Does cell phone radiation harm people
The danger of cell phone radiation to human health is an objective and serious social problem, and it will not disappear just because the cell phone industry deliberately conceals and avoids it. At present, the world has begun to pay attention to the problem of cell phone radiation, and repeatedly "discretion" about the radiation of the technical standards, but unfortunately, relative to the global popularity of cell phones and consumer health, this slow "discretion" has been late, and we have reason to believe that this procrastination scenario in many cases, and we have reason to believe that the cell phone industry will be the most important factor in the development of a new technology. We have reason to believe that this procrastination will continue in many countries. So it is not the lack of technical standards for cell phone radiation that is sad, but rather the lack of mechanisms to deal with the benefits of this impact on public **** safety. The era of globalization is the era of multinational corporations dominating the global economy, and the influence of large corporations goes far beyond the economic sphere; they have become a power system that affects the functioning of society. Problems like cell phone radiation, large companies through the avoidance of industrial privacy, has actually infringed on the rights of the public. Social public **** health should be seen as a public **** product, for example, when many companies are polluting the air, the coordination of this public **** product, the guardian should be the government. The same goes for the public health hazards of cell phone radiation; we can't avoid the existence of radiation because we can't see it. This is because the development of society cannot be fully equated with the development of a group of companies, but with the development of the population as a whole. On the issue of cell phone radiation, governments have the responsibility to accelerate research on radiation and provide symmetrical information on radiation to the public; they also have the responsibility to set strict standards for corporations, so that corporations can take on more responsibility for the public and establish a two-tiered responsibility that serves society as well as profit. Therefore, cell phone radiation is not scary, but what is scary is that the international community has not established a rapid coordination mechanism to avoid similar problems from occurring continuously. Modern civilization has brought people a wealth of products and services, but also put people into a "happy trouble": with the increase in the frequency of cell phone use, health and safety issues caused by cell phone radiation has become the focus of attention in the industry. What is cell phone radiation Research shows that when people use cell phones, cell phones will transmit radio waves to the transmitter base station, and any kind of radio waves will be more or less absorbed by the human body, thus changing the human body tissues, but also on the human body's health may bring the impact of these waves known as cell phone radiation. In fact, cell phone radiation is called irradiation is more reasonable, because the frequency used by the cell phone is between 800 and 1800MHz, and X-rays or gamma rays and other ionizing radiation is completely different, it can not produce ionization or radiant energy in the human body, so it is called non-ionizing radiation field. The size of cell phone radiation, in the international scientific community has a set of relatively complete measurement standards, is the so-called SAR value. SAR is the abbreviation of Specific Absorption Rate, that is, the specific absorption rate, also known as the electromagnetic radiation test value, in layman's terms, that is, the size of the impact of cell phone radiation on the human body. In 1990, the International Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) developed a technical standard for the measurement of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, and in 1998, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) also developed a similar technical standard, which uses SAR to measure the size of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones. The ICNIRP standard has been recommended by the International Telecommunication Union and the International Health Organization and supported by most countries. In China, led by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, jointly with the Ministry of Health, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Administration of Radio, State Grid Corporation and other units to form the "Joint Working Group on National Standards for Electromagnetic Radiation" is jointly formulating China's electromagnetic radiation protection standards, which is also SAR as a measure of cell phone radiation as the basic limit. Cell phone radiation is scarier than imagined With the rapid rise in the amount of cell phone holdings, people may be triggered by cell phone radiation health and safety issues have begun to pay increasing attention to. However, most cell phone users still have an incomplete understanding of cell phone radiation, while more and more scientific studies have shown that the harm caused by cell phone radiation is far more terrible than imagined. Although the academic community on cell phone radiation is still controversial, but it can not be denied that under certain conditions will be harmful to the human body. By the head of the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Madrid Complutense, Spain, Professor Sebastian organized a study that showed that the data derived from existing methods clearly underestimates the impact of radiation on human tissue. Sebastian said: "Since the intensity of electromagnetic fields is greater than expected, the health effects will be correspondingly greater. We estimate that the hazards of electromagnetic radiation will continue to accumulate, and that in 10 to 15 years' time, there will probably be more cases of illnesses caused by cell phone use." Dr. Gunnhilde Overdell, PhD, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and colleagues conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 12,000 Swedes, as well as 5,000 Norwegians, who all use cell phones at work. As a result, 7,803 people responded in Sweden and 2,828 in Norway. Of the Norwegians who took part in the survey, 31% developed at least one condition, while among the Swedes, 13% developed one or more conditions. The study also shows that headaches are most likely to occur within half an hour of a phone call, and sometimes in the middle of a phone call. Many Norwegians say that the pain occurs after 5 minutes or more on the phone. Many Swedes also say that symptoms occur after 5 minutes or more on the phone. In China, there are also some researchers on cell phone radiation warning. Xie Yichen, a professor of physics at Jiamusi University, believes that the current controversy over cell phone radiation is really only a discussion of the amount, not whether there is a problem. Xie Yichen analyzed that the harm of cell phone radiation on the human body, can be understood from the well-known law of conservation of energy. Cell phone mainly through the antenna to the outside of the microwave radiation, the nature of this radiation is the spread of energy, these microwave energy has a strong penetration, when they enter the human organ, according to the law of conservation of energy it will not be extinguished, it is the transfer of these energies to the human body organs, the conversion of other forms of energy, that is, to produce thermal and non-thermal effects. Xie Yichen that, because the cell phone antenna in the use of close to the head, the emission of microwaves is very concentrated, so the use of cell phones for a long time, will cause local lesions. Scientific treatment of cell phone radiation In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out whether cell phone radiation affects human health, but the results have been difficult to be agreed upon by all scientific communities. At the same time, the results of research on cell phone radiation are not the same. In this regard, the Russian experts pointed out that this is due to different research methods. Experts from the Moscow Medical Academy, writing in the Russian journal Chemistry and Life, said that there are three general reasons for these differences: First, many scientific research groups use different research methods, so researchers are unable to compare the data obtained by these groups; second, the short observation period is another shortcoming of this type of research. Some of the lesions suspected to be related to cell phones develop over a long period of time, and it is difficult to determine how some of the early lesions are related to cell phones with the current methodology; and third, some of the research activities may be influenced by the investors. Although the industry has yet to reach an accurate conclusion on the extent of the harm caused by cell phone radiation, experts suggest that it is best not to wait until the harmful effects of cell phone radiation have been fully proven before taking precautions. Stewart, Chairman of the National Radiation Protection Safety Committee (NRPSC) of the United Kingdom, has warned that our committee is very concerned about the impact of cell phone technology on public health. Although cell phones have become part of everyday life and even a fashionable accessory for some, just because people are using them does not mean they are safe. On the other hand, Ms. Marlene, the head of the German Consumers' Association, thinks that the most important thing now is to give consumers a standard of control regarding the radiation of cell phones. Cell phone is a new type of communication tool commonly used in modern people's life and work. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, the status of cell phones is becoming more and more important and their popularity is becoming more and more widespread. As a result, countries all over the world pay extra attention to the increasingly serious cell phone radiation and have formulated relevant regulations to govern the environment of cell phone radiation, while scientists and researchers in various countries are also actively exploring the hazards of cell phones to human health and are taking corresponding measures to eliminate such effects. In Germany, for example, as early as July 2001, the German Minister of the Environment said that the German Government would strengthen the management of radiation generated by mobile communications, requiring that from the fall of that year, cell phone manufacturers must accurately indicate the level of radiation on the instruction manual for cell phones. Some cell phone manufacturers on the issue of cell phone radiation is also very concerned. Sony Ericsson (China) public relations director Ning Shuyong said, as a representative of high-end cell phones, Sony Ericsson's cell phone products have been in the implementation of strict radiation standards for cell phones. Sony Ericsson all cell phone products in its manual and product website are labeled with the radiation value. In addition, Ning Shuyong also revealed that Sony Ericsson has extracted a green substance from some vegetables for use in the manufacture of cell phones, which is currently under testing. Haier, which has always been good at solving user problems, also brought surprises again. It is understood that some models of Haier cell phones have successfully passed the State Environmental Protection Administration Certification Center (CEC) of the cell phone SAR value test, the first batch of the second type of environmental labeling certification, which effectively reduces the radiation value and maintains the health of consumers. Of course, many products have a latent danger to people, similar to the question of whether cell phone radiation will affect human health, in the context of high-tech rapid changes in the way of life of mankind appeared not abruptly, the key to the problem is to solve the technical problems with a scientific attitude, which should be the human beings correctly deal with cell phone radiation rational thinking. That is to say, human beings should not give up civilization because of the possible hazards, but also can not be ignored in this regard; but should be from the research and development, use, management and other processes to give moderate attention.
