Mobile: a threat to our brain


Phones - responsible for headaches in children

And Swedish study focused on symptoms associated with mobile phone use by children and teenagers. It was found that this can cause headaches, asthma disorders and concentration problems. However, specialists believe that these disorders may have other causes, so it is necessary to conduct extensive studies on this topic. Until new scientific evidence will show clearly the effects of mobile phones on health, we need to take some precautions, the researchers recommend. For example, only 2% of children and teenagers use headsets when talking on mobile. According to Swedish experts, have not been studied enough long-term effects of exposure to electromagnetic waves. Moment to consider only the heating effect of mobile product, the so-called "thermal effect". But there may be other factors, beyond this, to be established after several years of research.


Mobile phone use increases the risk of brain tumors

Other studies conducted in recent years show that people who used mobile phones for over 10 years shows an increased risk of developing various tumors of the brain. One of the research shows that many people at risk of developing glioma, the most common type of brain cancer and a study by American and Korean experts proved that mobile use increases the risk of brain tumors by 25%.

Experts fear that radiation from mobile phones can have serious effects on human health. On the other hand, representatives of the mobile phone companies say their products are safe and do not represent a danger. However, many doctors are worried especially for healthy young people who are most vulnerable and who shows the greatest risk of developing brain tumors and other cancers in head and neck. "Mobile phones have been designed to be used in short messaging," said Shakeel Saeed Professor at University College London. "But young people do not take this into account and spend more time with your ear," continued the expert. Radiation emitted by the phones are more easily absorbed by the body and cause damage to young cells. Therefore this category of people is at risk of illness.

According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), "there is no evidence that mobile phone use causes health problems. It has not been demonstrated that phones are absolutely safe for health users.


Experts recommend: stay for less with the phone to your ear

Some time ago, Dr. Ronald Herberman, director of the Cancer Institute at the University of Pittsburgh, held the headlines when he advised staff to limit phone calls that otherwise likely to develop cancer. Children should use their phones only in emergency situations because their brain is growing, said the specialist at that time. This was the first warning came from the representative of a prestigious academic institutions.

Although mobile phones is harmful to health, this does not mean that you become paranoid and defenitiv give him, say experts. It is good to set some limits and a few simple recommendations:

* Keep your head away. When talking, use of loudspeaker or headset every time;
* Limit your conversation short. No more sitting for hours with the ear and uses mobile phone whenever you fixed;
* And sets limits regarding your child use the phone. Not buying this phone ever since he began to talk and explain the meaning of the mobile phone is an indispensable accessory in early ages.
