Does Mobile Phones cause Brain Cancer ?

Most people in developed countries use mobile phones. It has become a necessity. What most of the world does not know is that mobile phones cause brain cancer. Out of every 1000 people using mobiles 4 out of them end up with brain cancer. This figure is likely to rise from 4 to 6 if there is no sensitization campaign.

Mobile phones emit microwaves. The intensity of microwaves is highest at the moment a call is being initiated. Even when not using a mobile phone it still emit microwaves. As such if the phone is in someone’s pocket it may cause diseases associated to the organs in direct contact with the phone. If someone goes to bed with a mobile phone under her pillow the brain is exposed to microwaves for nearly 7 hours.

But studies have revealed that brain tumours occur only after 10 years of excessive use of mobile phones. As such if the newer generations start using mobiles at the age of 13 it is likely that a good proportions of the population may be diagnosed for brain tumours at the age of 23 and they may die by the age of 26.

Most vulnerable of all are children as their brains are still developing, and are more receptive to microwaves. Children skulls are thinner than those of adults. If children use mobiles for hours they should develop brain tumours in their adolescence. Some phones designed for children have been removed from the market on ethical grounds. There is much publicity that encourage children to ask for mobile phones from their parents. Cartoons depicting use of mobile phones aim at building a market for mobile phones amongst the children.

More vulnerable than children is the feotus – the unborn child. Pregnant women using mobiles or keeping the mobile in their pocket put the feotus to risk of developing cancer. Prepnant women know they should not consume alcohol or cigarettes. Now they should add mobiles in the list. Not only mobile phones emit microwaves. Laptops also emit microwaves. So if a pregnant lady is using her mobile with her laptop in her laps, there is constructive interference of the radiation from these two sources and the resulting intensity is the product of these two.

Microwaves are also found in microwave ovens. Microwaves have a heating effect. As such when using mobile phones the microwave heats up the brain. If used for hours at a stretch it is likely to soon cause brain tumour which may or may not trigger into a brain cancer depending on remedial action taken. Some brands of mobile phones emit stronger radiation than others. Users can use a radiation detector sold on the market to determine if the intensity of radiation is at safe levels.

Microwaves apart from being emitted by mobile phones and microwave ovens are also emitted by computers, televisions, electric cables, cars and any other electric equipment. The intensity of the radiation decreases as square of the distance. As such it we keep a short distance away from an equipment we are safe. Only equipment and cables in direct contact with the body are very dangerous.

Use of Bluetooth is more dangerous than using the mobile alone because the bluetooth receive signals from all nearby equipments and focus it right inside the ear and is likely to cause ear cancer. Also the user is likely to keep the Bluetooth in her ear all the time. But use of earphone is safe as it keeps the mobile far from the brain. Users should be encouraged to use sms, to use speaker mode and to use landlines.

The reason why most people are ignorant of the dangers of mobile phones is that mobile phone companies are billion dollar companies that control the economy, the media, televisions, radios and magazines. So all information against their favour are censored. Strong people arguing against them are soon brought to silence.
