After many years of debate over the health hazards posed by mobile

phones, a recent report finally establishes it.

The exhaustive report has been submitted recently to the Department of

Telecom by Prof Girish Kumar of IIT-Bombay's department of electrical

engineering.

Kumar, who has done extensive research on cell phone radiation and its

effects warns against excessive use of cell phones as they put users, to

increased risk of cancer, brain tumour and many other health hazards. More so in

case of children.

The major health hazards of radiation from cell phones and cell towers

are as given below:

_A 400% increase in the risk of brain cancer among for teenagers using

cell phones. Children are more vulnerable to cell phone radiation. The younger

the child, the deeper is the penetration of electromagnetic radiation as

children's skulls are thinner.

_Excessive use of mobile phones can also cause cancer in anyone. Use of

cell phones for more than 30 minutes per day for 10 years increases the risk of

brain cancer and acoustic neuroma.

_Cell phone radiation causes irreversible damage to male fertility.

Studies have found 30% lower sperm count in intensive users of mobile phones.

_Cell phone frequencies can cause damage to the DNA of the body's

cells. Radiation causes 'free radical formation' inside the body's cells; the

free radicals are known to be carcinogenic.

_Cell phone frequencies interfere with the functioning of other

life-saving gadgets, including implanted pace-makers, and may, therefore, cause

sudden death.

_Mobile phone exposure can activate the stress response in human and

animal cells which causes production of stress proteins. This is proof enough

that the body recognises radiations from cell phones as potentially harmful.

_Electromagnetic fields caused by cell phone and cell tower radiation

degrade the immune system and stimulate allergic\inflammatory responses,

including rashes, sores, biting sensations and lesions.

_People using cell phones for more than 30 minutes a day for more than

four years are at a higher risk of hearing loss. Cell phone radiation can cause

tinnitus and damage the auditory hair cells present in the inner ear. Once

damaged, these cells can never regenerate.

_Frequent use of mobile phones can also damage the visual system in

many ways. Cell phone frequencies (900, 1800 MHz and 2450 MHz) damage epithelial

cells and increase the temperature within the eye.

_Cell phone emissions weaken bones and can cause reduction in melatonin

(a type of antioxidant which is immune system enhancer) levels.

_An increased risk of salivary gland cancer is linked to the use of

mobile phones.

_Exposure to electromagnetic fields can cause sleep disorders and

neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

_Due to consistent electromagnetic background noise, bees and birds

become disoriented and cannot return to their hives and nests. It has adverse

effects on animals, plants and the environment.
