Cell Phone Antenna May Pose Health Hazards

There is growing agreement that cell phone antennas may be harmful to humans due to the immense volume of magnetism waves that get concentrated about it during the receipt and placing of calls. This danger is even as further aggravated by cellular manufacturers who place the internal antennas close to the earpiece.
Mobile phones are fundamentally radio sets and therefore emit energy radio signals that can penetrate the body and cause harm.
There have been several commissions on the study of the effect of mobile phone on the human body and the most pronounced has been The Stewart Report which recommended that radio waves so
penetrate human bodies from mobile phone antennas and specially recommended that children who evidently have softer skulls be extra careful and use the device sparingly. The report further went on to state that the brain cells of children are not as fully developed as those of adults and can therefore be at greater risk as they absorb the radiation more than fully hardened adult skulls.
These hazards may exist but cell phones have become part of everyday living like cars and cannot be distributed
with. In the light of this fact, doing away with our phones may not be a practical approach to resolution the health hazards issue. Rather we can adopt several habits to mitigate the effects of the radiation.
Children should not use cell phones for long calls. They should sue land lines instead so as to minimize the length of contact with the radiation emitted by the device.
Consumers should buy phones with low specific absorption rate (SAR). Mobile phones should be unbroken
away from the body as more as possible. They can be put in the purse or bag and only brought into contact with the body once
there is the need to do or obtain a call.
Users should try to support their conversations short.
If possible, SMS messages can be sent instead of calls so that there is less contact with the body especially about the bone area.
Keep switch between several ears so that one particular ear makes not absorb the full force of the radiation all the time.
Radiation emission is at the highest once
the phone is trying to connect so support the phone away from the bone till you see the call fully connected.
Weak signal results in higher radiation so avoid devising calls in areas wherever
reception is poor as the device wish try to boost its power to get you a connection and resultantly bombard you with more radiation.
We cannot do away with cellular devices looking at the convenience they have ushered consumers in. Nevertheless, we can adopt several helpful attitudes to minimize the harmful effects this technology is delivery to mankind.
