Mobile phones has become more of a necessity over the years. Everybody seems to own a cellphone. It has become a major tool for communication. One of the reasons why millions of people patronizes the use of mobile phone is because of its convenience and benefits mobile phone communications has to offer. Whether you are a stay-home mom, a businessman, student or an employee, mobile phones bridges the distance among our colleagues, friends or loved ones.
Since the first mobile phone has been released, there is a lot of debate about whether mobile phones poses threats to its users such as the possibility of getting cancer cells out from it.
According to an article publised by USA Today, the head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cellphone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
Up to this date, there hasn't been a published research regarding this. But even without the published data, we should start taking this seriously. Years ago, researchers had a hard time linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer. But many years later, we find out that cigarette smoking is one of the leading cause of lung cancer.
The major issue here is electromagnetic radiation, especially its possible effects on children especially for long-term use.
But this research doesn't mean we have to stop using mobile phones, however, it is better to take precautionary measures. This would include avoiding prolonged usage of mobile phones. It should also be a definite No- No for children.
