Influence of mobile phones on health: real threat or the next myth?
You for certain had to hear time and again that mobile phones at long use do serious harm to an organism. From native, familiar, doctors, by radio or TV. And it is valid; conversations on this theme do not stop since that moment when mobile phones only started to enter into our life. Whether however so it actually? Whether mobile phones are harmful to health? Or it only a myth? Today we will try to understand in the circumstances and we will familiarize with different versions and results of researches.
- The external aerial of any device (as, however, and internal) can lead to temporary dysfunction of vocal chords in view of constant disputes, that from them more abruptly.
- Influence on a potentiality - positive: phone adhered to a device, will help to improve your sexual function, especially in a vibration mode.
- To pick the aerial in an ear can lead to loss of acoustical function.
- Hanging on belt Ericsson А1018 or R320 it prevents to be bent to a foot that conducts to pathological infringements of impellent function.
Certainly, it simply jokes which went on the Internet 2001 when conversations on harm of use of mobile phones only just began. Since then phones have very far promoted in the development, and it has given new occasions to disputes on their harm. Thus, certainly, disputes became more. And if it was spoken basically about adverse influence of radiation of the telephone transmitter on ears and a brain bark it is now spoken and about influence on sexual system, on heart, on attention and ability to concentration, on informative function and even on a dream earlier. The Yellow press with diligence peculiar to it is distressed concerning awful harm from phones. Sellers of phones in shops - opposite, speak about absolute harmlessness and almost utility. To whom all the same to trust - to journalists who sleep and see, what their material inexplicably will affect consciousness of society, or to the sellers interested only in extraction of the maximum profit? We with pleasure would tell, that in the given question to trust follows us, however to make it for some reasons cannot. Well, today we will familiarize with different versions about harmful influence of phones on health and we will look at results of some researches.
First of all we will clear up: many researches against which journalists of a yellow press lean have objectively become outdated. Probably, anybody from our readers would not buy the milk package which working life has expired couple of years back. Data of various researches hi-tech devices so quickly become outdated. For example, researches of phones which were issued in 1998 hardly will show such results, as researches of modern phones. However, we will speak about it more lowly.
It is a little statistics
But to begin with we will bring a few statistical data. The most exhaustive data by quantity of phones per capita usually represents the International telecommunication union (International Telecommunication Union). Last from similar ratings is dated by the end of 2004. Now these figures, certainly, have changed, however it should not affect arrangement of places. So...
«The greatest number of mobile phones is per capita marked in the European countries and most technologically advanced countries of Asia. The first place in a rating was occupied with Taiwan. It is one of two countries of the world where the number of cellular telephones exceeds number of inhabitants (10645 devices on 10000 inhabitants). On the second place there is Luxembourg. This country left on prize-winning places in many respects thanking very much to a small number of inhabitants (10134 phones on 10000 persons of the population). One more representative of Asia - Hong Kong (9298 phones on everyone 10 thousand persons) closes a three of leaders. The fourth and fifth places - at Italy (9265) and Iceland (9028). All places with 6th on 15 are occupied with Europeans. After Iceland there is Sweden and Czech, on 8th place there was Finland. The leader in the field of high technologies, Japan, strangely enough, only on 26th place (6211). The USA - on 29th. There one mobile phone is necessary approximately on two inhabitants. The most densely populated country of the world, China, too is not too sated yet by mobile phones. With an indicator of 1609 mobile phones on 10 thousand persons China has settled down on 39th place. Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar close the list. There the mobile communication is presented purely nominally - 552, 234, 166, 100 and even 3 (!) mobile phones on 10 thousand inhabitants accordingly. Russia, as well as other CIS countries, has not got to this list as composers of a rating did not have statistical data. However, as experts, in Russia now about 35 million mobile phones so it could be in this rating on 37th place, after Mexico »consider.
That is top-5 the countries with the greatest quantity of mobile phones per capita will look as follows:
Taiwan
Luxembourg
Hong Kong
Italy
Iceland
Well, and now we will start consideration of harmful influence of mobile phones. Also we will begin with exotic cases. For example, with such when the person speaking by phone, received blow by a lightning. Similar cases, certainly, was a little. However it was spoken about them very much.
In the summer of this year the theme of defeat by a lightning rose in the Great Britain: the case when the lightning has struck in phone schoolgirl just has in sight got while it accepted a call. To conclude it it was possible on character of traumas. According to doctors, the category has passed through an ear and has resulted in rupture of a membrane and brain defeat. Therefore the girl has lost hearing, memory and it has appeared paralyzed. On the published data, annually only in the Great Britain a lightning strikes nearby 40 persons, the tenth part from which perishes. Probability of hit of a lightning in working phone several times above probability of hit in the person. It managed to be installed in China, in 2004 when one of local tourists has received a lightning stroke during excursion about the Great Chinese wall. According to the Chinese doctors and employees of the Peking University, the mobile phone radiating electromagnetic waves, promotes electricity passage. In case of usual hit of a lightning in the person the charge dissipates on all body thanks to what many of victims survive. In a case with phone blow is necessary precisely in the purpose so the probability of a lethal outcome repeatedly increases.
Similar cases, by the way, took place to be not only in the Great Britain and China, but also in France, in South Korea, and also in Canada and on the South American continent.
Certainly, the brought figures are too small to force people to be afraid to use phones during a thunder-storm, especially in city conditions. However if you can appear in rainy weather with phone far from a civilization, it is necessary to remember the described cases - care still never stirred to nobody.
However it is everything as you understand, from the category of extreme cases, therefore to be late here we will not be, and we will pass at once to more essential problems, namely to harm of electromagnetic radiation of phone in an operating time.
SAR - what is it?
According to definition, SAR (or Specific Absorption Rate) is the unit of measure showing the maximum specific power, absorbed by a human body at usual conversation on a cellular telephone. The maximum safe level - 2,0. And the overwhelming majority of modern phones have SAR from 0,5 to 1,0.
Unit of measure SAR is the watt on kg (Vt/kg). In the North America, and also in the countries of Asian-Pacific region size SAR is defined on 1 г fabrics. In this case maximum value SAR makes 1,6 Vt/kg. In Europe and other countries size SAR is defined on 10 g fabrics. Here again it is already maximum admissible value SAR 2 Vt/kg are. It is necessary to notice at once, that size SAR is maximum capacity of radiation that is the majority of phones at usual use the point in 2 Vt/kg extremely seldom reach.
In Russia the situation with SAR looks both ridiculously and ridiculously simultaneously. The matter is that at us SAR officially it is not recognized as sanitary norm. And as makeshift it is accepted to trust the European standards. If to trust the sanitary norms developed still for the USSR no of modern phones in no event can be used, putting to an ear. In general about SAR it is possible to speak long, important to know the following: this indicator absolutely is not connected in any way with phone cost ("more cheaply" at all does not mean worse, and more expensively not always means better). Today manufacturers do not aspire to reduction of value SAR - they are excited much more with questions of creation of unique design and maximum functions at the minimum cost, the main thing - not to exceed admissible norm. Experts often compare SAR at various models of phones; regularly publish lists of models with maximum and minimum to values of this indicator. The last, that it was possible to get, looks as follows:
The highest indicators SAR
Motorola SLVR L6 (1,58)
Motorola V120c (1,55)
Motorola V70 (1,54)
Motorola C290 (1,53)
Motorola P8767 (1,53)
Motorola ST7868 (1,53)
Motorola ST7868W (1,53)
Motorola A845 (1,51)
Palm Treo 650 GSM (1,51)
Panasonic Allure (1,51)
The lowest indicators SAR
Audiovox PPC66001 (0,12)
Motorola MPx200 (0,2)
Motorola Timeport L7089 (0,22)
Qualcomm pdQ-1900 (0,263)
T-Mobile Sidekick (0,276)
Samsung SGH-S100 (0,296)
Samsung SGH-S105 (0,296)
Sony Ericsson Z600 (0,31)
Mitsubishi G360 (0,32)
Siemens S40 (0,33)
As we see, more often others here it was lighted Motorola. Especially in the first list. Has got here and the GSM-version of communicator Palm Treo 650. At the same time popular smart phone Motorola MPx200 has settled down on the second line of the list of models with the least value SAR. If your model in this list is not present, means, it has settled down somewhere in the middle. It is normal.
Logic here the simple: the less SAR, the better for your health. The accepted norms mean full safety of use for people, at which everything is all right with health. But as not too it is a lot of those, and without mobile phone use today practically not to manage, there is variety of questions. In what mode phone is most dangerous? In it’s what place is better to carry?

Thanks for the post. I had MPX200 and I think that it influenced me in bad way. It is terrible! I fell myself dying! Can you tell me any method to stop this process? bu-ga-ga
