Should Cell Phone Radiation Be a Concern for Your Health?

As cell phones become part of our every day live, we have learned to live, eat and sleep with these phones besides us.

As cell phones become part of our every day live, we have learned to live, eat and sleep with these phones besides us. As the increase in the usage of mobile phone increases,there is a high chance of exposure to electromagnetic field radiation through cell phone and mobile tower radiation. This has caused concern amongst many as they believe such radiation exposure will cause harm to the health. However, we provide you with information that will assure you that such exposure will not cause any harm to your health.

Certain points are taken into consideration when it comes to exposure to mobile phone radiation:

Cell phone network technology

Normally, cell phones run on the radio frequency energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. This electromagnetic spectrum comprises of two types of electromagnetic field radiation namely, the ionizing and the non – ionizing type. Cell phones run on the technology which emits a form of non – ionizing form of radiation, which is easily absorbed by the human tissue closest to where the phone is held. This non – ionizing form of radiation does not cause any permanent harm when exposed to the human body, even through mobile tower radiation.

Cell phone model

Ever since the introduction of mobile phones, more and more individuals are beginning to use mobile phones and smart phones to communicate with each other. With this convenience, the number of cell phone calls per day and the length of each call have increased. Even the amount of time mobile phone user’s use their phones have increased. The amount of mobile phone radiation a cell phone user is exposed to depends on certain factors. This includes the technology of the phone, distance between the phone’s antenna and the mobile phone user, the extent and type of use, and the user’s distance from cell phone towers. Today, cell phone technology has undergone substantial changes to prevent any harm to health with even the slightest exposure to electromagnetic field radiation. Therefore, if you are using the latest cell phone model, there is no fear of the exposure causing any harm to health.

Cell phone tower

With the increase in cell phone network, more and more mobile phone towers are being constructed to support this excessive traffic. This has caused concern for residents who have these towers upon their high rise buildings. However, these towers emit mobile tower radiation high into the atmosphere which spreads over a large distance. By the time the radiation reaches the ground, it has dispersed over a wide space. Thus, even if you are exposed at the ground level no harm will come to you. Residents who live on the higher floors are also safe as the building material prevents these radiations from entering the internal structure. Thus in this way, even mobile tower radiation will not cause any long term harm to the health.
