How Do Cell Phones affect humans with their level of electromagnetic radiation? When you’re about 10, all you want is a cell phone. You think about all the positives about that gadget, and how much better it will make your life. Sure, a cell phone is fun, and useful, but it is also damaging. Young children with a possession of a cell phone can develop serious damage to their brain. A study by the National Institutes of Health in the US reports that mobile phones could have an effect on the human brain. They reported higher sugar use in the brain, a clue of increased activity after 50 minutes on the phone. Professionals from the United Kingdom stated that there was no health at risk. There was an experiment performed on a Danish phone user, proving that there was no line between phone use and cancer. Their brains were scanned to sense change in glucose use, which was increased by 7% in sections of the brain, where one normally places his or her antenna.

 How Do Cell Phones use electromagnetic radiation? Radio frequencies, forms of electromagnetic energy placed on the electromagnetic spectrum in the middle of FM radio waves and microwaves, radar, and satellite station, all operate cell phones. Every cellular phone operates on a system of “cells”. Each cell has its own base station. This base station sends and receives radio waves. If a call is made from a cellular phone, it sends a signal from the antenna to the base station of that cell’s antenna. After this, the base station sends the phone a radio frequency channel (RF). As soon as the RF has been sent, radio signals are received and transmitted, letting voice information to be sent on between the cell phone and the base. The base stations transfers the call to a changing center, where the call can be sent to a local telephone, or just another cellular phone. Sometimes, a call can be failed because of the amount of cellular phone signals that are trying to be sent to its base station. o Cell Phones Work - Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Your Health." //EHSO - Environmental Health & Safety Online - Free EHS Guidance Contents Page//.
