How To Prevent Mobile Phone Dangers To Our Health

You already know that mobile phones are essential to our life. People using mobile phones have high health risk compared to others not using the phone. Various research and studies exhibit different results - for and against using the mobile phones.

Mobile Phones radiate and its signals go to not only to the tower but also to our body. Maximum radiation goes towards the brain that initiates the risks to our body. Mobiles give off radiation even when you are not using the phones. People using phones less time, have minimum chance of risks to their health compared to busy users.


Radiation and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Now there is a question how to figure out which mobile phones give off most radiation. You can find it out after checking the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the phones. This is the rate of radiation exposure from radio frequency and microwaves in watts per kilogram of tissue. United States Federal Communication and Canada have set SAR level less than 1.6 W/kg, while the European Union has set the level at 2 W/kg.

Risks Of Using Mobile Phones

Continuous use of phones for more than an hour increases the risk of developing a malignant brain tumor. People who using cell phones for more than 10 years may likely to have glioma on the side of their head where they keep their handset.

Use of mobile phones decreases the semen quality for men by decreasing the sperm count, viability motility and morphology. High risks to male fertility, while carrying headset in a belt or trouser pocket. Mobile phones can also affect heart.

Ways To Reduce Mobile Phones Health Risks

1. Before buying mobile phone, ensure that it has recommended SAR.

2. Try to reduce the unnecessary talk while using mobile phones.

3. Try to use landline phone as far as possible.

4. While talking try to switch the mobile phone between ears.

5. Try to use the speakerphone as far as possible.
