DANGER FROM MOBILE USING

Mobile users
The speculative fears of mobile phones being a danger to health in the long run, seem to be coming true. A latest government study talks about the harmful effects of not just using mobile phones but also the radiation from mobile phone towers.

In our India each and every one person have a mobiles and using the mobiles. The mobile radiations from mobile phones and towers poses serious health risks, including loss or decrease of memory power, lack of concentration, disturbance in the digestive system and sleeping disturbances, according to an inter ministerial committee formed by the ministry of communications and information technology to study the hazards posed by mobile phones.

One India also reported that the damages may not be lethal for humans, but they worse for birds and insects as well. The committee has attributed the radiation effects to the disappearance of butterflies, bees, insects and sparrows.

The government report also says that mobile towers should not be installed near high density residential areas, schools, playgrounds and hospitals. "Over a six minute period using a mobile and using a 10 gram average mass. With higher SAR values of mobile handsets the public could potentially receive much higher radio frequency exposure. We have recommended that SAR levels to be lowered down to 1.6 watt/kg, as prescribed by the Federal Communication Commission of US".

The eight member committee, which included representatives from the health ministry, department of bio-technology and member secretary, DoT, has recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard levels of specific absorption rate a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone should be barred.

Indian cell phone users are more at risk for adverse affect of radiation due the country's hot tropical climate, low body mass index, and low fat content. "We have recommended amendment in the Indian Telegraph Act 1885 and rules so that only mobile handsets satisfying radiation standards should be permitted in the country".

In another report, citizens are scared of the radiation from mobile tower in Andheri.
In the past five years, more than 15 housewives living in Sher-e-Punjab colony in Andheri (East) have suffered from various forms of cancer. Although there is no proof of a direct link, residents are drawing parallels between the appearance of the first cancer case and the installation of the first mobile phone tower in the society nearly seven years ago.

Who has been studying the biological effects of mobile phone towers, All these women don’t have any family history of cancer. Plus, all of them are within a certain radius of those mobile towers. All this is not a coincidence. So how do we minimise the damage in view of such grave consequences. While talking on mobile, keep calls short or send a text message (SMS). This advice should be especially relevant keeping in mind the children, adolescents and pregnant women. The advice should be printed in the user manual by handset manufacturers.

Whenever possible, use cell phone when the signal quality is good. People having active medical implants should keep their cell phone at least 30 cm away from the implant.

Many a times we find ourselves complaining of bad network in certain areas. Mobile companies raise towers at every nook and corner to beat each other at network coverage. Are we compromising our health for better mobile connections?

I always suggest people to use Land Line Phones rather than Mobile Phones because of the huge health risks. Though, presently, only BSNL is providing real Land Line (WLL system Land line is actually nothing but Mobile Telephones and same radiations like Mobiles). Using Land Line has many advantages when you are not in moving.

1) Voice Quality is far better than any Mobile phones in India and even abroad too.
2) It is costlier but there is very rare chance to disrupt while talking as it does not depend on any Signals. While, major power stations, Electrical installations create Magnetic flux and thus create attunuation loss, mobile phones can disrupt at any time even with out any fault of the operators. People use Land Line while discussing important issues with others.
3) Radiation creates health risk. It is already published in The Times of India, that many private operators use higher signal strength than allowed in order to satisfy common public. Though using such higher strength signals increases little bit higher clarity, it affects immensely brain, nerve system and even other parts like Kidneys or Testis.
4) Keeping land Line has become now Status Symbol now as mobile phones are not only cheep, but one can observe it even with Rickshaw puller's hand. So, the lesson is, Use mobile as minimum as possible and try to use Land Line as much as possible to keep you healthy.

It is for those people who are still not agree about the fact that radiation is dangerous for the population living near by just think for one second a life with cancer you can not imagine the pain and suffering of the person with cancer ask yourself is it ok to risk your life just for a so called facility to communicate take action before its too late because once you get the disease you can't do anything except sufferings and a lot of sufferings as I have closely watched the people having cancer. Still if you feel its all rubbish then go ahead talk a lot on cell phone and install a tower on your head.

Warning bell for user and future generation, mobile has become every ones part of daily life now how to avoid the damages from this hazardous radiation is part of governing agencies and mobile companies to take care of this problem, my kind request to the mobile user, please use SMS service as much as you can.
