Cell Phone Radiation


Over the past few years, researchers have found evidence proving cell phones could emit enough radiation to cause serious health risks. There is evidence to support both the theory that cell phones are not harmful to people and there is also enough evidence to support that they are in fact harmful to people. Cell phones emit signals via radio waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. These signals move at the speed of light. The scare is that the cell phones are placed directly on the head and is therefore exposed to tissue, which can be damaged by radiation. All electromagnetic matter falls somewhere on the energy spectrum, but scientists don't know if cell phones cause enough harm to your brain to worry about the issue or not.

  1. This is kind of creepy, some people are on their phones all the time so they must be getting a lot of radiation if this is true. Im probably not going to talk on my phone as much.

  2. I've heard about this before too. Talking on cellphones is definitely more dangerous than people may think. The radiation can also cause cancer which can become very dangerous.

  4. I had no idea that cell phones could actually be a health hazard due to the radiation. Because so many people talk on cell phones, this could be a problem.

  5. Cell phones are such an amazing invention you can't imagine anything being wrong with them. It is so weird that they could even cause health problems! It makes you think twice about using your phone.
