Cells, a thing that we use every day, to talk, text, Facebook, email etc. People may think that they may not survive a day without their phones. Well, recently, the WHO has discovered through research that the radio frequency electromagnetic fields caused by cells phones can cause cancer. Cell phones transmit, this radiation in very low amounts, when in use, but after constant use, this device can also cause long term health problems such as cancer. This is a very big concern, in their view because, according to their studies, there are more than 5 billion cell phone subscribers, and more and more are added everyday. Other things, such as microwaves, radios, and some televisions could expose someone to radiation.
Opinion
Reading this article has made me think a little more of how much of this stuff I use all the time. At home, I watch TV, use the microwave, listen to the radio and talk on the cell phone, everyday! If one of these alone can be bad for you, imagine how many times teenagers use them today, they practically rely on these things to get through the day. I really hope that the WHO is looking in to making some laws and regulations that help from phones producing so much radiation. If they wrote these regulations, I'm sure cell phone companies would do something to try to make them better, and healthier for humans.
