According to scientists, cell phones were marked as “possibly carcinogenic.”(Trottier 1 ) In other words, it means that there may possibly be a link between the use of cellphones and cancer. However, too little time has passed to detect if cell phones can cause cancer, researchers found no evidence of a link between cellphones and brain tumors and there is no evidence from studies that radiofrequency can cause cancer. More and more evidence is showing up that cell phone do not cause cancer. In one study scientist followed more than 420,00 cell phone users over a 20-year period, researchers found no evidence of a link between cell phones and brain tumors. There have been hundreds of studies done to the linkage of cell phones and cancer …show more content…
Also studies to this day provide no indication that environmental exposure to radiofrequency fields, such as from cell phone, increase the risk of cancer or any other disease. Researchers found no risk of glioma and meningioma cancer. However there was a increase risk of glioma to people who used phone a lot, but the the study was inclusive because there was a possible bias in the way the data was being collected. Another study found no brain tumor risk when comparing cell phone users to non cell phone user. Meaning people who did not use cell phones at all had the same risk of getting cancer as the people who used cell phones. Another key fact is that teens brains are still developing and are more vulnerable than adults. Even though we know that cell phones to this day show no fact of linkage between cell phones and cancer it is too early to tell. Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation . Non-ionizing refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms, meaning the radiation isn't harmfull. Ionizing radiation like x-rays or gamma-rays are known to cause cancer. The low radiation emitted by cellular phones, however, cannot break chemical bonds like ionizing radiation can. So, no substantial biological tissue warming occurs with radio frequencies emitted by cellular …show more content…
Say you run for about 45 minutes and lose about 500 calories if you convert that to to watts and divide it by your weight in kg you will find that you absorbed about 14 watts of microwave radiation. Can you conclude that running will also cause cancer? That is why it scientist shouldn't have posted that cellphones are possibly carcinogenic. Emily oster in her argument said “brain tumor rates are pretty much unchanged since cell phones have arrived” after so many year can we conclude that cell phone are safe? We are constantly being surrounded by radiation and you don't even know it. Radiation from your tv, radio, and wiff but the radiation again is not strong enough to really cause an effect. How long do we have to wait to get the okay that cell phones are safe to us and don't cause cancer? Even though scientist say that cell phone increase the risk of getting glioma cancer there statistic don't add up. Researches said “ cell phone use increased this risk of getting cancer to 3 out of 100,00 people to 9 out of 100,000.” However when they saw the rates from everyone in the world the rates of of cancer remained the same. From this you can include that there trial was false because if the rates jumped up to 6 more people you would have seen the rates of getting cancer go up from everyone in the world. So can we conclude that cell phones are safe to use for teenagers

Just by looking at the images from the Spirit of Health study there is an obvious difference. On one set of cells the size and shape completely changed. Twenty minutes after the cell phone call was made the cells clumped together becoming two to three times bigger than the original. One reason the cells could be clumping together is because of lack of oxygen and death of the cells. The proximity of the cells to the mobile phone could by one reason the cells are dying but in children the radiation would travel much further theoretical killing many more cells. In a study conducted by Nora Volkow, the Head of National Institute on Drug Abuse, a PET scanner was used to look at the brain activity while having a phone next to a subject’s head. The study

On his book, each volume focuses on one specific point and offer a variety of perspectives. He explores the relationship between cell phone and cancer and focuses on controversies surrounding research findings to date. He used eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, and newspaper accounts to present the critical social issue. He said the only one reliable way to discover what cause cancer and what does not is statistical: experiment and epidemiological. However, the World Health Organization and many doctors and medical researchers still suspect whether cell phone radiation would causes brain cancer.
In the debate article discuss the topics of cell phones giving off radiation and transferring it to the human brain. This is a big deal because a lot of Americans own or use phones. The article goes on to say that researchers have found that people have brain tumors and damage in DNA due to cell phones. This article deals with a lot of controversy because many people believed cell phones were the cause of brain tumors, it was such a big issue many inventors were sued in the 1990s. The debate can go on and on, however this is not keeping anyone from buying more phones.
Bruce Studz, a scientist that is studying about weather or not cell phones are safe or not says that Cell Phones can cause brain and mouth cancer. Cell phones have become over popular, there are parents buying their 5 year old child the new iPhone’s. Back where the children's parents were younger they probably did not even get a cell phone tell they were around fifteen. ( Cell Phone Safety 1) Scientists have said multiple times, that there has been people that have got some kind of disease called glioma. The people that have got this disease from either being on there phone way too much or talking on there phone way too much. ( Cell Phone Safety
I am going to talk about the arguments about how cell phone radiation can affect our lives and whether these arguments are accurate or not. Cell phone radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has the ability to cause health issues. The radiation from this device can cause serious brain tumours, according to one study by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, which found that people who use their cell phone for more than 2000 hours have a higher chance of getting a brain tumour. The
With cell phone usage increasing, many individuals have become concerned about the health effects of radiation from cell phones and cell phone towers. In recent years, various studies have been conducted to determine whether the radio frequency waves from cell phone towers have a detrimental effect on health. Current research has yielded inconsistent results regarding the effects of radio frequency waves, and while the World Health Organization does not view radio frequency waves as serious risk, more research needs to be done in order to be certain (USDA, 2009).
Did you know that the cancer government, the federal communications commission’s says that hundreds of millions of Americans uses cell phones, and cell phones can cause you to have brain tumors? Did you also know that both adults and children spend most of their time on phone? When using your phone, it might give you a neck problem because in respect to cancer, concern focuses on whether cell phones might increase the risk of brain tumors in the head and neck area. But let me tell you something, as many of us use our phones daily, do we ever stop and think it might affect our body? No because we are so into social media and playing games that we don’t have time to think that it’s going to affect us. People say that phones are safe and other say they aren’t. I say that they can be safe at some time it can also depend what you do, and how long you use it for. Therefore, many of us get distracted easily and it’s pretty hard to get back on track. In 1973, the first portable cell phone was discovered, due to the cause that cell phones may not be safe at some time cell phones are also very important because in case of an emergency you will have a device with you.
Cell phone radiation lacks the energy necessary to break chemical bonds which is the only known method of action for cancer causing radiation.
Phones can cause brain tumors or acoustic nueromas (Colipie). If students are allowed to use
radiation (the kind used in X-rays) is known to cause cancer at high doses, the risks of
The good news is that there are a few simple solutions that help in lowering one’s risk of exposure to radiation. First of all, holding the phone away from the face and using the speaker phone instead leads to ten thousand times less exposure. In addition, using a wired headset gives less exposure into the ear. Secondly, since carrying the phone in one’s pocket leads to exposure to his or her bone marrow, one should simply keep the phone off. Lastly, the weaker the signal in the phone, the more the radio frequency signal has to enhance itself to get into the phone; thus, one should avoid using the phone if it appears to have a weak signal. Basically, one gets greater exposure to radiation with a weaker signal. Indeed, it is never too late to prevent oneself from such hazards.
However there had done others study that express the connection between cell phones and different types of biological damage to human body. For example The European Journal of Scientific Research conducted a lab experiment with normal human astrocytes, an LG Verizon cell phone and MRET-Nylon chip. The experiment revealed that normal human astrocytes cell that were exposed to cell phone radiation at a room temperature without the MRET-Nylon chip decreased by 20% less . Igor Smirnov is one of the author of this experiment and he stated on his article that "It is well documented that cell phones, which emit electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range, can cause DNA damage, headaches, blurred vision, dizziness,fatigue, short term memory loss, neuralgias, tumors, sleep disturbances, aberrant brain wave activity and changes to cerebral blood flow, including altering the permeability of the blood brain barrier" (Smirnov, 2009). Smirnov statement and finding about the emission of electromagnetic wave from cell phones gives a lot to think. Even-tough it's a small amount of radiation that is being emitted from cell-phones, because they are held very close to the head at the end of a long term usage the risk of brain cancer and others health problems will
Furthermore, Mobile phones are harmful to user’s health so they can affect their learning ways. Researchers have been found that mobile phones produce waves that are harmful to heart, internal and reproductive organs. Also, radiation from mobile phones can damage brain cell. (http://hubpages.com/hub/Effects-of-cell-phone--mobile-phone-use-on-our-brain-and-memory). For example, mobile phones can be implicated in brain tumours as a result of electromagnetic fields or radiation.
