“Cell phones and other electrical devices can cause cancer among the users” it has been a heated issue for a quite long time.
Origin of this concept
The origin of this widespread concept is those scientific studies that suggest a link between cell phones and brain cancer is found. Similarly, many lawsuits and news headlines show concerns about possible link between cell phones and cancer. Almost 30% American believe that a connection is found between cancer and cell phones.
There are some studies that suggest a link between the use of cell phone and some rare kinds of brain tumors but according to some other well-designed population studies no such link is found between cell phone use and brain tumor. It is not an easy task to conduct precise studies to know the risk factors for some rare cancers like brain cancer. The biggest hurdle in the way of precise study is the collection of reliable data. In this connection, those studies that gather information from healthy people about latent risk factors and then follow the cases for many years to observe which diseases development can be relied.
There are some studies that suggest small risk of cancer but due to statistical problems and data’s inaccuracy these studies cannot be relied upon. But we must keep in mind that majority of these published studies did not find any danger of cancer due to mobile phone use.
Usually, it happens so that in the news reports usually those few studies are emphasized in which it is suggested that there is something dangerous with the use of mobile phone but those reports that show there is no danger do not get the deserve coverage and publish on some far off nook that none can easily access or likes to access.
Not the use of mobile is a proven danger but the danger that is really life threatening is to use mobile while driving. Risk of car accident many times increases when cell phone is used while driving. Use of cell phone while driving is a significant issue instead of finding links between cell phone and brain cancer.
Low frequency radiation and DNA changes
Cell phones and other electronic devices releases radiation that is low in frequency and ionizing radiation like gamma rays and X-rays can cause change in DNA in the cells and this change leads towards cancer. But we must keep in mind that low frequency and non-ionizing radiation does not be the cause of changes in DNA.
Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) proposes advice to people who remain suspicious about possible health effects from cell phones. CDRH’s experts tell about some handy ways to decrease the risk of exposure to radio frequency radiation while using mobile phone.
There are many other causes of cancer and air pollution is one of them so people must have complete understanding of these causes and they must also try to eliminate these dangerous causes and so far the link between use of mobile phone and cancer is concerned, there is no such study as may prove this link.
