For more than a decade, mankind has been arguing about the impact of a mobile phone on health. Since the nineties, research results have appeared that prove that the use of the phone causes serious health changes and the refutation of these studies, which are prepared by the same serious scientists. To date, there is no final information that would confirm or disprove the harm from using a mobile phone.
At the moment it is definitely established that certain harm from mobile phones is still present. Basically it is related to the electromagnetic radiation that the phone generates around itself, as well as any other device that operates on electricity - a TV set, a refrigerator, a microwave oven and the like. However, the fact is that the phone usually interacts a lot with our head, which increases the negative influence of this field on the organism by an order of magnitude. According to some studies, this type of radiation is very harmful to humans, mainly because the effects of its effects may not appear for a long time, since it is very difficult to notice the extraneous influence on such a complex and sensitive organ as our brain, on which much the human body.
In general, a mobile phone affects not only the head of a person, but also the rest of the body as a whole, since many of us constantly have the phone with us, sometimes even at night, afraid to miss an important call. Thus, due to the fact that next to us in the immediate vicinity is always an extra source of negative electromagnetic radiation, our body is in increased danger.
The most sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation of a mobile phone are children. Because their bones, including the bones of the skull, are thinner than the bones of the skulls of adults, they are less likely to block harmful radiation, and because of the small (again in comparison with the adults) weight parameter SAR for them can be much more than calculated.
SAR (which stands for Specific Absorption) is an indicator of radiation that determines the energy of the field that is released in the human body in a time equal to one second. With this parameter, researchers can measure how a mobile phone affects a person's body. It is measured in watts per kilogram. The threshold value for electromagnetic radiation is two watts per kilogram.
Researchers of the European Union have shown that radiation, which is within the SAR values of 0.3 to 2 watts per kilogram, can damage even DNA in the force.
Scientists, having surveyed more than ten thousand children, have determined that frequent use of mobile phones during pregnancy can negatively affect the health of the future child.
There are well-known results of the research of Dr. J. Highland from the University of Warwick, Great Britain. He argues that mobile phones are not safe, in particular they can cause sleep disorders, loss of memory and other health problems. He also says that this affects children much more, since their immune system is less effective than that of adults.
In addition, the leadership of the European Parliament's research made a report recommending that all countries in the European Union completely prohibit the use of mobile phones by persons under the age of adolescence. According to their report, the use of mobile communication can hinder the development of the child, and also negatively affects his assessments at school. In the studies, the results of which were included in the report, scientists from the Warwick University, the British Group of Independent Experts and the German Institute of Biophysics participated.
In the UK, there is already a ban on the sale of mobile phones for people under the age of adolescence. Also, children under the age of 8 are completely prohibited from using mobile phones.
