Mobile Phones Cause Health Risks

March 5th, 2010



Whether you are walking on the road or in a store or in a parking lot, you’ll see at least one person talking on a mobile phone. Even in places where mobile phones are banned, such as theaters, concert halls, hospitals, you’ll find an occasional offender or at least a few people messaging on their phone. There is a lot of concern on whether or not mobile phone usage can harm a person’s health.

It is believed that one of the reasons for brain cancer is excessive usage of mobile phones. People are actually wondering if that could be the reason for an increase in the number of people succumbing to this fateful disease. Reports have confirmed that people are developing brain tomours at the same spot where they hold their phone. In the long run overuse of mobile phones can also cause cancer. Other studies reported that there is a greater risk of cancer but only with analog phone users.
The radiations emitted by mobile phones can also adversely affect the health of a user. It is being suggested that the usage of hands free can lessen the problem of the head being exposed to the radiation. But opinions vary as some say it cannot decrease the amount of radiation exposure at all.

Another fear of carrying mobile phones is the risk it generates while driving. It has been proven that a driver on a mobile phone is far less attentive and is more prone to accidents than a driver without a cell phone. Even a hands free is no big defence as hands free can only free up the hands for driving but not the driver’s mind. Even people who are walking and talking at the same time on the road can put themselves in danger because they cannot concentrate on two things at the same time. The only solution to this is to go in a safe area before engaging in a mobile phone conversation.

One of the primary health concerns with mobile phone usage is the impact of radiation.

Researchers and doctors are continually looking to detect whether mobile phones can be a risk to your heath or not. The degree of health risks involved in mobile phone usage is yet to be determined. So far there is no proof that mobile phones are a health risk, or that they are a hundred percent safe.

Mobile Phones – Sun, Sangria, and SMS Sorrows

February 22nd, 2010



Picture it; you’re relaxing on a beach in the Costa del Sol, you’re sipping your sangria and listening to the strains of OBK’s Tú sigue así emanating from the nearest bar when suddenly, a tell-tale beeping makes your heart sink.

No, it’s not a large truck reversing towards you and forcing you into shade; it’s your mobile phone receiving a text message from your well-meaning friends back home, stating that they wish they were with you and bemoaning the fact that you’ll make them look like ghosts when you get back. You groan and think, “It just cost me £1.50 to find out something they told me before I left”.

So maybe ‘roaming’ text messages aren’t quite that expensive but the fact remains that sending and receiving a text message from one EU country to another is more expensive than simply texting your friend in the next town. Currently it costs around 23p to send a text message and another 23p to receive one back – four times as much as it costs at home where you don’t have to pay if someone sends you a message.

New regulations called for by the EU Telecoms Commissioner recommend a price cap of between 8p and 11p on all roaming text messages sent within the EU. If these come into play, it will halve the cost of roaming texts within the EU. While you’ll still be charged for both sending and receiving the message, the actual charge applied will be half, making it just double rather than quadruple the price of sending a text at home.

There are already voice call price caps in place as of 2007, currently set at 38p per minute for making the call and 19p per minute for receiving one. These rates are set to fall by around 5p in the next year, making it cheaper to keep in touch with your envious friends while on holiday. There are also plans to reduce the cost of data roaming – sending emails and MMS messages, and surfing the web via mobile phone or laptop.
