Modern-day technology sometimes requires protection
Cell Phone Gave Man a Tumor, According to Major Court Ruling
November 07 2012
Story at-a-glance
-
Italy’s supreme court has ruled that a man’s brain tumor was linked to his heavy cell phone use.
-
The
man reportedly used a cell phone for five to six hours a day for 12
years while talking to business clients; he developed a tumor in his
trigeminal nerve, at a location very close to where the phone came into
contact with his head.
-
Even
if you don’t use a cell phone for hours each day, research has revealed
that after just 50 minutes of cell phone exposure, the emitted
radiation increases brain cell activity in the region closest to the
cell phone antenna.
-
Another
analysis projected a very large increase in brain cancer incidence
resulting from widespread mobile phone use beginning in approximately 15
years.
-
A
cell phone is a two-way microwave-radiating device that has been
associated with not only brain tumors but also salivary gland tumors,
weakened sperm production, blood brain barrier permeability, fetal
impacts, and hearing loss and tinnitus, among other issues.
-
When
it comes to cell phone use, distance is your friend. Adults should not
keep a cell phone in a pocket or on the body, and should use an air-tube
headset or the speakerphone feature as much as possible. Children
should rarely, if ever, use cell phones.
