Mobile Phones – The Debatable Health Safety Quotient – Part II
The EWG researchers have detected other disturbing trends that linked mobile phone radiation with recurrent migraine and vertigo being noticed. According to a study done on more than four lakh grown-ups from Denmark that used cell phones for protracted periods of time, it was noted that ten to twenty percent of them were highly prone to be hospitalised due to migraine problem or vertigo in contrast to those that made lesser use of mobile phones.
The EWG researchers mentioned that they are continuing the use of the mobile phones; however customers must opt for only those phones that had the lowest possible radiation emission rates.
The EWG rated a list of thousand mobile phones based on their radiation emission levels and has drawn a listing of ten phones with the top ranked on the listing not necessarily indicating that the phone is the highly idyllic or the safest bet, but just that the phones displayed lowest possible emissions when compared to the other phone models whose data was accessible.
The following top ten listing is based on the lowest possible emission rates:
- Samsung Impression.
- Motorola RAZR V8.
- Samsung SGH-t229.
- Samsung Rugby.
- Samsung Propel Pro.
- Samsung Gravity.
- T Mobile Sidekick.
- LG Xenon.
- Motorola Karma.
- Sanyo Kantana II.
The much clamoured for model, iPhone 3G was perched in the middle spot of the entire listing. The following phone models featured at the tail end of the listing depicting the soaring radiation emissions that included phones like T-Mobile Shadow, Motorola W385, Blackberry Curve 8330, T-Mobile myTouch3G, Motorola MOTO VU204 and Kyocera Jax S1300.
With the raging debate on the cancer threats among cell phone users continues, the MD of the American Cancer Society, Mr. Michael Thun who reassessed the EWG report states that their conclusion regarding soaring proofs of health damage is flawed as they have not investigated the protracted usage of phones.
Mr.Thun cited the example of Sweden to make his point clear stating that it had the longest spanning history of mobile phone use, yet no rise in the brain cancer cases have been reported there. He stated that factually the rate of cell phone usage has soared in the past twenty years. He added that the radiation emitted from cell phones are non-ionising in nature that do not break down the DNA.
Thun agrees to the conclusion in the report that lays emphasis on the point that cell phones need stronger government guidelines. Thun also noted that those apprehensive about cell phone usage could opt for the corded or the cordless earpieces as the major exposure emanates from the antenna. So, with earpiece that is hardly any significant kind exposure.
