the mobile phone is the biggest domestic appliance source of radiation ever invented. An electronics expert has claimed that some people who use mobile phones heavily have started to develop cancer.
I totally agree about the harmfull affects a cell can effect on us but it is a part of life but wo danger the only remedy is a good permanent handsfree kit which also has a bonus of keeping ur both hands free 2 do other things even if u are not driving. I REALISED the impact & seriousness of the harm by simple 2 test no. 1 while talking on a wired normal land line & no.2 while listening 2 any radiostation on any radioset plus simultaneously in the middle try incoming or outgoing on a mobile & result the truth .
mobile phone is convenient and useful for all kinds of people. it is no longer a status symbol. it creates societal problems when it is made hi-tech with additional functions which are not expected by common man. But occasionally reports are coming in regarding harmful effects of cellphone use. It is high time to publish more on the subject. People need to know about dos and donts of cell phone use. Your article is very informative. we expect more like this.
I'm working at IIT Bombay.I read the article. It's very good but Dr Chris Desouza, ENT consultant with Holy Family Hospital, Leelavati Hospital and Tata Hospital, Mumbai, says use of cellphone gives exposure to ionizing radiation. This is not true, actually it is non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation emits from radio active materials. Still non-ionizing radiation are harmful for human health if exposed to a long duration.For more information, mail to ssatav@ee.iitb.ac.in
