HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF MOBILE PHONES

Having a mobile phone is really important these days, but the way we use it is of great importance as it may affect our health in one way or the other.

As health is wealth, knowing the health risks associated with the use of mobile phones and some healthy tips in reducing these risks is very beneficial. Below are some of the most common health risks associated with the use of mobile phones;

• The mobile phone does emit radiofrequency energy. This is a form of ionizing electromagnetic radiation capable of being absorbed by tissues that seems next to the phone (here we consider the human body). The amount of electromagnetic radiation due to the radio frequency that a mobile phone user may be exposed to depends on the type of mobile phone used, the technology of the phone, the distance between user and phone, and sometimes the user’s distance from the base station(antenna). Being exposed to radiations is a big health risk as it may result to many health complications like cancer.

• Another unpleasant health risk associated to use of mobile phones is an increase risk of brain tumours. With the increase use of mobile phones among the younger people, potentially longer time of exposure, a research promoted by world health organization on this group is currently assessing the health impact of the RF fields on studied endpoints. Research has proven that more than 360,000 cell phones subscribers are a victim of brain tumours incidents in Denmark.

• The ACS suggest that the IARC implies that the could be some health risks associated with cancer and that the evidence is not strong enough to be called casual and needs researched .further. Proposals are made that people who are more concerned about the exposure to radiofrequency could keep themselves a distance.

• The risk of road accidents by both drivers and pedestrians is one the most common risk as the use of mobile phones when driving seems to be a big distraction to drivers. For pedestrians it makes them loose attention when crossing the road or moving along the road.

In this regard, mobile phone users are advised to avoid the use of mobile phones when using the road.
How Reduce The Risks of Radiations from Mobile Phones


• Make sure when making a choice of a mobile phone, choose a mobile phone model with a low specific absorption rate, which implies the amount of radiofrequency radiation absorbed by body tissues
• Endeavour to use a landline phone if any
• It is advices to shorten the length of calls you make.
• use a hands-free kit
• Do not carry your mobile phone too close to your body when it is on
• Avoid the use of shield that u may think reduces your exposure to radiofrequency radiations because there is no evidence to suggest these shields work. They instead increase the RF radiation because the mobile phone will automatically increase its radiofrequency output in other to fight the effects of the shield to attain the best communication level.
Note: The radiation effects of mobile phones depend on the following factors:
• How long you use the mobile phone
• How close you hold the mobile phone to your body
• How close you are to the base station. If the link to the base station is weak, the mobile phone automatically increases its level of radiation in other to compensate.

    Thank you very much for the beautiful presentation
    How can someone know such a phone you’re prescribing? In another word where do you read to know that a phone has a low specific absorption rate and which is the recommended specific absorption rate?
