THE USE OF CELL PHONES AND HEALTH.

  There is no doubt that the cell phone is really convenient. It offers a safety network constant , the possibility of instant communication with others - and with the emergency services - in case of need. But this poses there health problems or security to be hyper- developed during such long periods ? Rather than sink into panic " And if ... " stay connected on the following three concerns about cell phone use and health .

Alarm tone : tumors and cancer

  In fact , your cell phone is not a phone. This is a two-way radio receiver which emits radiation at low power. Cell phones are glued against our ears, cheeks and neck and we expose our way very close to a field of radio waves. But to hold a radio near our head he exposes us to a sufficient amount of radiation to cause tumors or cancer?

  Currently , the World Health Organization (WHO ) indicates that it is unlikely that exposure to radiation from a cell phone " to induce or promote cancer development ." The WHO considers a significant amount of scientific research on the subject, but the report will not be published until 2010.

  It is difficult to measure the impact of exposure to cell phones since we some cancers more than 10 years to develop and that the statistics on the use of cell that have exploded in recent years . Some recent research , however, managed to identify users over 10 years and established a possible association with tumors and brain cancers . The heat generated by the cell and the proximity of radiofrequency energy were suspected as being the cause of tumors of the head and neck, and salivary glands , for example. Despite inconclusive , many health experts encourage the precautionary principle .

Alarm tone : Child Safety

  The saying "prevention is better than cure" applies especially to children using a mobile device . A child whose brain is still developing , the tissues are softer and the thickness of the thinner skull, may indeed be more exposed to radiation penetration as an adult. This coupled with the fact that children nowadays tend to use their cell phone again and always more and more young people, health risk , if any, could increase .
There is still no conclusive evidence on the dangers of cell phones and children's health , but many researchers advocate limited use of this device as a precaution .

Alarm tone : impaired driving

  It is not surprising that several U.S. States have banned the use of cell phones while driving : the act of driving talking on his cell can cause such serious than driving drunk consequences. And this is true whether the cell in hand or supposedly safest way speakerphone . It appears that the lack of attention may be more serious than not having his hands on the steering wheel problem. You are caught in a telephone conversation , your attention is divided between listening , formulating your answers, the speaking and the road ahead .
