Noone knows what to believe when it comes to the issue of cell phone radiation. One study proves cell phones to be completely harmless, and the other that they are very harmful. The cell phone user is completely confused, hopes for the best, and just keeps on using the cell phone.
A group of researchers of the medical university of Vienna found out that cell phone radiation can cause cancer. That was in the year 2005. Now it is known that fake data had been used and thus, the study did not provide any valid results.
The researchers of another study carried out in five different countries concluded that cell phones can cause cancer by no means. The headline of the Süddeutsche Zeitung (a German newspaper) however, was announcing the opposite by using a nonrelevant partial result of the study as a proof.
A Danish study with 420.000 participants found out that the radiation does not cause cancer. The researchers however stated that their findings cannot automatically be applied to people talking on the phone excessively.
In another study, Swedish researchers came to the conclusion that cell phone radiation leads to sleep disorder. However, it was not mentioned that the extension of the time needed for falling asleep was nearly insignificant, and that the tests did not mirror the general public’s normal cell phone use. Another weakness of the study: Only 71 test persons took part in the study.
Finally, there is a new study that has been carried out for the last six years by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. This new study seems to be reliable.The conclusion of the study is that cell phone radiation is harmless. The researchers however still warn parents of exposing their children to it.
The problem of all these studies is that there are no cell phone users who have been using their precious mobile device for 30 - 40 years. Thus, noone knows if cell phones can cause long-term damage. Nevertheless, when comparing the results of all studies, it becomes obvious that those studies that prove cell phones to be harmful are either misinterpreted, distorted or not representative, and the others that did not prove any harmfulness are not applicable to all people and all situations, but at least show that there is no acute risk. Despite the study chaos that at least for me does not provide a clear point of view, I will keep on using my cell phone. The point is, a hot ear after talking on the phone is NO evidence for just having roasted your brain with the help of micro waves. The hot ear is just caused by the battery that heats up when in use. So, I’d say wait and see, and keep on talking on the phone!!
