No matter how indispensable a mobile phone has become, it is important you know a thing or two about cell phone radiation and the risks that come along with it. As I am sure you know or you have figured out by now, cell phone will emit some signals with the help of radio waves and these signal are made or radio-frequency energy. There is a lot of controversy to whether cell phone radiation is in large enough quantities as to cause health problems.

Each time that you talk into the cell phone, there is a transmitter that takes the sound of your voice and it encodes it into a series of continuous sine waves which are then radiated out from your cell phone’s antenna and fluctuating constantly and evenly through space. These waves are measures with the help of frequency. The encoded signal is sent with the help of radio waves and they are composed of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation is also composed of waves of magnetic and electric energy which moves at the speed of light. Every time a person talks on their cell phone, they place the phone near the head. This means that part of radiation emitted are absorbed by our tissue.

Scientists truly believe that a cell phone can damage your health and this is why several tests are still being performed to sustain this argument. There are 2 different types of electromagnetic radiation. First there is the ionizing radiation which contains a sufficient amount of electromagnetic energy that manages to alter some of the chemical reactions of the body. Since X-rays and Gamma rays are 2 forms of such radiation, you can understand how they can cause damage. The non-ionizing radiation is considered safer even if it still causes some heating effect.

Even if they have yet managed to confirm a hypothesis, there are still a lot of rumors and contradictions as far as the cell phone radiations and their effects are concerned. The human tissue will get damaged if it is exposed to high level of radiation and there no tests are required for us to know that this is a fact! Some of the illnesses and diseases that are associated with cell phone radiations are brain tumors, headaches, cancer, Alzheimer and Parkinson.
