all know the controversy exists around mobile because of the alleged statements, based on studies, some scientists and doctors who say there is a relationship between mobile phone use and certain diseases such as cancer. What is known is that mobile phones are receivers, while issuers, a number of radio waves similar to the microwave.
When electromagnetic waves are powerful enough themselves that can affect a person altering their DNA so as to produce heritable mutations or more commonly, cancer ( is the case of those affected by the escape of radiation from the central Chernobyl, and the reason that radiologists are protected behind glass leaded windows, and X-rays themselves are ionizing and prolonged exposure can cause cancer ).
However, mobile phone waves are not strong enough to break molecules, ie can not cause damage to DNA. According to World Health Organization no scientifically proven data that give us the certainty that mobile technology causes cancer.
other hand there are studies such as Dr. Ferris, who claim that " mobile phone abuse increases the risk of cancer in the auditory nerve and the appearance of a melanoma on the back of the eye ".
Another study, which was released last June, carried out by 20 scientists from around the world warning of the danger of using cell mobile, especially in children under 12 years also advised to use hands-free, more specifically during the time of the call, to keep the device more than a meter of the body.
More studies that contradict the WHO , like José Luis Bardasano, professor of medicine and president of the Bioelectromagnetics Foundation and Health Sciences. In an interview Cantabrian newspaper "Diagonal", when asked about the effects on the pineal gland, the doctor replied:
"Housed in the center of the brain, the function of secreting melatonin. It does so only at night when no light. Melatonin is a potent anticancer. Combats free radicals that cause premature aging, facilitate the development of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The mobile waves act as a kind of invisible light which reduces segregation. That there are people becoming more young man with senile dementia and Alzheimer's may be related to the alteration of the hippocampus and the lack of melatonin. well Hypotheses grounds for believing that the risk of breast cancer increases in people predisposed to develop it. There have been cases of precocious puberty in girls, and can worsen depression and jet lag. There are supplements of melatonin from plant sources available on the market. "
Another disputes revolve around mobile phones is associated with how they affect fertility, especially for men. Today, most jobs are dependent mobile phone usage, as many of the negotiations are carried out from it, predominantly in those jobs that need to travel. Because of this need to travel, has increased the use of hands-free ( hands-free). When used, it is usual to carry the phone in your pocket or on the belt in any other case, ie near the testicles, this leads to that during the course of a call, the radio frequency electromagnetic waves to reach the reproductive system, reducing the quality of the sperm less mobile and less life.
The new mobile phone from Apple, the famous revolutionary iPhone, is not immune to this controversy.
Studies carried out by
Greenpeace scientists have found the association, despite the undertaking by the director of the company to get an iPhone Greening, who continue to use harmful substances in their manufacture. In fact, the antenna located under the back cover, housed inside a large amount of bromide. When we talk about problems, not only referred to as adverse impact on the health of a person, we also refer to cultural and social fields.
mobile phone users, mostly teenagers in learning period, often prefer to send a text message to make a call, both in cost and for the convenience. This convenience is what leads them to reduce the text by modifying the words and after sending a massive amount of messages that cross "Dialectical language" in formal writing, so they do not know when to use formal or colloquial register. There is even talk of developing the SAR by a new dictionary of abbreviations for SMS.
This habit of short messages, has its origin in the cost, because when you type a message properly (accents, umlauts, semicolons, questions, etc.) Characters increase and reach to triple the cost of SMS, thus encouraging users to abbreviate words to save space and save money on mobile phone bill. A normal message is equivalent to 160 characters in the alphabet GSM 3.38, however, there are letters with accents or some symbols (¿Ç, Ñ, etc.) Are not included in this alphabet may reach triple the price of the message and that the use of these symbols, the device is increased by the Unicode system without prompting the user. There are a number of mobile phones (especially the last generation) that allow the use of this set of symbols without having to pass the Unicode system, the mobile phone companies taking advantage of the lack of it by the user to benefit when paid the bill.
We can not conclude this article without referring to involved the misuse of mobile phones can become an addiction, as evidenced recent studies. This addiction creates a dependency on users of the telephone, so that when you lack it may develop symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, or palpitations.
A study by the University of Staffordshire conducted by Dr. David Sheffield on mobile phone addiction " blood pressure found that those who had stopped using phones was still lower than those using them." Another relevant study on mobile phone addiction is carried out by the FACUA (Federation of Consumers in Action), which states that "the use of mobile phones can cause addiction to emotional and physical effects similar to those of cigarettes and other substances: aggression, irritability, isolation, abandonment of the social environment." Another study conducted by the British Medical Journal, said that "Mobile phone use can create the same compulsive behaviors as any other addiction. There are one or two who say that the mobile hooks: one in a thousand users may be addicted. "
Personally, this study has discovered facets of mobile not know, because we have not been given relevant information as companies show only what interests them given that their purpose is to make as much money as possible at the expense of their customers. The most surprising thing about this article, our eyes, is that the use of certain characters when writing text messages occupy more than one space, but could increase the cost of the message three times and that there is a way to avoid changing phone features (as you sell companies set to occupy more space.)
