Are cellular phones dangerous to our society?
Cellular phones, also commonly known as mobile phones
offer a variety of merits to the society. However, there are certain challenges
associated with these devices that pose a danger to individuals and the
society. Radio frequency energy is emitted by cellphones and is absorbed by the
tissues close to the phone (Kovach). Therefore, there has been an alarming
increase to the causes of cancer associated with the use of cellular phones.
Depending on the technology of the device, the radiofrequency emission levels
vary. The variance in the levels of emission is also affected by the distance
between the antennae of the phone and the user (Benson et al.). Other factors
affecting the emission include the type of use and the distance of the user
from the cell phone tower. Despite the alarming association of cell phones as a
causative agent of cancer, studies indicate otherwise. The studies indicate a
lack of consistency in the link between the use of cell phones cancer of the
nerves, brains or any tissue infection around the neck or head.
The lack of scientific and statistical evidence to
link the use of cell phones to causes of cancer is evidence that they are
harmless. The main reason for the increased concern that wireless phones may
lead to increased cancer infection is from the emission of radio waves
(Kovach). This fact overlooks other causative agents that impose the same
threat to the society. In the case of cellular phones, the rapid increase in
these devices is a primary reason for this concern. However, mobile phones
increase has been met with changes in the production and distribution of the
phones. International production standards have been implemented reducing the
dangers posed by cellular phones to the society. Hence, they are not dangerous
gadgets.
