IIT Professor's study proves Cellphone radiation is dangerous

Prof Girish Kumar of IIT-Bombay's department of electrical engineering warns against excessive use of cell phones as they put users, to increased risk of cancer, brain tumour and many other health hazards.

The effects are even more profound in the case of children.

Following are some of the major findings of Dr.Kumar's study:

1. A 400% increase in the risk of brain cancer among for teenagers using cell phones. Children are more vulnerable to cell phone radiation. The younger the child, the deeper is the penetration of electromagnetic radiation as children's skulls are thinner.  
2. Use of cell phones for more than 30 minutes per day for 10 years increases the risk of brain cancer and acoustic neuroma. 
3. Cell phone radiation causes irreversible damage to male fertility. 
4. Cell phone frequencies interfere with the functioning of other life-saving gadgets, including implanted pace-makers, and may, therefore, cause sudden death. 
5. degrade the immune system and stimulate allergic\inflammatory responses, including rashes, sores, biting sensations and lesions. 
6. higher risk of hearing loss. Cell phone radiation can cause tinnitus and damage the auditory hair cells present in the inner ear. Once damaged, these cells can never regenerate.  
7. damage the visual system in many ways. Cell phone frequencies (900, 1800 MHz and 2450 MHz) damage epithelial cells and increase the temperature within the eye.
8. increased risk of salivary gland cancer is linked to the use of mobile phones.
9. bees and birds become disoriented and cannot return to their hives and nests. It has adverse effects on animals, plants and the environment

People, remember that in 1960s everyone thought smoking was fine. But now we know that smoking is dangerous. We are in the 1960s as far as Cellphone usage is concerned.
