Cell phone radiation is more dangerous than commonly thought

Nearly 200 scientists have petitioned the United Nations to issue warnings and guidelines on health protection due to the harmful effects of radiation emitted from phones, laptops...

"Electronic devices are damaging cells in the body and will soon lead to human death," said Martin Blank, a former lecturer who researched the effects of radiation on cells at Columbia University Medical Center.

A group of scientists recommended that the United Nations issue appropriate warnings about the harmful effects of smartphones and tablets on human health, especially children.

"Mobile phone towers are covering all living spaces today. The scary thing is that telecommunications radiation and wireless technology damage DNA in cells. This is the reason why many biomedical scientists explain the increasing rate of cancer." Scientists also say that electromagnetic radiation causes disorders of the nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

"Cell biologists may understand the finer details of the human body," Black said. "But physicists, engineers, politicians and people in industry decide what is safe. We have more and more electromagnetic radiation in our environment than we can control. At such high concentrations, biological reactions or medical problems are occurring and causing more disease."

This scientist also believes that there is a link between electromagnetic radiation in the environment and the increase in obesity and autism. He believes that we should stay away from wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops... when not in use.

Collective-evolution website further emphasizes the impact of electromagnetic radiation on children's brains due to their much higher absorption capacity than adults. However, scientists also advise parents not to worry too much. While waiting for the final scientific conclusions, parents can take some protective measures.

Do not let young children use cell phones or other wireless devices, except in emergencies. Children are more susceptible to radiation from cell phones because their skulls are thinner than those of adults. Even parents should limit their use of these devices.

If your work and communication require you to keep your phone with you or work at high intensity, choose an older model that operates at 900 MHz. It is not safer when making a call, but it is better than not making a call. In addition, in areas with weak signal, it is better to turn off the phone because at this time mobile waves can easily penetrate and have a negative impact on the human body.

Avoid carrying your phone with you and never put it under your pillow or near your head when you sleep. Ideally, keep it in your bag, rather than in your pocket, as it can affect fertility or be bad for your heart if placed in your breast pocket.
