What are the hazards of mobile phones to people's physical and mental health?

In recent years, the research on the health effects of mobile phone radiation has attracted public attention. Besides, what other health problems will mobile phones bring? ABC News recently announced the "seven deadly sins" of mobile phones.

1. Doctors have the most germs on their mobile phones.

The latest research found that many health problems related to mobile phones are not caused by their own mobile phones, but by doctors' mobile phones. A recent study published in the Annual Report of Clinical Microbiology in Turkey showed that 94.5% of the 200 medical staff tested found harmful bacteria on their mobile phones, some of which were dangerous "superbugs". Only 10% of medical staff often clean their mobile phones.

2. One of the road killers: turn on the mobile phone.

The influence of cell phone radiation on the brain is far less than that of driving a cell phone. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States have found that drivers' attention will be reduced by 37% and the risk of car accidents will be greatly increased.

3. The second road killer: walking on the mobile phone.

When walking, talking on the phone or staring at the Internet or browsing short messages is the easiest way to ignore traffic safety. When people cross the road, the probability of "looking around" is reduced by 20%, and the risk of traffic accidents is increased by 43%.

4. It is more prone to mobile phone dependence if it is tuned into vibration.

"Mobile phone auditory hallucination" is one of the most annoying by-products in the wireless age. This illusion that "the mobile phone keeps ringing" is actually a psychological problem caused by frequent use of mobile phones. The latest research found that people who love to turn their mobile phones into vibrations are more likely to have mobile phone dependence.

5. Old texting leads to thumb syndrome.

Using mobile phone to send short messages or surf the Internet crazily for a long time will inevitably overload the thumb, lead to tendon strain of thumb and fingers, and then lead to thumb syndrome, with symptoms such as sore thumb, numbness and swelling.

6. Cell phones can also cause allergies.

Some people have skin allergy symptoms inexplicably after using their mobile phones for a short time, such as redness, rash and even blisters. It is found that the chief culprit of this kind of contact dermatitis is some metals on the shell or accessories of mobile phones, such as nickel.

7. Shouting loudly hurts your hearing.

Nowadays, many people regard their mobile phones as MP3 players, and many people like to turn up the volume of their mobile phones. But experts say that if the sound exceeds 80 decibels, it will hurt your ears. Normal calls are 60 decibels, while cell phone headphones usually reach 100 decibels. In a noisy environment, people will involuntarily turn up the volume. As everyone knows, at this time, hearing loss is coming quietly.
