| Some arguments as to the possible dangers with mobile phones: |
Suggested Danger:
Radio waves given off by mobiles can heat up body tissue, having damaging effects.
Argument:
Radio waves are not powerful enough to cause heat damage to the body.
Suggested Danger:
Magnetic fields created by mobile phones can affect the way that your body cells work.
Argument:
The magnetic fields are incredibly small, and so unlikely to affect cells in our body.
Suggested Danger:
People who make long mobile phone calls sometimes complain of fatigue, headaches, and loss of concentration.
Argument:
The same results have never been reported in laboratory conditions and may be due to other factors in modern lifestyles.
Suggested Danger:
Mobile phone users are 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer in areas of the brain adjacent to their phone ears.
Argument:
Researchers admit it's unclear this increase is linked to using mobiles.
Suggested Danger:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer found a link between childhood cancer and power lines. Like mobile phones, power lines also emit radiation.
Argument:
The radiation produced by powerlines is a different kind of radiation, with much more energy than that coming from mobile phones.
Suggested Danger:
Radio frequency waves similar to those in mobile phones altered the gene expression in nematode worms.
Argument:
Worms are not humans, there is no guarantee that our brain cells will behave in the same way.
