How are cell phones dangerous?

Answer 1

When you are driving and on old cell phones when you hold them to your ear for a long amout of time. The new ones should be ok. Be careful you may not be able to drive and talk at the same time in your state!! There have been some studies that show that talking on a cell phone while driving is as dangerous as driving drunk. Cell phones are DANGEROUS. Larry King on Larry King Live dedicated his entire program to the dangers of cell phones. There is one company that is doing something about it. Green Planet Armor has a solution to the dangers of Cell Phone radiation. I have read their research and ordered their product. I suggest you look at the research at greenplanetarmor.com

For one, the light that the screen emitts can keep you up. Your body mistakes it for sunlight, so you don't fall asleep. For two, when you put the phone to your ear, the signal that is traveling between two phones goes through your ear, and might cause brain tumors. For three, when you are driving and using your phone for any reason, you basically put your life on the line, not to mention the life of a passenger and everybody around you, including other drivers. Also, texting can become addicting. Your body gets so used to texting that you start going through withdrawals. Withdrawals will cause difficulty concentrating, irritability, anxiety, anger, depressed mood, sleep disturbance, and craving. Cell phones can reduce your time with family, friends, and you hobbies, causing you to feel lonely and depressed. Texting will decrease your grammar and writing skills, basically making you look stupid. There you have it. Cell phones in a nutshell.

Answer 4

Despite popular misconceptions, cell phones cannot cause harm to the human body.

They cannot cause cancer of any type. Only ionizing radiation can cause cancer. Sunlight, for example, is a kind of ionizing energy, so excessive sun exposure can lead to skin cancer. However, cell phones give off radio waves, which are non-ionizing. They cannot possibly cause cancer. This misconception may arise from a misunderstanding of the word "radiation," which makes people think about the ionizing radiation of a nuclear explosion.

The only potentially harmful effect that a cell phone's radio waves could have is heating (the same principle that microwave ovens operate on). However, the cell phone transmitter is much too weak to cause heating in the body. Additionally, the radio waves from a cell phone disappear in all directions, thus it isn't concentrated on the person (most of the energy escapes away from the body). Holding a phone next to your head for an extended use may cause extremely limited heating at the surface of the skin, which is harmless to the body.

Mobile phones are not dangerous for your health.

Answer 5

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified mobile phone radiation as 'possibly carcinogenic', based on an increased risk for glioma (malignant brain cancer). Their Interphone report showed that over a ten year period using your mobile phone for just half an hour a day can raise your risk of brain cancer by 40%.

Recently published long-term studies have added to concerns that cell phone radiation may be linked to various forms of cancer, including tumours of the ear and brain, gliomas, blastomas, and neuromas, in addition to a broad range of other health risks.

• Children and teenagers are five times more likely to get brain cancer if they use mobile phones. Their thinner skulls and rapidly dividing brain cells make them more at risk.
• Research studies suggest damage to the immune system from cell phone radiation.
• Links to infertility from electromagnetic and microwave exposure.
• Mobile phones can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbance and memory loss.

The best way to protect yourself is by using an 'air tube' headset with your mobile phone (such as those from The Safe Headset Store).

Answer 6

Cell phones are dangerous because they use a low level form of microwave radiation that makes heat and penetrates the tissue to make it heat.Also,it can cause cancer.
