  • Essay / Electromagnetic Radiation Cell Phones - 2104

    A cell phone is a cellular device that can receive and make calls via a radio link while being in any part of the world, provided there is a cellular network.• EME is also electromagnetic energy. known as electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that we are surrounded by on a daily basis, emitted by natural sources like the sun, earth and the ionosphere. It is also emitted from unnatural sources such as mobile phone base stations, broadcast towers, radar equipment, remote controls, and electrical and electronic equipment. Electromagnetic radiation travels in waves. There are many types of electromagnetic waves that differ in wavelength. These electromagnetic radiations form the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Frequency is the number of waves propagating per second. Electromagnetic waves are produced by the movement of electrically charged particles (ions), which are atoms that gain or lose particles. These waves travel through air, empty space, and other substances. This radiation emitted by radioactive materials such as x-ray machines, nuclear reactions, and ultraviolet rays are all examples of ionizing radiation. This energy drives electrons out of the molecules they interact with, creating ions. Radio frequency radiation is at the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum, this energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Some of the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun are considered ionizing radiation and can harm humans. Ultraviolet rays are important to humans because they help get vitamin D into the body, but too much can cause sunburn and, in many cases, skin cancer. So the skin tissue is damaged, so the DNA...... middle of paper ......w that cell phones do not cause cancer. Scientists need to do more research to find out if cell phones are actually dangerous. In most cancer and healthcare websites they prevent excessive use of mobile phones, for example, Cancer Research UK and the World Health Organization. Newspaper and magazine articles can be biased, but the researched newspaper and magazine articles cited above were. little biased information as most of them were healthcare websites. The Internet has been used to provide information on topics such as DME, RF energy, EMS and more. The websites I used to find general information about the Internet were from reputable organizations and websites. The Internet was also used to provide information on studies carried out, however, studies were drawn from cancer and research related websites (e.g. Cancer Research UK).).
