Many people often use cell phones in combination with other activities, which can cause many negative effects.…
There has have been many researches and court cases on how cell phones are dangerous and what kind of damage it they can do to people. There was a case on a man who blamed cell phones in the hospital that had died from a brain tumor. That person blamed the death of their family member on cell phones because the cell phone was right beside where the brain tumor was. Scientists were investigating on how can the cell phone can cause brain tumors and other serious diseases. Some scientists say that cell phones are giving off radiation when talking on the phone. Cell phones are like microwaves because the cell phone’s using radiation to send and receive the text messages and calls. Many people press the cell phone up against their ear so they can hear the person they are talking to. Cell Phones phones do produce a lot of heat and it produces microwaves, which it uses radiation just like the microwave that people use to cook food. Cell Phones phones are also dangerous to use when driving down the highway because the cell phones can still receive messages and calls. Cell Phone phone radiation was studied by different scientists on how it caused brain cancer on many patients. Students use the cell phones to cheat on tests and quizzes. It significantly affects the change of education standards to the students who have cell phones because it’s easier for the students to find the correct answer on the internet.…
Over the last decade, cell phones have become increasingly popular and are only going to become more popular as the years go on. Due to this rise in popularity, the question and worry of whether cell phones cause brain cancer has become more problematic. Most of the websites I researched gave good reasons regarding the possibility of them causing brain cancer, while the other website gave good reasons as to why they do not. Both of them provided liable information that stood by their opinion which makes it hard to believe what is true. The question ‘Do cell phones cause brain cancer?’ is still a question that cannot be answered to this day. However, the information I will reveal in this paper will help you decide what your opinion is on the topic.…

Over the past decade, the use of mobile phones has increased significantly. However, with every technological development comes some element of health concern, and cell phones are no exception. Recently, various studies have highlighted the negative effects of cell phone exposure on human health, and concerns about possible hazards related to cell phone exposure have been growing. This is a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute overview of the effects of cell phone exposure on human health. The types of cell phones and cell phone technologies currently used in the world are discussed in an attempt to improve the understanding of the technical aspects, including the effect of cell phone exposure on the…
Pawl states in his editorial, “Cell phones are more dangerous than cigarettes!”, in Surgical Neurology, “The long term use of cell-phones was leading to brain tumors and was more dangerous to health than smoking cigarettes” (Pawl 445). To actually believe that over time the use of a cell phone is more harmful than the tobacco and nicotine inhaled by smoking is a shocker. Although the cell phone itself may not create and spark some sort of new cancer, it is said that cell phones do increase the chances for gaining other health problems (Pawl 445). Pawl also brought up something called EMF’s (electromagnetic fields). Electromagnetic fields can cause all sorts of problems to the human body from nausea, dizziness, headaches, etc. With this sort of exposure from a cell phone over a long period of time, even starting at a young age has a much greater risk. Also over time exposure can cause things such as ipsilateral, glioma, and acoustic neuroma (Pawl 445).…
This article talks about how cell phones are not linked to cancer. According to Danish researchers, the biggest study ever consisting of 350,000 people found no evidence of any link. This concluded that people who have used a cell phone for a decade don’t have different cancer rates than those who have not. Last year, a different study found no connection between cell phones and cancer. But it showed a possible connection between heavy phone usage and glioma, a brain tumor that is rare but deadly. However, this information was not enough to support the case. That study of over 14,000 people in many countries, along with animal experiments, led to classifying electromagnetic energy from cell phones as possibly carcinogenic along with coffee and gasoline engine exhaust. But cell phones don’t issue the same radiation that is used in medical tests or found in radon soil so there might not be a risk. The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission have no evidence of cell phones being linked to cancer but people still have fears of getting it, although cancer rates have not risen since cell phones were introduced. Researchers have updated a recent study examining 358,403 cell phones users 30 years of age and older in Denmark from 1990 to 2007. They found that cell phone users did not have a higher risk of cancer than those without them. Cell phone users also aren’t more likely to develop a tumor in a part of the brain where phones are held against the head. About three-quarters of the world’s population use a cell phone. This makes it difficult for scientists to compare cancer rates between users and non-users. The advocacy group MobileWise said that the Danish study wasn’t enough to consider the long-term risk since brain tumors can take decades to develop. In about 30 other studies, those with brain tumors…
1. First of all, studies have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, or other tissues of the head or neck. More research is needed because cell phone technology and how people use cell phones have been changing rapidly.…
Researchers are divided on a conclusion of whether or not cell phone radiation should be considered a health risk for humans. Several studies have recently been conducted showing serious effects cell phone radiation can have on brain tissue. In the following figure there are two pictures. The picture on the top shows a healthy rat’s brain before it has been exposed to cell phone radiation. The picture on the bottom shows the same rat’s brain after it has been exposed to cell phone radiation for several weeks. The spots located in the second figure are areas that have underwent protein leakage from blood vessels. These brains had destroyed cells in parts of the brain important to memory, movement, and learning. There was also a significant amount of damage to the neurons in the brains of adolescent rats. One main point of this study is that these rats have been exposed to the same regular radio waves humans are exposed to everyday throughout their lives. The only variable changed during this experiment was the concentrated radiation from a cell phone. This was a study lead by Professor Leeka Kheifets from the University of California, Los Angeles. (UCLA) and performed along with several other studies aimed at cell phone radiation risks with children and infants. One argument against this study is that although infants and toddlers do have undeveloped skulls, they are unlikely to receive such strong amounts of cell phone radiation while they are young, and still have much thicker skulls than the rats used in this research.…
Cell phones have consistently evolved both in function and design ever since Dr.Martin Cooper first invented the wireless handset in 1973. In those days, cell phones were merely used to make calls and store numbers. Contemporarily, the cell phone has evolved into a multifunction device with heterogeneous functions added including video camera, text messenger and so forth. As a result, this has changed in the way people use the cell phone. Despite all the obvious benefits these functions provide, this essay aims to argue that cell phones are dangerous specifically on crimes, distractions and health threats.…
Today’s technologies are advancing at such an astonishing rate. This can make it difficult for even the most avid “techie” to keep pace. Technology is that wonderful thing that brings comfort and convenience to our lives. But, with that comfort and convenience, there often comes a price; and the technology of the cell phone proves no exception. Arguably, as a communication tool, the cell phone has no equal in how it has changed and affected our lives. Mostly, the effect has been positive in many ways. But, as it is with anything, overuse and abuse has brought out its dark side and the effect of unintended consequences. One of the unintended consequences of the cell phone is its effect on the health of its users and even the health of those around them. What is the effect of the cell phone on our health? Researchers are examining the health risks associated with cell phone use. This research has focused on traffic accidents, germs, cancer, electromagnetic radiation, and vision health.…
Mobile phones are known to cause brain tumas, cancer and brain damage. Thousands die from these illnesses every year. Still, we continue to use them! We MUST stop constant mobile phone use. This practice is out of hand and is proven to eventually kill us, approximately 50 years from now.…
