Do you know? 6 out of 7 billion people in the whole world have access to cell phones, according to a study by the UN. also, about 79% of total people between the age of 18-44 years carry their smart phones with them for approximately 22 hours a day.

A number of people often wonder, "are cell phones harmful"? And if yes, is the radiation emitted from cell phones are really dangerous for our health?

Well, the answer is YES!

The EMF radiation emitted by the cell phone/ mobile devices causes adverse effects on the body including hazardous diseases such as:

Fertility problems
Cancer
sleep disorders
developmental problems etc

Today in this article, we are going to discuss the in and outs of the cell phone radiations and also would discuss the aspects in which it is actually harmful. So without wasting much time, let's get started:

Do Cell Phones Emit Radiation?

Is Non-Ionizing Cell Phone Radiation Harmful in real?

Let us discuss the points in details:

#1: Do Cell Phones Emit Radiation?

Smartphones are used for various purposes such as sending emails, chatting, calling, browsing the internet and so on. It is also used for taking pictures, videos, downloading a number of stuffs such as PDF movies, songs and an unlimited number of things to make our life interesting and easy.

Believe it or not but the cell phones or the smartphones emits high degree non-ionizing electromagnetic field radiation known as EMF. The EMF is made up of radio frequency (RF) and extremely low-frequency radiation (ELF). Earlier, people used to think that only high doses of radiation would actually cause serious harm to humans but according to the recent information, it has been confirmed that long term exposure to low levels of radiation over a long duration of time can also cause harmful effects on humans as well.

Radio frequency consists of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cell signal whereas Low-frequency radiation is Generated by the phone's hardware/ Electrical components.

The exposure degree of the radiation basically depends upon a number of factors. some of them are depicted below:

type of cell phone being used
The distance of the user from the cell phone’s antenna
The amount of time spent on the cell phone
Distance of the user from cell towers.

Also, Smartphone users tend to use the device extensively and also carry their phones with them all the time, this leads to the Reason why the smartphone is causing health issues to people.

#2: Is Non-Ionizing Cell Phone Radiation Harmful in real?

The part of the World Health Organization of the United Nations, that is, IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has organized epidemiological studies into the occurrence of cancer worldwide.

In the year 2011, the IARC classified mobile phone radiation into Group 2B. This 2B Group comes under the carcinogenic category which includes engine exhaust, lead and chloroform. The emitted EMF can also unstable the levels of hormones in our body and brain resulting in oxidative stress and DNA fragmentation in our cells.

Also, before handing cell phones to your kids remember the fact that Children have thinner skulls making them more prone to the harmful radiation of the EMF.
