Specific health problems

Cancer or tumors
Studies show that rats exposed to microwaves like, generated by mobile phones, but stronger, breaks in DNA, which may indicate a negative effect showed. Moreover, mice exposed to radiation for 18 months developed brain tumors. But of course, these studies are not evidence.

Blood pressure
It was noted that people are mobile phones, which are sensitive to high blood pressure. Once again, there is no concrete evidence of it.

Pregnancy
Here at the University of Montpellier in France 6000 was held chicken embryos, and observed that in highly exposed eggs, five times less likely to survive than in the control group.

This study raises the question of possible effects on pregnant women, but not published in peer-reviewed scientific literature or plays, so its results are difficult to assess.

Headache, fatigue, Heating effects
The study showed that more people are mobile phones, the more likely they were used to report symptoms such as hot ears, burning skin, headaches and fatigue.

The study did not include a control group (ie people who do not use a comparison mobile phone), so the reported symptoms may be caused by a number of other environmental factors on mobile phone users, such as working with computers , stress management, or reading.

Memory
There are several studies on the relationship between mobile phones and memory loss. The study examined the effect of radiofrequency (RF) in the area of the brains of rats that is associated with memory. The results show that RF signals within cells in the brain, which is responsible for training and short-term memory.

Posture (the phone between your shoulder and lifted the ear)
Some researchers believe that holding a phone between your shoulder out of your ear would have an adverse effect on the muscles, bones, tendons and discs. These issues also apply to a mobile phone or fixed phone to mobile phone and are the result of poor posture.

Mobile phones and children
Because of their smaller heads, thinner skulls and higher tissue conductivity, children may absorb more energy from the phones than adults.

Recommendations for prevention

* Mobile phones must be used in situations but not for long conversations.
* A small cell phone chip type microwave radiation devices available, the ability to absorb the energy of electromagnetic waves from a mobile phone. Helps reduce the potential adverse effects of these emissions in the human body.
* The use of mobile handsets is a good idea, do not keep the phone next to your ears all the time
* The use of hands-free car kit mobile phone while driving without hands on the wheel

The WHO (World Health Organization) RULES

* Mobile phone users should limit their exposure to harmful radio frequencies, reducing the duration of the talks.
* Sets the impact of reduced maintenance of the tool away from the head and body.
* Mobile phone driving title talking should be banned.
* Mobile phones must not be used in hospital intensive care because they may pose a risk to patients, when faced with pacemakers and defibrillators.
* People with hearing aids should not use mobile phones.
* Base stations, which are low-power antennas on the roof to communicate with mobile phones should not be located near schools and playgrounds for children.

Cell phones while driving

Studies show that many accidents do not happen and the driver on the phone. This is because while driving is a clear need to focus and talk on the phone does not work. In some countries, like Portugal, have banned the use of mobile phones, which can not be very practical, because its main use is viable, while on the road. Therefore, we must take certain precautions while driving:
* Turn off the phone within reach, not your eyes on the road.
* Get to know the functions of the mobile phone - speed dial, redial, voice mail, which can be their Savior. But do not drive and drive at the same time. Use hands-free car.
* Do not use the phone when road conditions are hazardous or difficult movement. You can take your voicemail messages and call later.
* Do not engage in stressful conversations can distract your attention from the road.
* Do not take notes or look for phones while driving, wait until you can stop it.
* User Speed Dial. In fact, voice dialing, even better. She leaves both hands free. Frequently used numbers can be programmed.
* Do you have an answering machine is installed, which can amount to a message, please return the call. Let your travel companion managing phone calls, if not traveling alone.
