Cell Phone Plans And Phones

In 1993, a man from Tampa, Florida appeared on ‘Larry King Live’ and told the American nation that his wife died because of a cell phone, and further sued the mobile phone industries for causing  a fatal brain tumor to his wife. From that moment the stock prices for Motorola and other mobile telephony providers fell, and the officials of cell phone industries have paid for a 25 million $ research study to investigate the biological side effects of using cell phones.
The truth is that first cell phones were launched on the market without testing their safety. Later studies showed that radio frequency radiation is linked with brain tumors, lymphoma, and leukemia, indicating that mobile phone users have an increased risk of brain cancer. Also, the phones` emissions can break down the blood drain barrier, causing micro-nuclei in cells and other small areas of genetic damage very often one of the signs of cancer. Nowadays, people are actually swimming in a sea of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) produced by different electrical appliances, power lines, buildings` wiring, and other technologies produced and necessary for the modern life. They range from dishwasher and microwave ovens in the kitchen to the next to bed clock radio, or the cell phone that we hold to our ears for hours, sometimes or maybe every day, exposing ourselves to real health problems.

That`s why mobile phone users have to be aware of the risks they expose themselves to: the risk of dying from brain cancer is significantly higher for cell phone users who hold their devices against their heads in comparison to those who keep them away; the use of cell phones for more than six years is associated with a 50% increase in the risk of developing an acoustic neuroma, a benign nerve tumor in  the proximity of the ear, in the area were radiation comes from the cell phone antenna; the regular use of a mobile phone doubles the risk of developing neuro epithelial tumors outside the brain. Most of all, it is known the fact that radio waves coming from cell phones are very likely to cause damage to DNA and cells, effects inherited by the next generation of cells.

Of course, this harmful health effects of using a cell phone are most probably insignificant for those who use one for emergency cases only. But if using a cell phone on a daily basis is part of your life too, you must use a headset or a similar device that allows the communication without pressing the phone against the head. From all categories of users, children are exposed to a higher risk of negative health effects from using such devices, because their rapidly dividing cells are more likely to be damaged by radio waves coming from cellular phones. Even though mobile phone companies encourage children and teenagers to own such a device through heavy marketing campaigning, as being trendy and cool parents and teachers should explain them that heavy using of cells is a real danger for the health.

In U.S. mobile industries have teamed up with government agencies like FDA (The Food and Drug Administration) to spoil media`s efforts to correctly inform the public opinion, critics actually calling this agency ‘the people`s myopic watchdog who never barked’. In the same time,  many Asian and Eastern European countries have very high cell phone usage rates because of lacking telecommunications infrastructure, which makes the use of cell phones or mobile devices more economical than traditional land lines. In 2005, Korea had a 80% usage of camera mobile phones for a 45 million population.
