What do you see in a Cellphone--Features or Radiation level?

Harmful mobile radiations - Mobile phone radiation causes brain cancer, infertility, heart attack, other cancer.
Different mobile phone have different radiation levels, some has high some has low. we must check the radiation level before buying a cellphone

While inventing cellphone, engineers faced a problem--continuity of signal. There was always an object blocking the path of the signals between the hand-held cellphone and the mobile tower, and to rectify this problem they needed to boost the microwave signals in order to transmit them unhindered to the mobile tower. In simple words they increased the intensity of microwaves so that they can travel to and fro easily without being hindered. The object obstructing the path of signals was HUMAN HEAD. There are multiple reports which suggest that increase use of cellphone makes you prone to some deadly form of brain cancer. According to a survey conducted, those who used cellphone for more than half an hour per day showed 40% more brain tumor (glioma). Those harmful radiations can cause brain cancer, heart attack, infertility, blood cancer, DNA mutation, Tissue and cell death, and miscarriage. While buying a cellphone, most people look at features, cost, etc. They do not check its radiation level. Some phone has high radiation level and some has low. There are cellphone which emits less radiation and thus are safe to use. Well, you ensure your cellphone must be newest and coolest. Do you ensure that it is safest?

Hi Yogesh, Since we are paying for cellphone it is very natural to check the features. Having features like camera, music player, radio, bluetooth, etc. in your mobile is always good. My point is the radiation level that different mobile have. some have more and some have less. You are in India, I guess, and you must be familiar with this. Have you not seen in newspaper about radiation of mobile? You have not seen it on TV? You do not know that erecting mobile towers in residential area has been banned by Supreme Court? anyways, happy mylotting, and have a good day.

I have yet to see a cellphone's manual that indicate how much radiation it's emitting or any warning that says a cellphone's radiation could be harmful with continued usage over time. More often, i guess, people just take for granted the possible damage of microwaves emitted by cellphones since the proper authorities are not yet coming up with specific guidelines or warnings of any possible health problems cellphone emitted radiation can cause to users. Until that happens, like any normal user, I would still use my cellphone as frequent as I can.

Hi, what I am suggesting is not to stop using cellphone, I am suggest prudent use. Keeping the harm away is the best policy. In India government has banned placement of new mobile towers in residential colonies. Every now and then, newspapers have articles and warnings regarding effect of radiation emitted by cellphone. I admit that the effects are low and take time to come into effect, but will there is no effect on a newborn whose mind has not developed and is under the influence of microwave radiations? If a pregnant lady is sleeping while keeping cellphone in her pocket, will there be no effect on the fetus she is carrying? Maybe people will take more time to grasp this idea. have a great day.

Wow dear Narendra, Thank You very much for the detailed explanation regarding the ill effects of the radiation exposure to microwaves. I too heard about them but couldn't get details from any authenticated source. My cousin is an Oncologist and he also doesn't have any concrete say about this. so because of this I never paid any interest or heed about this aspect when purchasing a cell phone. Like most of the people I also look for maximum features at an affordable price. I even don't know which are the phones which have higher intensity of micro wave radiations and which have low, so naturally I never thought about them. Could you be more elaborate, where from you got the data regarding the ill effects of the mobile phone and also about the phones which are dangerous and which are safer in Indian market? Any ways thanks for the information and hope members from this site will participate to throw more light on this subject! Thanks !

Every now and then, cellphone and cancers seem to be in the news all the time. And how much have been proved is difficult to say. Because effects of mobile can be studied only at a longer period of time. Now that almost everyone uses cellphones and all over the world billions of people are pressing their keypads and sticking to their cellphones for hours everyday. We can collect the data about this for example the estimated numbers for the US markets are for at least thousands of millions cellphones users with rising tendency in the continuously coming years. The main question is whether cellphone really cause brain tumors. This link can be viewed for detailed information on medical investigations on this matter: http://www.w-cellphones.com/consumer-rating-cell-phone-plans/ The diagnostic data related to this concludes that using headsets for ten years can double the chances of developing brain cancer, as tumors take at least a decade to grow, invalidating official safety assurance based on some previous studies that apparently used irrelevant sampling procedures. At the very same time it is also true that some countries has started to take step against this. for example in India, new mobile towers are banned in residential colonies of cities and populated areas. French government also has take some strict action against this notion. European environment agency has also advocated this effect of radiation. The result of 10 years of research of 13 countries around the world including Israel were published by the International Journal of Epidemiology. The research found a 40 to 50 percent higher prevalence of gliomas and meningiomas among adults who used cellphones for an average of 30 minutes a day for 10 years. Amazingly the malignancy was noticed to be developing toward the side of the head where people held their cellphones. Few more information can be check here: http://www.jpost.com/healthAndSci-Tech/Health/Article.aspx?id=175830 Glioblastom Multiforme: A type of brain tumor. Up to 40% more chance in persons using cellphone for more than 30 minutes everyday for a long time period of more than eight years. I think, if there are even 40% chances, moderation in the use of cell phone is prudent

Hi Narendra, Thanks dear for this extremely informative response. You have covered everything on the matter. Yes, I wanted to make people aware about the harmful effect of radiation emitted by mobile phones. Since their effect is visible in a long course of time, people are not accepting that use of cellphone can be harmful. Your post has given strength to my idea and maybe myLotter will pay some attention to this. I want to request all myLotter that: Never keep your cellphone in pocket while sleeping. Please don't give children your cellphone to play with. Do not keep your mobile under or near the pillow while sleeping.
