The fact that cellular phones come with texting facility may appear as a respite once you read about some serious radiation facts. After reading these, I wouldn't be surprised if the thought of remaining "off the hook" flashes across your mind, even if it's for a fraction of a second.
To begin with, let me share an interesting revelation with regards to cell phone radiation. Not only cell phones but the signals emitted by the towers of various service providers, are responsible for the transmission of a lot of radiation into the atmosphere.
This is one of the most significant reasons behind the fast dwindling number of birds and the recent mass deaths of avians, as the radiation from these service towers is causing more and more flight birds to develop cancer, resulting in their mass demise!
Random Facts
Nowadays, with the sudden increase in information along with rumors about radiations emanating from cellular phones, the resultant harmful effects on users, and the environment in general, people have suddenly started showing concern over knowing more about radiation levels of various cell phone models.
The ways to incorporate radiation protection measures for themselves as well as their surroundings. Since knowledge about it is the best and first weapon we have against it, let's take a look at some serious facts of radiation from mobile phones and learn more about their effects.
Signals emitted by modulated mobile phones have been scientifically proved to drain the surface of the brain of vital calcium, thereby, weakening the brain membrane and making the brain vulnerable to various undesirable biological conditions such as cancerous growths.
The brain is where the damage starts but it is not the only part of the body that gets adversely affected by radiations. Damage to retina, joints, muscles, nerves, skin, and various other tissues follow close on the heels of brain damage.
Too much use of mobile phones also results in a decreased white blood cell count in the body, lowering the body's defense against diseases.
The radiations that are emitted by mobile phones have a much deeper effect upon our biology than just attacking and degenerating various organs. Exposure to these radiations, over a long period of time, eventually leads to degeneration of our DNA structure and robs the DNA of their ability to repair themselves.
Mobile phone radiation can also lead to behavioral and psychological issues in children whose brains are still in the developmental stage.
Long term or extensive exposure to radiations is also known to cause fertility issues.
Although the rumor about cooking an egg by placing it between two activated mobile phones may just be an urban myth, the modulated radio waves emitted by mobiles do have the ability to fry our brain cells.
These modulated radio waves cause the neurons of the brain to leak, inducing unnecessary and harmful nerve impulses that can lead to sleep disturbances, loss of concentration, mental fogginess, migraine, stress headaches, and seizures.
The same mechanism that is mentioned in the preceding point, causes dermal and cardiac membranes to leak, leading to various skin infections or serious heart conditions, such as abnormal palpitation and cardiac arrhythmia.
Compared to modulated radio waves, unmodulated radio waves are a lot safer, their only effect on the body upon long-term exposure, being an increase in the body temperature.
The modulated radiations of mobile phones also lead to the leakage of hemoglobin from blood cells. Extensive exposure leads to a heightened vulnerability to asthma and various allergies, due to accentuation of the production of histamines in mast cells.
Radiation from cellular phones leads to various digestive and metabolic abnormalities and is an active agent in raising the harmful cholesterol levels in blood.
These radiations also put a lot of pressure on our endocrine system, leading to abnormal function of the glands.
Certain products known as radiation shields for cell phones, are available in the market these days, that claim to be effective in neutralizing cellular radiations and various other forms of electromagnetic radiations emanated by Wi-fi routers or other wireless electronic equipment. I am sure that after reading about these facts, you will display more care when using such equipment, or near one, that creates a dense modulated radio wave field around it.
Try using land line phones for conversation as much as possible and manage with texting when not within convenient locus of a land line connection. Take as much care as you can to decrease you cellular phone use - after all, for a change this time, it's you who are the direct victims of technology before environment.
