Mobiles – No more a scare to your life
“Mobile causes brain tumors”, “Risk your life with the use of mobiles”, and so on..Well these were just a few of the headlines some time back that actually frightened most of us to even talk to our friends and relatives on the mobiles. But not anymore!
According to a scientific research performed by experts in Australia, it has been finally declared that using mobiles is no more a scary matter. The research declared that using mobiles is absolutely safe and all the related health risks are deep rooted into our minds.
Prof. Rodney Croft, the respected executive director of Australian Center for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research (ACRBR), and also a professor of the Health Psychology in the University of Wollongong, cleared the fog from the minds of people about the health effects of using mobile phones. He made it clear that the health doubts of the location of the mobile phones and its base stations would however melt away with the passing time.
News.com.au excerpted Prof. Rodney saying “There really isn’t a great deal of difference between your basic FM radio antenna and your base station’s antennas”. He further added “Radio transmissions have been around for a long, long time and people don’t seem to mind being exposed to that”.
He said that we humans have the tendency to being suspicious about all new things that we come across. To this, he also stated “When microwave ovens first came out there was a great deal of suspicion about them, when mains power came out there was a great deal of suspicion about it”. “People do move on . . . providing, of course, no science comes out showing it is more dangerous. And certainly the centre’s view is that’s not likely to happen.”
However, the World Health Organization (WHO) will soon be releasing the decade long investigation on interphone study to the public for knowing about the health allusions known about using the mobile phones. Prof. Croft further added to this news that the research body is to be ignoring a number of researches according to which mobiles are linked to cancer. He also said “But it will still leave open the possibility that long-term effects have not been looked at adequately, and may turn out to be a problem”. But finally, it’s clear now that using mobiles is as safe as it was earlier.
