Cell phones affecting memory Posted Date: 08 Dec 2008     Resource Type: Articles/Knowledge Sharing     Category: Health Author: Radi Member Level: Gold     Rating: Points: 30 (Rs 15)
We all are aware that radiations from the cell phones affect human health. A research has been carried out in at Division of Neurosurgery, Lund University in Sweden. The research was carried out in rats by exposing them to the radiation from cell phones for about two hours a week for one year. At the end of the year it was found that the rats which were exposed to radiation found to have much poorer memory test results than that are not exposed to them. It is believed in the research that these radiations affect the blood brain barrier. The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a structure in the brain that prevents harmful substances entering into the brain and causing serious effects. It prevents brain from infection and that is why, brain affected diseases are difficult to treat since particular antibiotics cannot pass through the blood brain barrier. At the same time, these blood brain barrier allow metabolic substances and circulation that are necessary. The radiation from cell phones affects the blood brain barrier and cause serious changes in nervous system and it is found to affect memory. Cell phones emit radiation while transferring signals and this eventually cause harm to us. Mobile phones have become an important aspect of our life. It is in the stage that we cannot avoid using cell phones but still once it affects our health, it should be limited to the extent. The most reason for this state of harm in using cell phones is that most use cell phones very close to the head and such as they are much prone to radiation. It is also believed that using mobile phones also cause brain tumour. Things to be done to while using cell phone • Limit the time of using cell phones rather than to sticking onto it for long time • Don’t use wireless, and unshielded equipments which cause much effects • It is better to use speakerphone than to keep the cell very close to ear that is to head leading to harms • The distance of head from cell phones should be at least greater than 20-25cm. • It is very common to see children with cell phones at most of the time. They should be avoided from using cell phones • It should be better to get good quality of radiation less phones • It will be well better if we use land line and use cell phones for unavoidable conditions.

This are very useful information indeed. I know that several studies have not linked yet the disadvantages or side effect os using the cellphone. But I do beleive that they do have side effects and they will certainly appear later on. Perhaps as of now it is just to early to tell. It is better to be prepared in advance. The best wat would be is prevention. You have pointed out very important things that will certainly help mobile phone users. I do hope you can post more important health tips and concepts. Do keep it up!

Hi Radhi, Thank you very much for your valuable infomation.All the points that you added were correct and they will be helpful to all. I am having one more point to add " Never keep the cell phones beside your right ear as it will affect the brain more fastly." Use some materials that can reduce the radiations and it is better to use head phones of good quality . Kannan RK, Member , ISC

It is quite an informative article. It has made me realize that the use of mobile phones should be restricted to a very low rate ie as far as possible we shuld start using the landline connection. Regards, Rajeev

Yes,this article very informative. But one thing i what to state. So,using mobile radiation affects human brain as well heart. Without heart human cannot live, similarily, nowadays it is impossible a human without mobile. Better keep mobile in pant pocket. While attending or making call speak wit left ear.
