THE USE OF CELL PHONES AND HEALTH "SEQUEL"

Alarm tone : contamination

British researchers have tarnished the reputation of cell phones worldwide when they published the results of their tests with swab on wireless devices. All this accumulated heat from the phone , our skin, our mouths, or our pockets , briefcases or handbags where we store our cell , can create a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause the common cold , infection staph or even meningitis. But do not press the panic button! The presence of bacteria does not necessarily lead to infection , simply regularly clean the surface of your phone to keep it clean.

Alarm tone : insomnia

There is no doubt that a ringtone or unwelcome phone call can keep you awake all night, but cell phones can especially cause insomnia. In a sleep study , it was found that participants exposed to wireless signals for three hours , took longer to fall into deep sleep another group not exposed to these signals. Some have also reported headaches. It could be that cell are also responsible for the sometimes grumpy character adolescents, because it was found that excessive use of cell phones by teenagers tended to promote agitation and sleep disturbance .

Alarm tone : infertility

While past cell phone minutes increase, sperm count decreases. That at least is what reveals research published in the Journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Compared to other men , those who have the habit of chatting on the phone more than 4 hours per day had a lower average number of sperm and also a lower number of viable sperm. However, although this is not to exclude , these researchers are continuing their research to determine whether the electromagnetic radiation is the cause of this decline in sperm production or lifestyle and other occupational factors may be involved .

A matter of common sense

- Use your cell only when absolutely necessary and prefer the landline if possible.
Keep yourself away from the phone. Even a few inches between your body and your phone may reduce the risk . Try the hands-free system , such as headphones or speakerphone .
Try the headset , such as those using Bluetooth ® technology . These systems emit less radiation than conventional cellular camera held close to the ear .
Buy a phone that emits less radiation. You can find on the internet radiation emission cell depending on the brand.
If you are a parent and you plan to provide a cell phone for your child , keep in mind the concerns of health and safety for young people. Do not forget , either, that the cell phone is more than just a phone and ask yourself if your child is able to responsibly manage a phone , a camera, an internet connection and a wireless system text messaging. Think about how complex it can be to monitor the use of all these tools.
If you 're in your car and you must make a call , take the time to withdraw from the lane to make your call in a safe location.
Close your cell phone to make sure you are not disturbed while you sleep .
To keep some distance between your body and your cell , do not carry your phone in your pocket or belt .
