7. Task 5
1. My thoughts on health and safety when using mobile devices
are: IT is not yet been proved that they are harmful to health
since long term effects cannot be tracked yet. However, the main
worry harm brain tissue. However this research showed that
older mobiles were at risk and new phones are better designed
to reduce the risk. Scientist think children are more at risk since
their skulls are thinner and therefor radiation can penetrate
easily. To reduce the risks to health and safety phone calls should
be kept short and hands free used when possible.
