44 points some people worry that the increasing number of cell phones will cause cancer because of the energy of the radio waves they emit. cell phones are a new technology that only recently became widely used. and because cancer takes years to develop, the amount of risk is not yet known. research this issue, and summarize what’s known so far. in your summary, include information about the energy of radio waves. be sure to only use credible sources. based on what you learned from your research, do you think people should limit their cell phone use? why or why not?

There are three main reasons why people are concerned that cell phones (also known as “mobile” or “wireless” telephones) might have the potential to cause certain types of cancer or other health problems:

Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation, from their antennas. Tissues nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy.

The number of cell phone users has increased rapidly. As of December 2014, there were more than 327.5 million cell phone subscribers in the United States, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. This is a nearly threefold increase from the 110 million users in 2000. Globally, the number of subscriptions is estimated by the International Telecommunications Union to be 5 billion.

Over time, the number of cell phone calls per day, the length of each call, and the amount of time people use cell phones have increased. However, improvements in cell phone technology have resulted in devices that have lower power outputs than earlier models.

When we use our cell phones they transmit radio waves which is also known as a form of non ionizing radition from the antennas. The tissues that are closest to the antenna absorb it. Over the years go by there are more and more cell phones in use. Over time the phone calls have been longer, and thescreen time has also been greatly increased.
