There are several different types of radiation present in our surroundings on a day to day basis. Electromagnetic energy from cell phones and radio towers are categorized as non-ionizing radiation and are generally thought to be harmless, while iodizing rays from x-rays and nuclear energy have been proven to cause cancer.

However, in recent years the sheer number of non-ionizing instruments in our environment has caused some scientists to wonder if the assumption that this type of radiation is truly safe at low levels as once thought. As cell phones, microwaves, satellites and radio have all become much more widespread, people claim to suffer everything from headaches to cancer as a result of their exposure to this “harmless” radiation

What is Radiation?

Within the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation is either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation is harmful to humans because exposure causes cells and genetic matter to mutate or change form. This can lead to various types of cancer, affecting the thyroid, breast, bladder, colon, liver, lung, esophagus, ovaries and stomach. Scientists also suspect links to other forms of cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Non-ionizing radiation, while it has believed to be safe, is now proven to overheat cells, causing them damage as well. Scientists cannot pinpoint the level at which this type of radiation becomes unsafe, as testing on humans presents an ethical dilemma. However, in animal studies, exposure to cell phone radiation for as little as two minutes is proven to have a damaging effect on the brain and blood vessels.

It is quite a leap from speculation to fact to assume that because non-ionizing cell phone radiation causes cell damage in animals, it must cause cancer in humans. However, the trends now becoming apparent in cancer as a result of low-level radiation exposure suggest an alarming link between the two.

Governments around the globe have taken steps to regulate the amount of non-iodizing radiation that a cell phone or microwave can emit. But is it enough? Victims of so-called “low-level radiation sensitivity” or “electromagnetic sensitivity” claim to suffer from migraine headaches, nausea, stomach ailments, hearing and vision problems and more as a result of the barrage of electromagnetic pollution in our environment. Simply avoiding these emissions simply isn’t possible as more and more cell phone towers and satellites pop up around the world.

Your cell phone is a microwave transmitter and it should bear a cancer warning! Microwave energy oscillates at millions to billions of cycles per second.  Microwave promotes rapid cell aging. Italian scientists have recently demonstrated that cell phone radiation makes cancerous cells grow aggressively. Cordless phones marked 900 megahertz or 2.4 gigahertz emits the same dangerous microwave radiation as cell phones.

Motorola advises consumers to avoid pointing a cellular antenna toward exposed parts of the body. But independent tests show that cell phones can also leak huge amounts of radiation from the keypad and mouthpiece. This radiation deeply penetrates brain, ear and eye tissues, which are especially susceptible to microwave damage. Belt clip cases allow cell phones to deliver radiation to the liver or kidney areas when a wired, hands-free earpiece is used.

Recent studies confirm that cell and cordless phone microwave can:

* Damage nerves in the scalp

* Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin

* Cause memory loss and mental confusion

* Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue

* Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors

* Create burning sensation and rash on the skin

* Alter the brain’s electrical activity during sleep

* Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer

* Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins

* Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells

* Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells

* Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels

* Stress the endocrine system, especially pancreas, thyroid, ovaries, testes.

Microwave to the head is extremely hazardous to children. Parents in some European nations are now warned to keep children away from cell phones. A University of Utah researcher found the younger the child, the more radiation is absorbed by the brain. Spanish researchers have shown that cell phones can alter electrical activity of a child’s brain for hours, causing drastic mood changes and possible behavior and learning disabilities. Scientists fear that cell phone radiation could damage human embryos.

It has already become impossible to imagine the modern world without the mobile communication. The issue of cellular phones’ harm to people’s health has been gaining a lot of attention as well, although scientists still do not have a common opinion about it. Russian medics try to look into the matter too.

The fact of cellular phone causing damage to people’s health has not been proved yet, although it raises much suspicion for medical specialists, scientists of the Moscow Medical Academy concluded, when they analyzed the information about biological effects of cellular phone radiation. Unfortunately, Russian scientists have not studied the effects before.

High-frequency decimeter radiation is considered the key harmful factor of cellular phones. Russia’s widespread GSM standard operates on 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies. It is rather hard to forecast biological effects of the cell phone radiation due to radiation power fluctuations caused with peculiarities of a cell phone, its operating conditions, and subscriber’s remoteness from base stations.

According to physiologists’ rich experiences, however, practically any type of radiation is hazardous to human health. Cellular phones are therefore considered conditionally safe – scientists continue exploring various aspects of cellular radiation’s influence on people’s health and environment.

The majority of researchers believe that the cellular phone radiation affects the nervous system and provokes the development of cancerous growths. The information on the issue is rather contradictory, though. Some specialists do not see any ties between cellular phones and cancerous tumors, other believe that the connection is obvious. It has been proved, however, that 900 MHz radio waves speed up the blood circulation in the cerebral cortex and change healthy people’s electroencephalography in the state of sleep.

For the time being, one may presume that cell phone radiation does not show a negative influence on people. The human body apparently possesses certain devices to protect phone users against radiation. Negative effects may easily manifest themselves for those cell phone users, who suffer from weak immune system. There is hardly any information about the influence that the phone radiation exerts on children. If cell phones bring harm to children, consequences for the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country may turn out to be unpredictable. For instance, it is impossible to predict, how cell phone users will act in this case. Smokers, for example, are perfectly aware of the harm that they cause to themselves, although the awareness of it can hardly make any of them quit smoking.
