The negative influence of the cell phones

Nowadays we cannot imagine a life without a cell phone.

Brains Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, interviewed 634 persons with brain tumors. In a 2-year study, the team found an increased risk in anatomical areas of the brain exposed to microwaves during a mobile phone call. The older analog system, gives two to three times higher exposure than the digital system, which is now mostly used.

Pregnant W. Ross Adey of the University of California, Riverside, for instance, showed that a pregnant rat's exposure to phonelike radiation at any of three power levels alters the activity of an enzyme--ornithine decarboxylase--in the fetuses' brains. This enzyme helps create polyamines, which are chemical markers of stress. Surprisingly, Adey noted, the lowest input of RF energy, 0.16 watts per kilogram of tissue, triggered the biggest changes in polyamine concentration.

Heart A study has shown that radiation from mobile phones may cause a substantial increase in the forces that living cells exert on each other. Experts said this research could be critical to providing answers to the question of whether radiation from mobile phones is linked to cancer and other health problems. Although several researchers believe this to be the case, they have been unable to come up with ways that radiation could produce this affect and harm biological tissue.

Tissues The results of this study didn't prove negative effects from mobile phone radiation, however if the effect could be proven based on experimentation, it could provide the basis of an explanation for tissue damage.

Unsafe to use while driving Whether or not cell phones cause harm is extremely controversial, but it seems the best option is to limit your cell phone use, especially while driving, and be sure to use a wireless headset when you do. One of the most dangerous aspects of using a cell phone while driving is how much it increases your chances of getting into a car accident.Even though your eyes may be on the road while you are on the phone, your full concentration level isn't there. Statistics show that cell phones increase your risk of having an accident by a devastating 400 percent.
