Cell+Phones

__**Communication At A Cost**__ There has bean a large amount of debate over whether cell phone use is causing of affecting the rate of brain cancer. It is believed that the low amount of electromagnetic radiation that is being emitted from the cell phone is going in to your brain and changing the DNA causing tumors. There have bean numerous studies conducted to find out if the radio frequency energy from the cell phones is causing tumors in the brain. Most studies say that cell phones usage has no influence on brain cancer but there are a few studies that have evidence stating against these claims. A study taken by the Swedish National Institute for Working Life stated that people with more than 2,000 hours of total talk time had 3.7 times the risk of developing brain cancer compared to nonusers. There are billions of people around the world who are using cell phones for long periods of time every day. The media is painting this as a big problem but is it? There are some significant facts pointing towards cell phones causing brain cancer. Tumors have bean found in the exact position and shape as a cell phones antenna. When you talk on a cell phone you are holding something that is admitting radiation. It is a very real possibility that the radiation can cause tumors. You also have to think of the amount of radiation in perspective. The radiation is not as high as a heating lamp, microwave, or a tanning booth. Also the amount of radiation is said to be too low to cause damage and isn’t suppose to be able to brake the chemical bonds of DNA. People have bean using cell phones for a number of years and there was a large problem it would have been detected by now. Mobile phones operate on 0.6 watts while a microwave uses 600 to 1.100 watts. It is still not confirmed what effect the radiation has on DNA but precautions should still be taken like wearing headphones and using speaker mode so the source of radiation is farther away from your head. As well as this restrict cell phone use for children as they will be effected more by this as they are still growing and are more venerable. Cell phones are one of the many ways to communicate. Is this way causing some serious diseases?
