Radiation Cell Phone: Trigger Brain Cancer

Besides the issue of E-coli epidemic in mainland Europe, the world is also shocked by an unpleasant news. Recently the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement that cell phone can result in brain cancer. Radiation emitted by mobile phones contain carcinogenic elements. As known, a carcinogen is a substance that can trigger cancer.

Indeed, various studies have said that cell phones have adverse effects for health. Research on the phone has actually done a few years ago. A study from Sweden (European Journal of Cancer Prevention), published in 2002, suggested that the use of analog cell phones can cause brain cancer. The longer the time of cell phone use, the greater the risk of brain cancer.

Still from the same country, the research conducted at a university in Sweden resulted in the discovery about the effect of mobile phone radiation on the function of enzymes and proteins. In this study, visible there is a degeneration in the protein albumin are tested on animals. It is also occur in Finland. A study resulting from this country showed the radiation emitted by mobile phones affects the protein in brain cells.

Devra Lee Davis, an epidemiologist and author of Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, said that the waves emitted by mobile phones penetrate to the brain protector lines, triggering a reduction in the cells of DNA, and increase opportunities for the creation of cancer.

Other researchers, Leif Salford, said that the micro wave is out of the phone can cause Alzheimer's disease. Meanwhile, another study of the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection) to prove that the phone is placed near the head for several minutes, can raise the temperature of the cells near the brain about 0.10 degrees Celsius.

Recognized or not, when we call or receive calls for several minutes, ears feel hot. This circumstances occurred when the phone is sticked to the ear. Not only the ear, but also the phone get a similar situation. However, if we use the tools of hands-free, hot in the ear is reduced. Sometimes radiation emitted by mobile phones also interfere with electronic equipment such as radio and television.

To minimize the possibility of brain cancer, there is need for preventive efforts. That effort could begin by changing habits in the use of the phone. Changing habits toward better bring positive effects for health. These efforts include:
1. Maximizing the distance from the radiation source. It means head avoiding the phone as much as possible.
2. Minimizing the time the conversation. If the conversation for a long time, use the loudspeaker or handsfree facility.
3. Utilize the facility SMS (Short Message Services)
4. If the SMS and the loudspeaker is less effective, arrange a time to meet with people who want to be invited to talk.
5. Installing anti-radiation equipment on a mobile phone to reduce radiation levels.
6. Avoiding the phone when the signal is weak due to radiation is stronger.
7. Keep children away from cell phones because the skull and scalp in children is thinner so that the radiation is easy to enter.
8. Drinking milk because milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid which can reduce complaints due to cell phone radiation.

In fact, cell phones can disturb health. Mobile phones have a strong wave. In addition to radiation, cell phone noise level can be a trigger ear damage. The impact noise is ear pain. Therefore, once again the right solution is to reduce the intensity of the use of mobile phones in the ear.
