Health Hazards of Mobile phones

  • Hand held cellular telephones, using pulse modulated signals of frequency 870-995 MHz, are being used increasingly. Most reports of health symptoms related to use of these phones are anecdotal.
  • People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the environmnent ministry of the German government said in september 2007.
    Wi-fi networks operate in the 2.4 and 5 GHz microwave bands, that is the same order of magnitude as GSM mobile phone microwaves (0,9-1,8 GHz) and the latest mobile brand G3 (1,9-2 GHz and 2,1-2,2 GHz). Higher frequencies are known to be more harmful.
  • Men who carry mobile phones in their trouser pockets may be at risk of damaging their sperm count, according to research by Hungarian scientists.
  • Science has proved that your mobile acts like a microwave transmitter bearing a cancer warning! Energy at millions to billions of cycles per second can do you more harm than good – it has been reported that these frequencies cause cancer and several other diseases by intercepting in your body the nodes with cellular DNA and its repair mechanisms. This in turn promotes cell aging.

These are just few effects. There are many more. So have short talks and limited use.
