Two They are everywhere, anytime. The mobile phone has become a regular phenomenon of our daily lives. According to GMSC, about 3. 6 billion people are connected to the mobile device network. Which means that half the worlds population is already using mobile phones. In some developed countries health issues that come along with the use of mobile phones might not be significant. But countries such as Japan and US, the health issues can worry some customers.
Three People think the mobile phones are associated with: the development of cancer Heart attack carcinogenic processes reproduction and development Life span brain tumours, acoustic neuromas, tumours of the salivary glands, and leukaemia and lymphomas
When I was small, relatives used to tell each other that carrying mobile near to your heart, or in most cases in your front pocket of your jacket, was a very bad treatment to your heart. And elderly people took it very seriously to avoid carrying mobile phones, but most people who think themselves healthy dismiss the fact very easily. So why do nowadays people worry easily about the health rumors that people talk about the mobile phones? One reason, could be that in the spread of information through media: people get feedbacks from the current events easily. If someone found out that someone had died because of the use of the mobile phones, it gets them.
Because even though it was not their neighbor or relative, people still feel the danger close at hand. People are more eco-friendly (thanks to awareness of global warming), and, then follows the notion about living healthy.
People’s focus is now on themselves, as the labor work load decreased, people have eventually turned to their leisure times.
Four So what are the real consequences on health? A general summary would be: Direct influences : Radio waves/ microwaves reversible biological and physiological effects that do NOT necessary lead to diseases or injuries Indirect : Interference in Health equipment Car accidents
However, recent studies have reported an increased risk of acoustic neuroma and some brain tumors in people who use an analogue mobile phone for more than 10 years -Health Evidence Network, World Health Organization, Europe
Five How are these health risks implicated? Mobile phone (from antennas): Specific Absorption Rate of brain must be below 2 W kg -1 NORMAL USE: 3 min call: SAR was 1 W kg -1 followed by no use of the phone for the next 3 min, the 6 min averaged SAR would be 0.5 W kg -1
Radio-frequency signals from mobile phone base stations 1 V/m field at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz by replicating GSM fieldsà electro sensitive and the control group the 2100 MHz UMTS field typical of the new 3G fields àthe sensitive group -Health Protection Agency
Six So derived from those scientific and also personal views, there are few options that will decrease the amount the mobile phones are used. Most importantly it opened a way to a new technology, hands free kit, headphones and wireless headphones, for the phones.
Seven Some societal concerns about uses of mobile phones and its base stations are frequent. The site of base stations has been generated in urban settings by their spatial proximity to ‘sensitive’ built structures like hospitals, schools and residential estates. They are also more likely to be there than in semi-urban or rural settings. And it creates fear of health, and also aesthetic values. Public concerns over base stations are not likely to subside but may even increase in the near future. Howevern, contrary to the available scientific evidence, the public seem to underestimate health risks from mobile handsets while frequently overestimating the risks from base stations . -The Social Geometry of Mobile Telephony, Alex Law
Eight Well then, in the end, If your health is poor there are few options your mobile phone can provide to help you. Go visit : Mobile Health Clinics Network (Online forums) which will have online information about prognosis, treatment about your illness
Or buy one of the Health phones/ Wellness handsets from Japan, and it will tell you how much fat is in your body, and how bad your breath smells.
If you are sporty person you will get have heart rate measurer and distance measurer and also blood pressure indicator on your tiny little screen.
