Concerns have been raised about the normal mobile phone, which has the antenna in the handset. In this case, the antenna is very close to the user's head during normal use of the telephone and there is concern about the level of microwave emissions to which the brain is being exposed.
Telephones that have the antenna mounted elsewhere are of little concern, since exposure levels decrease rapidly with increasing distance from the antenna.
Reports have appeared in the media linking the use of mobile telephones with, among other things, headaches, hot spots in the brain and brain cancer.
Media reports have claimed that up to 70 percent of the microwave emissions from hand-held mobile telephones may be absorbed in the user's head. This is not supported by the evidence, but nevertheless leads to speculation that hot spots may be created in the user's brain, thereby raising concerns that the telephones may be a health risk. Other reports have indicated that mobile telephone users suffer localized headaches when they use their telephone. At this stage, it is difficult to evaluate the evidence supporting these reports, since they have not been published.
The brain cancer reports originated in the USA where a number of lawsuits have been lodged against mobile telephone manufacturers and suppliers. These claims for damages allege that the microwave emissions from mobile telephones used by the claimants caused their (in some cases, fatal) brain cancers. Those few cases that have been tried have been dismissed for lack of supporting evidence.
Concern about a possible increased risk of brain cancer in mobile phone users has continued. In response, a major project, INTERPHONE, has been organised. The INTERPHONE project is a multi-national series of epidemiological studies testing whether using mobile phones increases the risk of various cancers in the head and neck. The project comprises national studies from 13 different countries, which are coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Partial results from some of the studies have been published showing no overall association between mobile phone use and head and neck cancer. However some of the studies reported a small association with acoustic neuroma and glioma for prolonged (more than ten years) mobile phone use. A full report of the INTERPHONE project will be made available by IARC once all of the studies are completed.

Precautions to prevent health risks
1. Never keep the cell phone in the left side of pocket as cell waves affect the heart.
2. If you wish to speak in mobile for longer time, change the position cell phone for every one minute from left to right vice versa.
3. If you talk continuously for 45 seconds, the endothelial layer in the year may get damaged.
4. In blue tooth and cell phone, the bad effects of radiation are same. So, use ear phones to decrease the bad effects of radiation.
Though there are controversies regarding the effects of mobile radiation on health, it is better to decrease the mobile usage. Use the cell phone judiciously.

Effects of Cell Phone on Health
With increase in cell phone usage, there is a gradual rise in health hazards due to its radiation.
Effects of Mobile Phone radiation on health:
1. If you speak for more than one hour in cell phone, the endothelial cells in brain are more affected by 2 watts of radiation leading to stress effects.
2. Effects of mobile are more on the soft parts of body like Eyes and Testicles. Vision is diminished and sperm count is decreased.
3. In children, as brain is in the developing stage, the central nervous system is badly affected with the excessive use of mobile phone. The mobile radiation may affect their memory power.
4. Even though children appear normal, they develop anger, uneasiness and decrease in analytical power.
5. Blood circulation to the brain is also affected. The DNA in the brain cells is also affected.
6. Other effects: Headache, memory loss, mental fatigue and weakness of the body.
7. Mobile users may be affected by neurological diseases in long term.
8. Excessive use of mobile may lead to cancer (10 years). It is under investigation.

Mobile Broadband Services
A question many of us have probably been asked to answer what with telemarketers and ad campaigns boasting this amazing new service. But if you’ve already got wireless Internet is it really worth switching over to mobile broadband? Here are a few things to consider:
What do you use your laptop for? Do you really need to access the Internet when you’re not at home or in the work place? Will you really use the service? Many of us already have wireless access at home and often everywhere you work these days also has Internet access. Consider if you would really benefit by being able to take your laptop anywhere you want. If you’re a business person who travels and requires email access anywhere at any time then mobile broadband might be the perfect solution!
What about price? If you’ve already decided you might be interested in mobile Internet access then compare how much mobile broadband would costs versus what you already pay. In some cases the USB stick may cost upwards of $100. Unless they’re giving it away for free, see how the cost comparison stacks up before you make the switch including the download limit and speed the company is offering.
Another important factor to consider is if you already spent the $400 on an iPhone or PDA that you already pay to access the Internet with? Will the phone provide you enough access for what you need or will you need more?
In these tough times it’s important to be considerate of our costs and needs…so always do a bit of homework! It will always pay off and benefit you in the end!
