    A scientific claim made about cell phones is whether or not radiofrequency energy exposure possibly causes cancer or other negative health risks or effects. 4 Cell phones emit an electromagnetic, non-ionizing form of radiation as radiofrequency energy from their antennas. This energy can be absorbed by nearby tissue such as your ear. Electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation is low energy and low frequency. Radiofrequency ranges of 30 kilohertz to 300 gighertz are used for televisions and radio in addition to cell phones. 4 Energy absorbed by the human body from radiofrequency devices is measured as specific absorption rate, SAR, shown as watts per kilogram of body weight. To date, non-ionizing radiation has not been found to increase risk of cancer. However, heating of body tissue due to radiofrequency exposure has been found although not enough to raise body temperature or cause any significant…

    The use of mobile phones has increased in recent times and with them the issue of the implications for human health. These concerns have led to a large volume of research studies. This time I intend to offer a review of the possible negative and positive biological effects of cell phone radiation on human tissues and that currently studies suggested that mobile radiation can double the risk of developing cancer. However, there is a great difference between the studies carried out in previous years and the current ones, reason why new researches have been proposed that determine the reality of the consequences of the use of this device. The conclusion it shows that long-term exposure to radiation (EMF) from a cell phone could cause health effects, such as brain cancer among others. It highlights some positive health effects due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation, stories such as improving healing and reducing the toxic effects of chemotherapy. Finally, it is necessary to consider that there is much more study and analysis in the long term.…
