There was no denying that mobile phones (mobile phone) has been widely present a variety of convenience in human life. Although much debated, many people worried about the negative impact of radiation caused.
The largest study ever conducted about the dangers of mobile phones has denied the existence of the risk of brain cancer in penggguna phone. Research conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates the risk is too great not to worry about.
However, recent research in India again emphasized the threat of cancer, especially in children and adolescents. The researchers, Prof Girish Kumar said that even radiation hazard also exists in some Base Transceiver Station (BTS).
"One base station can transmit power 50-100W. Countries that have many mobile operators such as India could be exposed to 200-400W power. Radiation can not be underestimated, can be very deadly," said Prof Kumar.
Quoted from DNAindia, following a number of negative impacts that can be caused by excessive radiation from mobile phone base stations and towers:
1. Risk of brain cancer in children and adolescents increased 400 percent due to the use of mobile phones. Users are getting younger age, the greater the impact caused by cell phone radiation.
2. Not only in children and adolescents, in adults too dangerous cell phone radiation. The use of mobile phone 30 minutes / day for 10 years can increase the risk of brain cancer and acoustic neuroma (a type of brain tumor that can cause deafness).
3. Cell phone radiation is also harmful to male fertility. According to research, excessive use of mobile phones could lower sperm count by 30 percent.
4. Phone's radio frequency can cause changes in human DNA and form free radicals in the body. Free radicals are carcinogens or compounds that can trigger cancer.
5. Phone's radio frequency also affect the performance of life support equipment (live saving gadgets) such as pacemakers. The result can increase the risk of sudden death.
6. A study to prove the production of stress hormones cortisol increase in the use of mobile phones in a long duration. Increased levels of stress is one form of the body's rejection response to things that endanger health.
7. Electromagnetic fields around the tower base stations can reduce the body's immune system. As a result the body more often experience allergic reactions such as rashes and itching.
8. The use of mobile phones more than 30 minutes / day for 4 years can lead to hearing loss (deafness). Mobile phone radiation could trigger persistent tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hair cell damage which is the audio sensors on the organ of hearing.
9. Due to the excessive use of mobile phones, which use radio frequency (900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2450 MHz) can increase the temperature in the layer of the eye that lead to corneal damage.
10. Emissions and cell phone radiation can reduce the body's immune because it reduces the production of melatonin. In the long term, this condition can affect the health of bones and joints and lead to arthritis.
11. Risk of cancer in saliva glands increased as a result of excessive use of mobile phones.
12. Magnetic field around the phone that lights can trigger damage to the nervous system that have an impact on sleep disorders. In the long term damage it can accelerate dementia.
13. Electromagnetic fields around base stations also have an impact on the environment. Birds and bees to often experience disorientation or loss of direction, so easy to stress because they can not find a way back to the nest.
