Cell phone radiation is an important issue today. Some people think it's harmful to the human body. Others think that it's no such thing and it's just a rumor. As I do my research on whether cell phone radiation is harmful or not I will see the arguments of both sides. With that I will determine if cell phone radiation is harmful or not.

First, I read this article called "How Cell-phone Radiation Works". In this article I found the bad effects of radiation in the cell phone. For example the article states "When talking on a cell phone, most users place the phone against the head. In this position, there is a good chance that some of the radiation will be absorbed by human tissue."This statement shows that cell phone radiation can be harmful because the radiation is absorbed by human tissues as the person holds the phone to their head. I further learned how it effects the human tissues. There are also studies about the type of radiation that is in cell phones. In the article it states "All cell phones emit some amount of electromagnetic radiation. Given the close proximity of the phone to the head, it is possible for the radiation to cause some sort of harm to the 118 million cell-phone users in the United States." This statement shows how this type of radiation is harmful to human tissues. As I continued reading the article I also learned a specific radiation that does damage to the human body. This radiation is called Ionizing radiation. This type of radiation contains enough electromagnetic energy to strip atoms and molecules from the tissue and alter chemical reactions in the body. This definition of Ionizing radiation proves that cell phone radiation can be harmful because this type of radiation is in the cell phone. Right now it is being debated in the scientific and political arenas is just how much radiation is considered unsafe.

There is also another source to how radiation work but it's also a video. This video shows how cell phone radiation really is strong. In this video it shows about three cellphones are around popcorn but the popcorn is still kernels. And the person called two cell phones and when the phone ring the kernels pop as if they was in the microwave. That shows how strong cell phone radiation is.

On this radio show call"Leonard Lopate interview Dr Devra Davis" This radio show discusses the truth of both sides of cell phone radiation being dangerous and not dangerous. About cell phone radiation being unsafe is basically saying how to protect our self from cell phone radiation to to damage. For an example, Dr.Devra Davis explained how by using speakers and a head piece is safer from the cell phone radiation because the cell phone isn't directly near the head. She also admits that cell phone radiation isn't directly the cause of brain cancer. So that proves that cell phone isn't as bad. It depends how people want to use cell phones. She stated if they be safe and use protection from the radiation then everything should be okay. Having the cell phone directly beside the head multiple times can cause damage tissues. Only multiple times its not something that happens if an person puts the cell phone towards they side of their head that one time. It isn't that dangerous but it can cause damage.

There is another source that I've found stating and explaining the real consequences about what cell phone radiation can do. This source is call"Help Reduce Your Brain's Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation" "reduce your brain exposure" expalins and show step by step the consequences on what cell phone radiation really does. The article states " Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20% and 60% of the radiation emitted by your cell phone is transferred into your head. The radiation actually penetrates the area around your head and is absorbed, with some radiation reaching an inch, to an inch and a half, into your brain.". This statement shows that it's more deeper than a video or other people opinions but science proves the real damage that can be done by cell phone radiation

In another article called "tips on protection from cell phone radiation" it shows how being responsible is the only protection from cell phone radiation. The article states "I follow all of the recent studies on cell phones, warily, as I continue to use mine. They don't seem like a good idea, health wise. I use a headset to reduce my exposure to electromagnetic radiation, but they break all the time and, when they don't, I often misplace them. I try to text and email more than I talk, in another effort to reduce exposure to my head." This demonstrates how it's up to people whether or not they want to protect their health from cell phone radiation. It's only up to the person if they want to use speakerphone or email and text more then they talk to decrease brain exposure. It's really only up to the person whether they want to take cell phone radiation seriously enough to look up tips to protect their health from cell phone radiation.

By reading different articles about cell phone radiation and seeing videos I learned that cell phone radiation can be bad but it's up to people to decide whether they want to protect their health. Everyone uses cell phones now and days most people need it in they daily life. So it isn't our fault or anyone else about what cell phone radiation does but it is our fault if we fail to take it seriously and years go by and damage had been done. In my personally opinion cell phone radiation is dangerous and since I read article and scientific facts I choose to be more aware bout how I use cell phones and what I have to do to protect my self from cell phone radiation.
