Cellphone and cancer



Cellphone and Cancer
In our modern life, we are swimming in a sea of Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR). The EMR from mobile phones are cause cancer and pose human health. In 1993 Dr. George carlo was hired by Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) to prove that cellphones were indeed safe. After six years of research (in 1999), stated publicity that cellphone use was not safe. That it may indeed cause cancer and pose humen health risks.


In this modern age, avoiding the use of cellphone should not be a better solution. The best protection against cellphone radiation is keeping a safe distance. So, always use a headset or speaker phone when ever possible to minimize explosure to harmful cellphone radiation. Also you can take text instead of calling.  Pregnant should avoid carrying cellphone next to your abdomen. Always keep minimum 1 inch from your body. Peoples should not sleep with an active phone next to besides or umder the pillows.

   Before selecting a phone, check the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) also.its a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic field of a handset. SAR can be change constantly depending on several factors. You can request SAR information from the manufacturer.
