The Secret Dangers of Cell Phone Usage

Over sixty thousand cell phones are sold out each day in America only. According to

Adams et al., (2014), over one billion people own a cell phone or at least
occasionally have

access to one. The use of cell phones has spread throughout the world within the
last fifteen

years, and its several positive impacts in the personal lifestyle have blinded most
of its

hazardous nature. Hardly do most cell phone users noticed the dangers they subject

themselves when they engage with their cell phones for long hours. Drago (2015)
states that

the society does not have a clue of the radiations and social conflicts and issues
that arise as a

result of the existence of the mobile phone. Despite making people's lives more
comfortable
and fun, cell phone usage has unperceived health complications and social problem
that

continuously affect the daily lives of its users and those around them.

Continuous use of cell phones for several years and long duration daily
deteriorates

the health of its users. According to Adams et al., (2014), cell phones generate

electromagnetic radiations (EMR) that are harmful to those exposed to it over a

long

duration. EMRs have been associated with health complications such as palpitations,
vertigo

and reduced libido. Furthermore, the radiation cause other illness such as skin
cancer,

anxiety, irritability and headaches. EMR from cell phones has been linked to the
increasing

reports of genetic disorders observed in infants born from mothers who are highly
addicted to

their cell phones. Zhao, Freeman & Li (2016) further states that children make up
the most

substantial number of victims of cell usage as their body immunity is still

developing. Also,

children tend to have thinner and smaller skull that easily allow the penetration
of the radio

waves from the cell phones into their body thus affecting their body organs.
Despite its

paramount role in improving healthcare delivery, improper usage of cell phones

secretly

undermines the well-being of those exposed to it over long durations.
