Cell Phones

Cell phone is a brilliant innovation of the 20th century having solved a lot of the problems that are faced by the human being on their day to day life. Distances have been reduced to phone calls. However, research has shown that cell phones are carcinogenic to people. Use of the cell phones is associated with the increase instances of cancers especially the brain tumor (Lin, 2009). Currently, people in the world believe that communication has been made easier; apparently, cell phones are dangerous to their human health. Background information on cell phones Cell phones are emitters of the harmful radiofrequency energy which when its amount are too high and exposed to the human can lead to cancer. Radiofrequency energy emitted by a cell phone to a user is believed to damage the brain cells gradually. The damaged caused depended on the level of technology the phone has bee made. The distance that exists between the phone’s antenna and a given user determines the extent to which harm is caused. Radiofrequency energy - Radiofrequency energy refers to a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic emission or radiation which tends to be absorbed by tissues near the emitter such as the phone. These forms of radiation can travel through a space or air leading to damage to the object it meets along the way. Sources of Radiofrequency energy – there are many sources of radiation that exist in our surrounding. Such sources of radiations are cell phones, radios, television, radars, satellite stations and microwaves among others. In this case, the focus is given on the cell phone since it endangers the lives of many human beings. Effects of radiation – Radiation emitted by the cell phones cause’s tissue damages, cancer and tissue damages. In addition, the ear exposure leads to the swelling of the eardrum leading to pain and even paralysis (Lin, 2009). The main focus is given to the brain tumor that is a very severe disease and difficult to cure due to its complexity and desire for expert's attention. Lawsuits on the cells phones impact Cell phone companies have been sued due to the impact it has on the human beings. Recently a man in Florida sued the mobile phone manufacturing company over the death of his wife (Kovach, 2007). The wife had died of brain tumor. Research on the impact on humans Studies have indicated that consistent link that exists with the use of the cell phones will ultimately determine the level of damage the user will suffer. The brain, tissues of the neck, tissues on the head and nerves are frequently exposed leading to growth of the cells due to the impact of the radiations. However, more research is needed to be carried out concerning cell phone technology (Kovach, 2007). The manner in which human are expected to handle the gadget should be availed a soon as possible. Brain tumor – it refers to the growth of the cells of the brain due to the expose to the cancer causing agents. The cell phones are associated with the cancerous brain tumor or malignant. Inconsistency in the various research findings – despite the emphasis given by the health societies towards establishing the impact of the cell phones on the body, there are some objection toward the finding. Manufacturers have conducted parallel researchers trying to avoid the negative impact depicted by the health organizations. Cons of cell phones It is believed that the increasing use of the cell phone is associated with the increasing cases of the brain tumor. Secondly, the use of the cell phone is associated with much caution due to the impact it has on human health. Thirdly, the impact caused by the radiation has been proofed to cause the damage to the DNA. Finally, radiation can damage the sperm when kept in men’s pocket near the private parts (Kovach, 2007). Safety testing of the cell phones Mobile phone should have thorough testing at the factory in order to be allowed for human use. Following the struggle by the companies to provide inconsistent information about the cell phone, it is evident that such allegation be resolved. Lawsuits can end up bringing down the brilliant communication idea if such harmful effects are true (Lin, 2009). Protecting oneself Human beings are expected to follow the manufacturer instruction and provision before using the device bought. Negligence is considered the leading killer among the users of the cell phones (Lin, 2009). There are also different qualities of cell phone available in the market. It is important that the users purchase a recommended phone that has all protection provisions. Economic implications of cell phones – Cell phones are the current economy prime movers especially in the money transfer industry. It leads to big lose if the devices are associated with harmful impacts on human health. Conclusion Cell phones cannot be treated fully has harmful before conclusive and inclusive findings are presented to the users. Companies too are expected to exercise codes of ethics while trying to avoid victimization over the impact of the phones. Conversely, companies are expected to embark on research that will solve the issue surrounding the dangers posed by the cell phones.
