WHY CELL
PHONE IS LIKELY LIABILITY TO YOUR HEALTH: NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CELL PHONE
RADIATION TO HUMANITY.
Cell phones are globally used in our
day-to-day lives giving us the freedom to communicate anywhere and at any time.
The latest call phones have 4G technology, high resolution camera, MP3 players,
high sound quality. They have become a hit among all classes of people from
kids to teenagers to adults allowing them to enjoy a well -informed lifestyle.
They are considered as style statement and give a sophisticated touch people’s
profile. The most genuine popular cell phones operating software of our day are

the internet, taking pictures and more. They have stylish looks and excellent
in terms of usability and functionality and help in our personal and professional
lives.
But cell phones pose a threat to our
health when used in excess. This is because cells phones emit low levels of
non-ionizing radiation from their antennas when in use and the part of human body
nearest to the antenna can absorb this radiation. The type of radiation is referred
to as radio frequency (RF) energy. The National Cancer Institute once stated
that only that only consistently recognized biological effect of radiofrequency
radiation in humans is heating. Some of the effects of excessive cell phone
usage are further explained below;
EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO CELL PHONE
RADIATION.
1. HEADACHES:
When the radiofrequency emitted by cell phones is high enough, it has a thermal
effect on the body, hence it raises the body temperature. This could result in
headaches or accelerate the growth of brain tumors. When the cell phone is
mostly kept close to the head when making long hours of calls.
2. ACCELERATES THE GROWTH OF CANCEROUS TUMOURS: Excessive use and handling of cell phones
close to your body when making calls can increase the growth of cancerous tumors
in the skin tissue. Note that the radiation emitted by the cell phones is not
enough to directly lead to the development of a cancerous tumors. According to
the World Neurosurgery Magazine, the risk of the brain tumor on the side of your
where you hold your phone is likely to increase.
HOW
TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO CELL PHONE RADIATION.
Ø
MAKE SHOTER CALLS: This might seem difficult for some, but it’s
worth Limiting the length of your cell phone conversations is one of the
simplest since reducing your time talking on phone with it against your head
lessens the radiation being absorbed by your head.
Ø USE LOUDSPEAKER OR WIRED HEADSET WHILE MAKING
CALLS: Do this to avoid holding your phone
close to your head while making a call and also to reduce the amount of cell
phone radiation your head will be absorbing.
Ø AVOID BODY CONTACT: Avoid using or carrying your phone close to
your head or any part of your body at all times, at least 10-12mm of space
should exist between you and your phone. Furthermore, guys should not keep their
phone in their pockets likewise women.
Ø TEXT MORE AND CALL LESS: Avoid making lengthy calls and utilize more
of messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, among others.
Ø AVIOD MAKING CALLS WHEN YOUR PHONE SIGNAL IS WEAK: All because, when the cell phone network is
low or weak, it maximizes its radiofrequency radiation output in an attempt to
connect to a network and reach the closest antenna.
