Phone is a carcinogen

Kompas.com - The panel of international experts says cell phones may be carcinogenic in humans. This was revealed after they examined dozens of studies on mobile phones that have been published. The statement issued by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of WHO's cancer research.

 They examined the presence or absence of a link between cancer and the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cell phones, microwaves, or radar. Experts classify the phone into the 2B category, which means that mobile phones may be carcinogenic or cause cancer in humans. Other content included in this category include the pesticide DDT and the combustion of gasoline fueled engines.
Last year has actually been carried out large-scale studies but found no link between cancer and mobile phones. But some advocacy groups to study and demonstrate the link between mobile phone usage is too often a type of brain cancer glioma, a rare but deadly though. However, the study is considered controversial because it begins at the time of those who have had cancer and then interviewed again how often they used cell phones in recent years.
 In more than 30 studies conducted in Europe, New Zealand and the United States, brain cancer patients is not reported often use mobile phones compared with healthy individuals. Currently an estimated 5 billion people worldwide use mobile phones or about three-quarters of the global population. Because it is very difficult to make comparisons between patients with brain tumors and mobile phone use is not. However, tumors and cancer is a long journey, so it is not appropriate if the called phone also has no long-term impact on health.

The phone sends a signal to the nearest tower via radio frequency waves, the same type with the FM radio waves and microwaves. However, cell phone radiation is not directly damage DNA and different types of radiation such as X-ray is more powerful or UV rays. At a higher level of radio frequency waves from mobile phones can create a network of heat, but not to damage the body's cells.
According to Cancer Research UK, the real dangers of cell phone use is a car accident. The group also recommends that adolescents aged less than 16 years of just using the phone for things that are important just because their brains and nervous systems are still in progress. Research conducted National Institutes of Health, U.S. revealed posnel use can increase brain activity, but not yet concluded whether it has harmful effects. Perhaps the article that I read from my http://lifestyle.okezone.com which translated into English this could be useful for you :-)
