The do's and don'ts of mobile phone use:- DO'S DON'TS Only use your phone when necessary Don't buy a phone with an internal aerial, you want the aerial as far away from your head as possible Keep the calls short Don't use your phone when the reception is weak, the phone needs more power to communicate with the base station, and so the radiowave emissions are higher Carry the phone away from your body when it is on standby Don't buy a phone with a high 'SAR' value, this means that it emits more radiation Buy a phone with a long 'talk time'. It is more efficient, with less powerful emissions Don't buy protective gadgets unless they have been independently tested
Are mobile phones dangerous?!!

YES
NO
Radio waves given off by mobiles can heat up body tissue, having damaging effects
Radio waves are not powerful enough to cause heat damage to the body
Magnetic fields created by mobile phones can affect the way that your body cells work
The magnetic fields are incredibly small, and so unlikely to affect cells in our body
People who make long mobile phone calls sometimes complain of fatigue, headaches, and loss of concentration
The same results have never been reported in laboratory conditions and may be due to other factors in modern lifestyles
Mobile phone users are 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer in areas of the brain adjacent to their phone ears
Researchers admit it's unclear this increase is linked to using mobiles
The International Agency for Research on Cancer found a link between childhood cancer and power lines. Like mobile phones, power lines also emit radiation
The radiation produced by powerlines is a different kind of radiation, with much more energy than that coming from mobile phones
Radio frequency waves similar to those in mobile phones altered the gene expression in nematode worms
Worms are not humans, there is no guarantee that our brain cells will behave in the same way

I use the mobile phone a LOT. Even worst I use it as my alarm and stick it under my pillow while asleep! Ive always known how bad they are, but I always tend to ingnore these facts! Thanks for the tips.
