This document summarizes key points from a presentation on controversies regarding electromagnetic fields in medicine and biology. The main points are:
1. Children absorb more microwave radiation from cellphones than adults and are at greater risk of health effects like brain cancer and sperm damage.
2. Computer simulations using MRI scans of children show microwave radiation penetrates deeper into children's brains and they absorb more in critical areas like the hippocampus and cerebellum compared to adults.
3. Several countries have issued warnings about cellphone use by children or bans on cellphone sales and advertising targeting young children due to health concerns.
MOBILE TOWER RADIATION IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL IMPAIRMENTIAEME Publication
Mobile Phone usage has increased exponentially across the globe in the past two
decades and to deliver proper signal strength, the number of mobile phone towers is
also increasing globally, creating widespread speculation and concern among both
the cell phone users and non-users alike. In this paper, a detailed account of the
various biological effects of mobile tower radiation on humans and the norms adopted
in different countries has been conferred. Furthermore, various case studies and
surveys from around the world relevant to this issue have been discussed to put forth
the alarming status of the mobile tower radiation.
What You Need to Know About Wireless Radiation and Your BabyTower500
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) recently classified wireless radiation as possibly carcinogenic to humans, and numerous animal studies have shown neurological effects, including behavioral disorders, that may lead to long-term health consequences. All of this suggests that taking certain precautions around wireless radiation is appropriate for our most vulnerable populations, including
pregnant women.

Electronic devices we use every day, have not been around very long. For example, although the cell phone has grown over the past twenty years, it is only recently that they have become pervasive. Everyone now own one. As a result, it is only now that we are beginning to understand what the long-term health effects of low levels of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) emitted from these electronic devices.
The growing body of scientific research indicates that electronic emissions do have an effect on human biology. There are health risks linked to exposure, and we should expect more studies designed to improve our understanding.

Harmful effects of Radiation from Mobile Phones (1).pdfAhmad fraz
Mobile phone use is so widespread (it was estimated in 2011 that there were around five billion mobile phone users), public concerns about the possible health effects of mobile phones receive a lot of coverage in the media. Because so many people use mobile phones, medical researchers are concerned that any associated health risks, even small ones, could cause significant public health problems.
Mobile phones communicate with base stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough, it has a ‘thermal’ effect, which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumours.
Wireless routers – as well as Bluetooth and similar wireless systems – give off electromagnetic radiation in the low-igahertz frequency.This level is considered potentially dangerous to people. And the danger is
compounded by several factors:
Just like the wireless signals themselves, the EMFs can pass through walls.
Most routers are not turned off at night, so you are exposed 24/7.
You are not only exposed to EMFs from your own router. Did you ever search for a wireless signal and see not only your wireless network, but also your neighbor’s and the one from the business down the street? All of them emit EMFs.
Scientists and researchers are uncovering the health risks of EMFs. Depending on the level and the length of exposure,
Those risks can range from insomnia and headaches to tumors.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge and attitude on hazards of mobile phone uses and prevention among nursing adolescents.
Participants and setting: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of education knowledge and attitude on hazards of mobile phone uses and prevention among adolescents. Descriptive design was adopted and the study was conducted in suryapet. 50 adolescents who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique.
Intervention: Data was collected regarding demographic variable, knowledge and attitude of the adolescents on hazards of mobile phone uses and prevention. The investigator assessed the level of knowledge and attitude of the adolescents by using structured questionnaire and modified three point Likert Scale and by using checklist through one to one teaching by lecture, demonstration, video clippings and verbalization. Structured teaching programme was conducted on the same day on group wise each group consists of 10 members. Data collection was done in Telugu and English the questionnaire was distributed to each adolescents. At the end of the teaching the doubts were cleared. Then 10 minutes was allotted for discussion.
Measurement and findings: The study revealed that 72% of adolescents had good knowledge and 22% had average knowledge. It was found that majority (80%) of adolescents had positive attitude and 14% had negative attitude towards alcoholism. The effectiveness of programme showed high level of significant at p<0.001 level. It showed that structured teaching programme was an effective method to improve the knowledge and attitude there by the avoiding phone usage.
Conclusion: Adolescents tend to adopt negative attitude towards alcoholism only after they have good knowledge regarding hazards of mobile phone uses and prevention. On the basis of the results of the present study, it may be suggested that youth should be aware regarding the complications and consequences of mobile phone usage.

Cell Phones
Cell phone is a brilliant innovation of the 20th century having solved a lot of the problems that are faced by the human being on their day to day life. Distances have been reduced to phone calls. However, research has shown that cell phones are carcinogenic to people. Use of the cell phones is associated with the increase instances of cancers especially the brain tumor (Lin, 2009). Currently, people in the world believe that communication has been made easier; apparently, cell phones are dangerous to their human health.
Background information on cell phones
Cell phones are emitters of the harmful radiofrequency energy which when its amount are too high and exposed to the human can lead to cancer. Radiofrequency energy emitted by a cell phone to a user is believed to damage the brain cells gradually. The damaged caused depended on the level of technology the phone has bee made. The distance that exists between the phone’s antenna and a given user determines the extent to which harm is caused.
Radiofrequency energy - Radiofrequency energy refers to a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic emission or radiation which tends to be absorbed by tissues near the emitter such as the phone. These forms of radiation can travel through a space or air leading to damage to the object it meets along the way.
Sources of Radiofrequency energy – there are many sources of radiation that exist in our surrounding. Such sources of radiations are cell phones, radios, television, radars, satellite stations and microwaves among others. In this case, the focus is given on the cell phone since it endangers the lives of many human beings.
Effects of radiation – Radiation emitted by the cell phones cause’s tissue damages, cancer and tissue damages. In addition, the ear exposure leads to the swelling of the eardrum leading to pain and even paralysis (Lin, 2009). The main focus is given to the brain tumor that is a very severe disease and difficult to cure due to its complexity and desire for expert's attention.

20. FOMO “fear of missing out.” FOMO is considered a form of social
anxiety—a compulsive concern that one might miss an opportunity for
social interaction, a novel experience, or some other satisfying event.
FOMO reflects a worry that friends may be having rewarding experiences
from which one is absent [20]
Digital dementia: “Concerns continue to increase in South Korea.
Researchers are now concerned with ‘digital dementia,’ a term coined in
that country to describe a deterioration in cognitive abilities frequently
seen in people who have suffered head trauma or brain diseases. South
Korean physicians studying this phenomenon say that heavy Internet use
may overdevelop the left side of the brain and leave the right side
underdeveloped. Attention and memory span are affected, along with
impulse control. Many heavy Internet users, which includes 18% of those
between 10 and 19 years of age who use their smartphones for more than
seven hours a day, cannot perform simple memory tasks such as recalling
their own phone numbers.” [20]
