Can cell phone radiation be carcinogenic? A new study rekindles the debate

mobile phones can be used “Undesirable effects” for humans due to excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation, including both male and female fertility as well as carcinogenic risksAccording to the warnings of the Spanish Society for Radiological Protection (SEPR).

Ecologists at Work, in a statement, reiterated the latest studies prepared by the European Parliament’s Research Service (EPRS) and collected and put forward by SEPR, the Spanish division of the International Union for Radiological Protection. update scientific evidence that the radiation emitted by these devices is “possibly carcinogenic.”

These new analyzes show that electromagnetic radiation “clearly affects male and possibly female fertility” and can also cause “adverse effects on the development of embryos, fetuses and newborns”.

The SEPR advice cautions that mobile phones “may have undesirable effects on some people due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation.” accepts this Current regulatory exposure limits do not address “prolonged or repeated exposure to low thermal intensities” for indications of potentially harmful effects on sensitive or vulnerable persons.

Therefore, he recommends a number of personal precautions to reduce this contamination, including prioritizing text and voice messages, as well as keeping the phone as close to the head as possible and using more loudspeakers or hands-free.

Recommended Precautions

More It is recommended to avoid direct contact of the mobile phone with the body, without carrying it on a belt or in a pocket.divert calls to landline, avoid using while traveling and in situations with poor coverage such as elevators, stop and disconnect at least an hour before bedtime, or put away during sleep.

Another useful precaution is to put the device in airplane mode when you are not on a call, and if you are going to send or play a large file – for example a movie to watch on your phone – it is better to download it. watch in airplane mode before and after.

SEPR draws attention to vulnerable people such as minors and reminds that government agencies and international organizations recommend it. Avoid exposing children to both mobile phones and other devices that emit electromagnetic radiation.

One of his suggestions “Delay children’s cell phone use until age 14 if possible.”

Other measures recommended by government agencies, such as the 17 Iberian-American scientific societies for radiological protection or the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, are to prioritize cable connection by avoiding Wi-Fi, especially in the field of education. “.

Finally, the SERP warns “The effects of millimeter waves used in 5G phones are still not adequately studied” and thus the EPRS has “already requested a moratorium in 2021” on one particular study.

Ecoologistas en Acción reminded that the moratorium proposal is included in the STOP 5G European Citizens Initiative and municipal resolutions similar to the one recently approved by Madrid Valdemorillo City Council.

This environmental organization has asked health and education administrations to heed these warnings and bet on “the self-regulated use of digital technology that is sober, biocompatible, downsizing, anti-consumer, critical and ethical.”
