British researchers have tarnished the reputation of cell phones worldwide when they published the results of their tests with swab on wireless devices. All heat from the phone, accumulated on our skin, our mouths or our pockets, briefcases or handbags where we put our cell phones, can create a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause a cold, an infection staphylococcal or even meningitis. But do not press the panic button! The presence of bacteria does not necessarily lead to infection just regularly clean the surface of your phone to keep it clean.

There is no doubt that a ringtone or unwelcome phone call can keep you awake all night, but cell phones can cause particularly insomnia. In a sleep study, it was found that participants exposed to wireless signals for three hours, took longer to fall into deep sleep another group not exposed to these signals. Some have also reported headaches. It could also be that the cell responsible for the sometimes grumpy teenagers, because it was found that the excessive use of cell phones by teenagers tended to promote agitation and sleep disturbance.

While more of the spent minutes on cell phone decrease the sperm count. That at least is what reveals research published in the Journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Compared to other men, those who have the habit of talking on the phone more than 4 hours per day had an average number of sperm and lower also fewer viable sperm. Although this relationship is not excluded, these researchers are continuing their research to determine if electromagnetic radiation is the cause of this decline in sperm production or lifestyle factors and other professionals may be involved.

Use your cell phone only when absolutely necessary and prefer the land line if possible. Stay away from the phone. Even a few inches between your body and your phone may reduce the risk. Try the hands-free system, such as headphones or the speakerphone function. Try the headset, such as those using Bluetooth technology. These systems emit less radiation than the traditional cell phone held to the ear. Buy a phone that emits less radiation. You can find on the internet the emission of radiation of cell depending on the brand.
If you are a parent and you plan to provide a cell phone for your child, keep in mind the concerns of health and safety for young people. Do not forget, either, that the cell phone is more than just a phone and ask if your child is able to responsibly manage a phone, a camera, an internet connection and a wireless system text messaging. Think how complex it can be to monitor the use of these tools. If you’re in your car and you need to make a call, take the time to remove yourself from the lane to your call in a safe place. Close your cell phone to make sure you are not disturbed while you sleep. To keep some distance between your body and your cell, do not carry your phone in your pocket or belt.

There is no doubt that the cell phone is really convenient and must for today’s world. It provides a safety net basis, the possibility of instant communication with others – and with emergency services – in case of need. But it poses a tremendous health hazards and a security preach when we are hyper connected for a long such periods. Rather than falling into panic “And if …” stay connected on the few following concerns regarding the use of cell phones and health.

In fact, your cell phone is not a phone. It is a radio transceiver that emits radiation at low power. Cell phones are glued against our ears, our cheeks and neck exposed us very close to a field of radio waves. Holding a radio receiver near our head exposes us there to enough radiation to cause tumors or cancer.

At present, the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that it is unlikely that exposure to radiation from cell phones “to induce or promote the development of cancer.” The WHO considers a significant amount of scientific research on the subject, but the report was not released till early 2010.

It is difficult to measure the impact of exposure to cell phones since some cancers have more than 10 years to develop and statistics on the use of cell that have exploded in recent years. Some recent research, however, managed to identify users over 10 years and have established a possible association with tumors and brain cancer. The heat generated by the cell and the proximity of radio frequency energy were suspected as being the cause of tumors of the head and neck and salivary glands. Despite inconclusive, many health experts encourage the precautionary principle.

The popular sayings “prevention is better than cure” applies especially to children who use a cell phone. A child whose brain is still developing, whose tissues are softer and thinner thickness of the skull, may indeed be more exposed to the penetration of radiation than adults. This coupled with the fact that children nowadays tend to use their cell phone and still growing, and more and more young people, health risk, if any, could increase. There is not yet conclusive evidence on the dangers of cell phones and children’s health, but many researchers recommend limited use of this device as a precaution.

It is hardly surprising that many states in the United States have banned the use of cell phones while driving: the act of driving by talking with their cell phone may have consequences as serious as driving while intoxicated. And this is true whether the cellular hand or method supposedly safer hands free. It appears that the lack of attention can be a bigger problem than not having his hands on the wheel. You are caught in a telephone conversation; your attention is divided between listening, formulating your answers, talking and the road ahead.
