer the

call. If ever that a person wanted to make a call after dialing the number, the device should not be
put on the ear and hear as it rings, but wait until the call has been answered by looking on the call

duration, as it only begins to start counting after the acceptance of the call.

It should be resolved that cellular phones are safe, yet it should be properly used. As it

gives threat to someones health using it in the wrong way. Cellular phones are one of the

breakthroughs in technological advancement, and it helped many people to communicate in

distance, that is why unswervingly using the device, one should take serious precautionary

methods, or else, it could be a reason of brain dysfunctions.
