Cellphones cause cancer - Indians possibly at higher risk

I know that this is really old information. Everyone is now aware (I hope) that cellphones cause cance. But here are some more details about this that I gleaned from an indiadaily news item.

Normal cell phones used in the developed and developing world work on the basis of electromagnetic radiations that include something called microwave. Microwave technologies are used in your home microwave and for satellite communications. But microwave is dangerous because it causes cancer. Many studies show that cell phone users are subjected to cancer causing microwave. You can also be subjected to microwave if you are within 800 feet of the cell phone towers. And in all countries including India, cell phone providers are disguising cell phone tower and microcells all over the populated areas. They are also secretly putting relay mechanisms in different areas of the populated areas. These can also cause cancer. The wireless headphones cannot stop radiation. Some of the symptoms people can have include fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness and so on. Among children, it is found that cell phone using children receiving electromagnetic radiation can reduce the learning ability.




The cell phone industry in any country does not agree with this perception at all. India is worst affected. Because, lack of land based phone lines gave India a jumpstart in cell phones.





Every Indian will have a cell phone and be mobile in the next two tears. Country sides that never had land based phone lines, are have satellite based cell phone communication centers in villages that provide cell phones to all in remote villages. As a result, India suspects that the cancer rates among Indians can go through the roof if no actions are taken. Cell phones that send and receive pictures are worse because they need more power. By 2010, the world will have 2 Billion cell phone users in the world.



The older portable phones are safer that work with continuous RF technologies. The newer digital gigahertz based portable phones are worse than cell phones. Again India is badly affected because these newer phones are what are being used in India.
