Cellular Phone Radiation Effects.....!!!

As cellular phone usage becomes more and more commonplace around the world, so have concerns about their effects on health. Cell phones are powered by electricity and as a result, they give off electric and magnetic fields (EMF), also known as electromagnetic radiation. Cellular phone EMF is a non-ionizing form of radiation, which means that it does not have enough energy to break aparts atom and molecules and radiation in low doses and at low levels. The amount of cell phone's exposure is dependent on the amount of time these devices are used, as well as one's distance from them.

According to studies published in some journal of medicine, there is not a smidgen of evidence that use of cell phones is related th the development of either brain cancer or benign (non-cancerous) tumors. A summary of the findings is as follows :

• Cell phones users do not have a higher risk of getting brain cancer or non-malignant tumors than non-cell phone users;
• People who use cellular phones frequently are not more likely to get brain cancer or benign tumors than those who use cellular phones rarely; and,
• Brain cancer or non-cancerous tumors did not develop more often on the side of the head on which a cell phone was usually used than on the side that was cell phone-free.

So, if you have minutes available on your calling plan, you can ring your friends and family with the news. Considering the relative newness of cellular phones, though, the potential for negative effects from chronic use of cell phones over the long-term have yet to be determined. In the meantime, if possible risk from cell phone use is still a concern to you, limitting the time you spend on your cell, opting for a plugged-in phone whenever possible, turning off your handheld whenever it is not in use, and using a headset or speakerphone instead will help limit your EMF exposure.
