WHAT EFFECTS DO MOBILE PHONES HAVE ON PEOPLE’S HEALTH?

One and only onehigh power base station with which allusers communicate.

NormalTelephone

System

Wired connection

The core idea that led to today’s

system was the cellular concept.

The cellular concept: multiple

lower-power base stations that

service mobile users within their

coverage area and handoff users

to neighboring base stations as

users move.

1. RADIATION EFFECT A part of the radio waves emitted by a mobile telephone handset are absorbed by the human head.

The best known measure is SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), which measures the RF power absorbed by

the human body.

Note:

Temperature rise is very minimal in the

first few minutes.

Then rises sharply at about 15 minutes

Continued a very gradual increase

thereafter

•A typical GSM digital cellular phone operating at a maximum average power

output of about 0.25 watts (W) might results in a SAR of about 0.5-1.5 W/kg

averaged over a gram of tissue.

•This is often associated with a very low rise in brain temperature (maximum 0.1º

C) (Anderson and Joyner 1995; Vaberg 1997; van Leeuwen et al. 1999).

•This temperature rise increases with the length of the call as shown in this graph.

3. BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER EFFECTS

* Mobile phones open up the Blood Brain Barrier

4. CANCER & BRAIN TUMOUR

• Some researchers have argued

that so-called "non-thermal effects"

could be reinterpreted as a normal

cellular response to an increase in

temperature.

• The German biophysicist Roland

Glaser, for example, has argued

that there are several thermo-

receptor molecules in cells, and

that they activate a cascade of

second and third messenger

systems, gene expression

mechanisms and production

of heat shock proteins in order to

defend the cell against

metabolic cell stress caused by

heat.

Cell phones may interfere with pacemakers

5. EFFECT ON HEART•Studies suggest, the strength of these fields will not

affect ordinary heart rhythm or function.

•Can present a danger to those with an implanted

pacemaker, internal defibrillator or similar device.

•Problems most likely to arise when pacemakers and

defibrillators are being programmed or reset by

medical staff.

•Recommended that keep

cell phones and media

players at least six inches

from the generator

(implanted device).
