Prevent the harmful effect of Mobile Radiation

Have you wondered how much amount of radiation you are being exposed to on a daily basis? Never thought about that you could be exposed to radiation too? Well, devices like television, radio, mobile phones etc. emit radiation which is the emission of electromagnetic energy.

Ionizing radiation has many constructive uses like it is used in medicine, research, manufacturing, construction etc. Mobile phones and laptops have ionizing radiation wherein the atomic nucleus of an unstable atom decays to release ionizing particles. Such particles when come into contact with organic material such as human tissue, will cause damage if the radiation levels are high enough.

​

It is imperative to take proper preventive measures against the undesired exposure that can cause some serious hazards to human body. Here are some of the harmful effects that mobile radiation can cause:

• Brain cells won’t be damaged directly unless the exposure is too high. High level of exposure to radiations can cause memory loss.
• Exposure to radiations can cause loss of hair quickly and in lumps.
• Thyroid gland is susceptible to radioactive iodine. Sufficient amount of radioactive iodine is capable of destroying all parts of thyroid gland. One can reduce the effect of this exposure by taking potassium iodide.
• Blood’s lymphocyte count reduces even when a person is exposed in a smaller measure, thus leaving the victim prone to infection.
• Intense exposure to radioactive radiations can do immediate damage to blood vessels and may cause heart failure leading to instant death.
• Damage to the intestinal tract by radiation may cause nausea, bloody vomiting and diarrhea.
• Reproductive tract can be damaged even when exposed to low levels of radiation as reproductive tract cells divide rapidly. The person can become sterile as a long term effect.

Today’s generation is continuously glued to their smartphones quite oblivious of the harmful effects of the radiations being emitted by the mobile phones. It is important to make the children and young adults aware of the harmful effects of the radiations. Also it is advisable to avoid prolonged use of cell phones or buy an anti-radiation chip and stick it to your handsets.
