Is it possible to talk on the phone for a long time. Bad habits that are little talked about are long conversations on a mobile phone. - Mobile phone safe on standby

Long-term use mobile phone can heat a person's brain up to one degree, reported the Brussels-based magazine The Bulletin.

With reference to the opinion of European scientists, the publication notes that wireless technologies transmission Wi-Fi data can have a negative effect on the cerebral cortex, and the lack of legislation in this area does not prevent the dire consequences of exposure to mobile phones on the human body.

“During the long telephone conversations on a mobile phone, the human brain can heat up to one degree, ”the article states.

The fact that constant exposure to radio frequency signals can negatively affect human health, scientists have said many times. As the author of the article notes, many phone owners complain about various side effects from cellular communication: frequent headaches, loss of memory and concentration, tension in the eardrums and sudden bouts of fatigue.

Moreover, according to studies carried out by European scientists, 3% of people suffer from the so-called "hypersensitivity", that is, the body of these people is extremely sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

Among the possible diseases in connection with the use of mobile phones, scientists call childhood leukemia, ocular cataracts, brain tumors, cardiovascular diseases, disruption of the nervous system, which can lead to DNA damage.

In turn, Flemish scientists, concerned about the increasing use of mobile phones among adolescents, have proposed a ban on cellular communications for those under 16 years of age.

"The receptivity of the adolescent brain is still at a developmental stage, and often the use of mobile phones can lead to negative effects," the researchers say.

Now in the world more than two billion people use cell phones, of which more than 500 million use GSM phones. At the same time, scientists note that analog phones are much more harmful to human health than digital ones.

“Analog telephones are based on continuous signal transmission, while digital phones transmit information using short pulses, ”the scientists emphasize.

For its part, the World Health Organization recommends caution when using wireless systems.

In turn, the research director of the International GSM Association (a trade organization that includes more than 700 mobile operators) Jack Rowley believes that the fears of scientists are too exaggerated.

“Single studies say little. Claims that mobile phone technology is harmful are unfounded, ”Rowley said, adding that five studies found no evidence of the effects of Wi-Fi on cancer.

However, in Belgium, people suffering from "hypersensitivity" are going to sue the country's health minister Rudy Demott, accusing him of violating the Belgian constitution, according to which "every citizen should have the right to a healthy environment."

We already know about rarely mentioned bad habits that they include promiscuity in sexual relations (promiscuity), violation of the daily routine and improper, including fast food. I decided to devote this article to another no less harmful and, thanks to technological progress, a common habit modern society- long conversations on a mobile phone.

For the first time I got a mobile phone in the tenth grade (2002) - my dad gave me nokia 3310. I remember so much joy, then it was considered a curiosity, but now almost every person has one, or even several. Today we can no longer imagine life without this miracle of communication with other people. Have you noticed that, God forbid, you will forget it at home - it feels like something is missing?

Using your phone as a means of communication for making appointments or important messages is one thing. It is completely different when it is used by those who like to chat, and often about nothing. Just to fill the void of your newly created free time. Most often, this is characteristic of women who are not averse to discussing all pressing problems and telling almost everything that happened to them during the day to their bosom girlfriends.

In my article that I wrote that a woman, finding herself in a stressful situation, immediately calls her friends and can talk for hours about her problems. This, of course, saves. Scientists have proven that in 70% of cases, stories about a stressful situation can bring a person out of post-stress depression. However, fleeing from one, we acquire another - problems that may not immediately appear. Scientists have proven that our nervous system is most sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields. They suggest that a weakened person who is mentally ill or under stress has an increased susceptibility to radiation. Thus, it turns out that a “telephone” friend is not a way out of a stressful situation.

Personally, I noticed on my own that after talking a lot on the phone (and I have friends who are not averse to talking on a cell phone to their fullest), I became irritable, felt tired and slept badly. It turns out there are good reasons for my feelings.

A year-long study of 11,000 volunteers by the Swedish National Labor Institute and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority found that 84% of mobile phone users feel heating behind their ears when speaking, with some claiming burns. Some users also have failures memory, dizziness, headache and fatigue... Almost a quarter of the respondents have memory problems, half suffer from headaches, and about 65% experience drowsiness. A third of subscribers concentration of attention has worsened during or immediately after a conversation, this was especially noticeable among people under the age of 30 who heavily use the phone. Subscribers using cell phones four or more times a day were 3.6 times more likely to complain of headaches than those who made fewer than two calls.

Another study showed that radiation from mobile phones makes it difficult to fall asleep and changes the structure of sleep. Swedish scientists conducted an experiment on 70 volunteers aged 18 to 45 years. Half of the participants were exposed to radiation similar to that emitted by mobile phones, the other half were not. It turned out that under the influence of radiation, the stage of deep sleep began more slowly and lasted less than in the control group, whose participants slept normally. According to the head of the work, scientist Bengt Arnetz, radiation from a mobile phone activates the stress system of the brain, making it difficult to relax and fall asleep. Additional stimulation of mental functions when talking on the phone before bedtime may also be of some importance.

Another interesting fact- elbows suffer from long conversations on the mobile. The so-called cubital tunnel syndrome (pinched ulnar nerve). The fact is that during telephone communication, the elbows are in an unnatural bent state, often at an angle of more than 90 degrees. Doctors do not recommend maintaining this position of the elbows for more than 10 minutes, but those who like to chat naturally do not observe this, which leads to pinching of the ulnar nerve. The syndrome causes chronic or recurrent elbow pain, tingling in the fingers, and sometimes impairs control of hand movement. In exceptional cases, cubital tunnel syndrome leads to surgery, but in the early stages, the disease can be prevented simply by changing the habit, such as using a wireless hands free system.

Long-term cell phone calls can lead to infertility. This conclusion was made by Italian scientists as a result of studying the effect of low-frequency radiation on the ovarian tissue of mice. The eggs matured normally in only one of the three irradiated ovarian tissue samples. Although the frequency of electromagnetic waves in the experiments was the same as that of refrigerators and televisions, the radiation power was much higher. Of course, scientists do not know if this effect will be found in humans, but the problem needs to be solved. At the same time, research on humans has not yet been conducted for ethical reasons.

But, for example, scientists from the University of Newcastle in the UK have established a relationship between the frequency of cell phone use and male infertility. In their opinion, if you talk a lot on the phone, then the chances of conceiving a child decrease. This is not about erectile dysfunction - a mobile phone negatively affects sperm quality. These findings were made after a survey of 364 men between September 2004 and October 2005. According to the researchers, if the stronger sex speaks on a mobile phone for more than four hours a day, the risk of infertility increases significantly.

Now let's talk about the most dangerous consequences of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones - the occurrence brain tumors. According to Swedish scientists, one hour of cell phone calls a day doubles the risk of developing a malignant tumor in the hemisphere from which the person is holding the phone. Swedish doctors have examined people who have been actively using communications for more than ten years. Prof Lennart Hardel and Kjel Hanson analyzed the results of 11 similar studies around the world. Nearly all of them have identified an increased risk of glial cell cancers, which support and protect neurons. The risk of developing a benign tumor (neuroma) of the auditory nerve, which often leads to deafness, was 2.5 times higher.

Now we are witnessing a tendency for the growth of telephone users among children. It is very convenient for parents - you can always call and find out where and with whom their child is. Only now, making their own life easier, they do not think about the health of their children.

Pay attention to the picture on the right (the original opens in a new tab). According to the Mobile Phone & Health Group from the UK, the area of ​​the brain exposed to mobile phone radiation is much larger in children under the age of 8 than in adults. And children and adolescents are most vulnerable to many types of brain tumors, as their bodies are in the developmental stage. According to scientific reports, radiation from the device can lead not only to brain tumors, but also testicular cancer and leukemia.

Doctors advise to buy mobile phones for children no earlier than 8 years of age, limit the time of using them, allowing them to call only in case of emergency, equip phones with a hands-free system, teach the child to use text messages and keep the phone at least one meter from the brain ... In general, in my opinion, a mobile phone for children is not a toy. Often, their desire to show off in front of classmates leads to a violation of the norms of behavior, a deterioration in academic performance and negatively affects their emotional and psychological development.

The emergence of brain tumors is not the whole list of dangers that a chatting enthusiast may face. Frequent cell phone conversations are conducive to development cancer of the salivary glands. This is evidenced by a study by Israeli scientists from the University of Tel Aviv, who compared the frequency of cell phone use among 500 Israelis suffering from benign or malignant tumors of the parotid gland (the largest of the salivary glands), and about 1,300 randomly selected healthy people. It turned out that people who talked on a cell phone every day for several hours, the risk of developing a tumor of the salivary glands (on the corresponding side of the head) increased by 1.5 times. Moreover, most often, neoplasms occurred in rural residents. The study leader linked this relationship to low level signal from stationary antennas, due to which the emitters of mobile phones are "forced" to work at increased power.

To be honest, when I was writing an article and studying information about the dangers of talking on a mobile phone, I myself became scared. But what if you still need to use a mobile phone from time to time? Yes, of course we can upgrade to the home phones that we have. By the way, do you remember this? We have at home home phone and things can be solved not only by cell phone.

But, unfortunately, and again thanks to technological progress, now almost every home has a radiotelephone. Its frequency and power, of course, are an order of magnitude lower than that of mobile phones. However, you shouldn't be happy about it. There are already publications that point to possible brain pathology when using cordless home phones. For example, Swedish scientist Lennart Hardell conducted epidemiological studies to find out the causes of brain tumors and came to the conclusion that when using a radiotelephone for a long time, there is a risk of developing brain tumors. His fears are confirmed by the American professor Delbert Parkinson. He believes that when exposed to certain sources of electromagnetic fields, including cordless phones may develop autism syndrome, a disorder arising from a developmental disorder of the brain and characterized by a pronounced and all-round deficit in social interaction and communication, as well as limited interests and repetitive activities.

Those who still have a wired analog telephone at home, for example, grandmother's old disk apparatus, can breathe calmly. And don't let you keep up with technical progress, but you can protect your body from harmful electromagnetic radiation. Yes, this is certainly inconvenient for those people who are used to doing several things at the same time. But, firstly, your health is on the scales, and secondly, finally show respect for your interlocutor, who at the other end of the line hopes that you are listening to him carefully and you are interested in his vital problems.

I don’t know about you, but after all of the above, I personally had a desire to get rid of this addiction - chatting on my cell phone in vain.

As a rule, we all often and for a long time talk with those who are dear to us and love, who understand us and always give good advice - this is a mother, sister or brother, best friends, beloved boyfriend or girlfriend. But you must agree that live communication with a friend, when you see his eyes, feel his energy, feel his participation in your vital issues - conversations on a mobile cannot replace. I made a conclusion for myself - Anyut, Misha, come to visit me, I missed you so much! :))).

Of course, using a mobile phone is sometimes necessary. But at the same time it follows:

  1. Limit the duration of a single call - up to 3 minutes.
  2. Increase the period between two calls as much as possible (the minimum recommended is 15 minutes).
  3. Use speakerphone as often as possible.
  4. Purchase only branded mobile phones, giving preference to models with the lowest SAR (Specific Absorption Rates). It is the SAR, which shows the maximum specific power absorbed by the human body in one second when using a mobile phone. SAR is measured in W / kg. In Europe permissible value radiation is 2 W / kg. This indicator can be found in the instructions for the phone.
  5. At the moment of establishing a connection, the mobile phone operates at a higher power than during a call. Therefore, when making an outgoing call, bring the receiver to your ear not immediately, but a few seconds after dialing the number and connecting, which can be observed on the phone screen.

14 responses to "Bad habits that are little talked about - long conversations on a mobile phone"

    The article is good. A lot of interesting. I think that a mobile phone is often, even in the overwhelming majority of cases, a stupid show-off. Whenever possible, I try to leave it at home. I do not like to be disturbed by thoughtless conversations that only take up time. =) And a mobile phone is exactly the bridge that connects you with forced communication, sometimes not at all necessary.

    If you feel like chatting, it's better to meet. And if at the same time you don't want to go anywhere, then you should think about whether you are living the right way, and maybe you need to find something to do so as not to waste the time given to you for life?

    very interesting article.

    on my own I can add that electromagnetic radiation from a mobile phone is equivalent to radiation from a microwave oven. so in both "benefits of civilization" the same type of microwave technology is used. precisely for this, after a long conversation on a mobile phone, the ear, or pocket (when using wireless communication) gets very hot.

    as a couple of my teachers said, "when you talk on your cell phone, you stick your head in the microwave."

    so 6 point I would advise to carry phones in bags or purses and use a headset. better wired because wireless headset is also a very powerful transmitter / receiver.

    Very useful article... Fortunately, I don't talk often by phone, although I have two of them. I prefer live communication. The data that the radio waves emitted by a mobile phone are harmful to humans was confirmed by biologist Bill Bruno.

    In such situations, breathing is harmful to life ...)))

    There is little useful around us at all, only killing ...

    Above they talk about the head in the microwave ... in our world, the whole body is constantly in the microwave ... especially in big cities ...

    And the phone? !!! You have to pay for the pleasure ...

    Thanks for the article! Interesting! But I take the "phone negative" calmly!

    Its benefits are no less ...

    • Nobody argues about the benefits of a mobile phone. Of course, this miracle of communication helps us in modern world correctly allocate your time, make appointments, warn of delays, etc.

      It so happens that a mobile phone is the only device with which it is possible to hear the voice of a friend who lives far away, and you do not have the opportunity to see him often. And only for this can technical progress be respected.

      I am not agitating everyone to give up mobile phones. In the article, I only wrote that it is used not only for important, easily resolved issues over the phone, but for long conversations about anything. And this is harmful!

      I use it and I'm calm about my brain! I know where to get it!

      Katerina Sergeevna, you are as good as ever.

      Mobile phone, Internet, these are well-known social media, flooded our world and all our consciousness. And where are we without a phone, in order, for example, to tell a "super" news to a friend, or how is it not to "sit" in Odnoklassniki "to kill" time at work, and continue to kill it at home, instead of doing something useful. And even 10-15 years ago, remember how great we did without all this, we found time to meet with friends, acquaintances, and loved ones, organized meetings with classmates in real life, AND HAVE ENJOYED THE COMMUNICATION, FIND THE SAME FRIEND ANOTHER, and do not overload your brain with unnecessary information.

      People communicate, meet, enjoy life without a phone and the Internet (which rings at the most inopportune moment, you must agree).

      • Thank you Pavel for noticing this error. Indeed, power is measured not in megahertz, but in watts. In the article, I meant frequency.

        In any case, the power and frequency of radiotelephones is less than that of cellular phones. Therefore, at home, you should mainly use radio telephones, and it is better to install analog devices in general.

Maria Selivanova, economic commentator for RIA Novosti.

"Using a mobile phone is harmful to your health" - such an inscription, it seems, can already be placed on each handset. For the first time, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially announced the possible connection between the use of a mobile phone and the development of brain cancer in humans. Many Russian doctors confirm the findings of the WHO. To minimize harm to active users of mobile phones, they recommend not to bring the phone to your head, but to use headphones, the so-called hands-free.

Although group 2B, which is assigned to electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, only means "possibly carcinogenic", this finding may push the WHO to change the rules for the use of mobile phones.

Non-medical experts point to the lack of specific data on the incidence of cell phones, the constant progress in reducing cell phone radiation, and the fact that the convenience of using cellular communications overrides any fear in people.

Risk is confirmed by statistics

Three dozen scientists from 14 countries said at a meeting of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at WHO that a review of all available scientific evidence makes it possible to classify the use mobile devices as "potentially carcinogenic".

"Having reviewed practically all the relevant evidence, working group scientists have classified high-frequency electromagnetic fields as potentially carcinogenic to humans, "Reuters quoted Jonathan Samet, head of a group of IARC scientists working on this issue, as quoted by Reuters.

According to the expert, there is evidence that "mobile" radiation may increase the risk of developing glioma, a type of brain tumor.

Research on the relationship between the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones and the possible occurrence of cancer has been going on since the advent of mobile phones. In the process of research, scientists analyze the life circumstances of people with cancer of a certain type, including their habits of using a mobile phone, the head of the laboratory of radiobiology and hygiene of non-ionizing radiation of the FMBC them. A.I. Burnazyan of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) of Russia Oleg Grigoriev.

Over the past 15 years, at least two dozen different studies have been carried out. Conclusions, as a rule, contradicted each other.

For example, in 2007, scientists from the Radiation Safety Center of Finland concluded that the likelihood of brain cancer increases after 10 years of talking on a cell phone. And in 2010, scientists from the Interphone research group, working on the basis of the International Agency for Research on Cancer WHO, came to the opposite conclusion. For 10 years, the group monitored 13,000 cell phone users from 13 countries and found no consistent link between cell phone use and an increased risk of brain tumors.

The latest WHO data that a mobile phone can still provoke cancer coincide with the opinion of many Russian scientists.
Too active use of a mobile phone increases the risk of developing brain cancer, says the director of the Research Institute of Carcinogenesis of the Russian Cancer Center scientific center named after Blokhin RAMS, professor David Zaridze.

European experts found that as a result of 10 years of intensive use of a mobile phone, the risk of glioma increases by 40%, David Zaridze explained to RIA Novosti. It is considered intensive to use a mobile phone for more than half an hour a day.

True, David Zaridze stressed that group 2B, which is assigned to electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, means only "a possibly carcinogenic effect." If carcinogenicity is proven, then group A1 is assigned. Group 2A would mean "most likely carcinogenic". Well, group 2B is the most innocent of them.

Nevertheless, the statistical analysis allowed the WHO to draw a conclusion about the dangers of mobile phones. "The problem is that there are statistical data on tumors, but the mechanism of tumor formation is not clear," says Oleg Grigoriev. Therefore, research on the effect of a mobile phone on human health continues.

Don't turn your head into an antenna

The use of headphones will help to reduce the harm from using a mobile phone, says Oleg Grigoriev. According to him, when talking, you need to remove the phone from your head at a distance of at least half a meter. “When the phone is attached to the head, the head, together with the antenna of the phone, forms a single electrodynamic system that serves as the antenna,” he says. This is harmful to health.

Experiments at FMBA have proved that within 30 seconds after the phone is turned on (which the subject does not know about), the body begins to respond to this by changing its bioelectric activity. For the average healthy person, such a single exposure is absolutely safe, says Grigoriev. But over time, people who often talk on a mobile phone begin to complain of fatigue, poor sleep and memory, which indicates the degradation of the central nervous system, said a spokesman for the FMBA.

"There is such a concept as the energy load of the electromagnetic field - this is the value to which the sanitary standard is tied. If a person uses a mobile phone for one hour during the day, then according to the criterion of energy load, he falls into the category of professionals associated with servicing sources of an electromagnetic field (these are radio installers , radio technicians, workers serving power grids), - says Grigoriev. - They are recommended to undergo a medical examination annually. " If a person uses the phone for more than three hours a day, then he even exceeds the "professional" dose.

Children in special danger

If the connection between the use of a mobile phone and the occurrence of cancer is still controversial, then the harm caused by the radiation of cell phones to the health of children is already obvious for Russian scientists.

"In children using mobile phones, radiation affects a larger volume and large quantity structures of the brain, since the brain of a child is smaller than that of an adult, and the permeability of the brain tissue of a child is greater than that of an adult, "says Oleg Grigoriev. In addition, the experience of using a cell phone in children will be longer than that of adults, as they begin to use them earlier.The current sanitary standards in Russia do not recommend using cell phones children under 18 years old.

The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection proposes to mark each telephone as a source of an electromagnetic field. "After all, it is difficult for a child and parents to explain that a telephone has an electromagnetic field: people do not feel or see it," says Grigoriev.

In 2008, the committee drew up a forecast of the immediate and long-term consequences for children of the electric field of a cell phone. "One should expect possible upcoming disorders: weakening of memory, decreased attention and mental abilities, irritability, sleep disturbances, increased epileptic readiness," Oleg Grigoriev quotes the forecast of scientists. At that time, scientists attributed tumors of the brain, as well as of the auditory and vestibular nerves, to the number of long-term consequences.

In 2011, FMBA purposefully analyzed the impact of cell phones on children.

"According to Rosstat, the incidence of diagnoses, which we named as possible, has a steady increase," says Grigoriev. "This increase is especially noticeable among young people aged 15-19, who have been actively using mobile phones for several years." In particular, the number of epilepsy cases increased by 36%, the number of diseases of the central nervous system in adolescents aged 15-17 increased by 85%, the number of blood diseases and disorders of the immune status increased by 82%.

Scientists associate the increase in the incidence of mobile communications, insists Grigoriev.

Experts refer to the consequences of the "second echelon" as a decrease in cognitive abilities, that is, the ability to learn and assimilate knowledge. “These violations lead to the fact that children do not grow up the way they should have grown, - explained Grigoriev. - They do not receive the full amount of knowledge, which in the long term leads to a loss of money due to increased spending on treatment, as well as to the impossibility getting a good profession ".

Comfort is stronger than fear

However, experts who are not related to medicine are in no hurry to associate the use of cell phones with cancer diagnosis.

"There is no exact data today. WHO only suggested that the use of a mobile phone can provoke cancer, but did not cite any specific data from clinical trials on brain cancer," Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, told RIA Novosti.

There is simply no more accurate data on the impact of mobile phones on health. The fact is that clinical trials have been going on for about ten years, the expert says. During this time, technologies change, one type of communication replaces another. For example, now GSM communication is different from what it was a few years ago, explained Murtazin. Radiation from mobile phones is getting lower.

"Mobile users assume that communication on a cell phone is not safe, but convenience overrides this fear," concludes Eldar Murtazin.

Is there a relationship between the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that emanates from a cell phone and the morbidity of subscribers? Experts do not deny the possibility of harm from such radiation. According to the head of the laboratory of electromagnetic fields and physical factors of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance Altai Territory Anatoly Yatskevich, the level of electromagnetic radiation of a telephone directly depends on its model. The degree of influence of a mobile phone on a person is determined by the density of the energy flow, as well as the frequency and power of the phone. These indicators should be as low as possible. The whole world uses such phones, but, for example, in Switzerland, pregnant women and children under 16 are prohibited from using them. I ask A. Yatskevich: - Is it true that talking on a cell phone too often can cause cancer?- The occurrence of cancerous tumors specifically from the use of cell phones has not yet been proven. But with prolonged use of the phone - 20-30 minutes - the fabric begins to warm up, the body temperature rises. And this, in turn, causes irritation of the nervous system. The higher the frequency of the telephone's radiation, the more destructive it is for nerve cells. Therefore, I recommend that those who like to communicate on a "cell phone" constantly shift the receiver from one ear to the other. - Where is it safer to carry a cell phone?- You can carry the tube anywhere: around your neck, on your belt or in your purse. When the phone is in standby mode, the handset does not emit electromagnetic energy. It is practically turned off and, therefore, is completely safe for health. - There are two opposite opinions: someone claims that modern cell phones in the form of a miniature earpiece with a microphone get rid of "telephone exposure." Other researchers say that this fashionable device, on the contrary, increases the electromagnetic radiation entering the subscriber's brain by three times. - Headphones do not save and at the same time do not multiply electromagnetic radiation. I can say one thing - while talking, you are within the range of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation increases when two or more cell phones are operating in the same room in a call mode - electromagnetic energy is overlaid and brings double harm to both owners of the devices. - Today, mobile operators are installing new base stations. Will they not "irradiate" the population? - In Japan, base stations stand like telegraph poles on the streets with a range of five kilometers. Moreover, the Japanese are considered centenarians. From one station a signal is transmitted to another, this is how a call comes to the phone. If the handset has a talk power of about 0.2 watts, then the base station has 800 microwatts. Thus, being in the area of ​​the base station is more harmless than the process of communicating on a mobile phone.

Trust but do not abuse!

For all that public organization Scientists "Russian National Committee for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection" (RNKZNI) recommends not to use cell phones for children, pregnant women, epileptics, people suffering from neurological diseases, including neurasthenia, psychopathy, neuroses. And also try not to talk for more than three minutes and be sure to take breaks between conversations for at least a quarter of an hour. This way you can minimize the harm to your mobile phone. Scientists from RNKZNI are supported by the Committee on Ecology of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Today in the US, cellular service providers have been informing their customers for a long time about the level of electromagnetic radiation from their phones. In Russia, so far, such transparency is only being sought. The question of the harm of a mobile phone remains open. Our experts recommend: when choosing a cell phone model and communication standard, you should pay attention to its characteristics. The digital standard requires more base stations per unit area, so the phone power required for normal operation is lower than that of analog. As for the model, expensive and modern phones are less harmful than cheap and outdated ones.

Protection from mobile phones invented

A kind of "magic wands" appeared on the market - anti-emitters. These are small volumetric stickers on cell phones that cost from 200 rubles, supposedly they reduce the harm of a mobile phone. In addition, the market is replete with metal bags for mobile phones, metal pocket plates, magic bracelets and other devices that also doubtfully reduce the power of the phone's impact on the body. However, this is all not a certified product, so far there is no point in talking about its positive effect. They can even do harm by boosting the power of your mobile phone. “Anti-emitters are a myth,” says Anatoly Yatskevich. - You cannot block the electromagnetic energy of a cell phone with absorbers. Anti-emitters can be installed near a very high power antenna, but not glued to a mobile phone.

Way out

People will no longer give up cell phones, pagers, electronic notebooks, laptop computers, players, voice recorders and other mobile devices. And if so, one thing remains: the choice of each device must be approached wisely.

We wake up with him and fall asleep, we also have lunch with him, he knows everything about us ... He spends most of the time with us ... Who is HE? This is a mobile phone.
This question arises quite often, sometimes taking funny forms about the dangers of not only talking on a mobile phone, but even about the dangers of finding one in your pants pocket. Israeli scientists are studying the impact of mobile phones on the human body. And this is what they found: even a 10-minute action of the waves emitted by a mobile device puts you at risk for cancer ... When a person speaks on the phone, that is, when the radio transmitter of a mobile phone turns on, then in this case it is impossible to answer so unequivocally - is it harmful or no. In order to obtain such an answer, over the past several years a very serious large-scale program has been carried out around the world to study the effect of cellular mobile phones on human health. More than 15 thousand doctors of different specialties from 12 countries of the world took part in it. They say it cost $ 4 billion. The greatest attention was directed to the study of the effect of electromagnetic energy emitted by a mobile phone operating in the GSM standard on those human organs that are located in the immediate proximity to the phone attached to the ear, i.e.: brain, thyroid gland, salivary glands, hearing aid and visual organs. Really, in the immediate proximity to the most important human organs when talking on a mobile phone, electromagnetic energy is emitted, the power of which is greatest in the near zone. Energy of the same nature is emitted that rotates electric motors and cooks chicken in the microwave. Naturally, this energy penetrates the head, affects the brain and other human organs. Therefore, one should expect some kind of response from them to this impact. Moreover, this reaction should be immediate, simultaneous with the impact, and can also be slowed down and appear later, maybe in hours, days and years. But what are these reactions and how dangerous or long-term are they? And what can they influence and how? Some scientists say that electromagnetic energy can speed up chemical processes and affect blood flow. Just as there is no less reliable data on the harmful, even deadly, effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans. And again, other wavelengths and substantially different quantities. By the way, in this story, for some reason, no one touched on the issue of other radiotelephones, although they are less widespread than cell phones, but nevertheless related to the category of a mass product - these are phones operating in the CDMA standard. The overwhelming majority of scientists believe that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) negatively affects human health and is the cause of a number of diseases, primarily oncological, as well as diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Accordingly, the issue of priority development of cellular radio communication systems, which, with other equal consumer properties, has a lower level of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of a subscriber and base station, is of particular relevance, and the creation of a communication network requires a smaller number of base stations. From this point of view, the most promising is a mobile radio communication system based on the CDMA standard. The maximum EMR power of a portable radiotelephone of the CDMA standard does not exceed 0.01 W, which is an order of magnitude less than that of a similar device operating on GSM. The low radiation power of CDMA phones (0.01 - 0.25 watts), in comparison with the power of excluding GSM phones, has less impact on human health, which makes it possible to call CDMA phones "green phones". Base stations CDMA networks have the largest coverage area and the highest network capacity.
Say what, but we will not use less anyway, because it is already impossible to imagine our life without cellular communication, because it makes our life easier, but you can reduce the risk to a minimum? After all, there is an alternative! The so-called "green link", communication of the CDMA standard.
Therefore, we can say with great confidence and responsibility: "We, immersed in the ocean of electromagnetic radiation, need to think about our health. Should we choose GSM or CDMA?"
