Mobile Makes Life Easy But Has Become An Health Hazard See How

By: on July 8th, 2016 in Mental Health

The proliferation of mobile phones has brought with it an increasing number of warnings regarding their effect on health. Everything from an increase in the frequency of brain tumors to an increase in blood pressure levels has been attributed to cell phones.
The main reason for most of these warnings is the radiation emanating from mobile phones. Mobile phones produce a form of radiation that is ‘non- ionizing’. This differs from radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays that have been known to damage DNA. However, radio frequency produced by mobile phones can produce heat and prolonged exposure may cause some damage over the long term.

However, mobile phones may be indirectly responsible for an increase in blood pressure. In this regard, the finger of suspicion does not fall on radio frequency radiation. Rather, it is the stress that mobile phone conversations engender that is thought to be the cause of an increase in blood pressure. New research has indicated that talking on a mobile phone may trigger an increase in blood pressure corresponding to the ‘surge’ that occurs with each heartbeat.

Researchers also found that those individuals who received thirty or more calls every day seemed to have developed some form of immunity to the blood pressure spikes. As of today, no conclusive evidence exists which proves that mobile phones can cause an increase in blood pressure or any other adverse effect on health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the National Cancer Institute both state that there is no evidence linking mobile phones with any health problem.
