Are Moblie Phones Dangerous

With practically everyone owning a mobile phone and spending a considerable amount of time on them each day, it is wise to ask the question: Are mobile phones dangerous to our health? While there are no conclusive answers at the moment, there are conflicting studies. Some show that mobile phones are safe and others show that mobile phones may pose a health risk.

Mobile phones may be considered potentially dangerous in a few ways. First, they are a device that both sends and receives high-frequency radio waves. Second, these devices have batteries in them that may be unstable in extreme heat or in certain circumstances where a battery or other part is defective. It should be noted that these occurrences are extremely rare.

The jury is still out on whether or not mobile phones are actually dangerous to our health. While the short term risks are extremely low or non existent, the fact that mobile phones have been used by millions in the last decade, the moderate length and long term risks are still unproven. Here are some arguments for and against mobile phone safety according to facts that the BBC printed in November 2004.
