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?
just give me your opinion
Well, what's your opinion on it ?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of radiofrequency radiation. There are two types of electromagnetic radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing. The wavelength and frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that reach a reference point per second. The energy of the radiation is measured by its frequency. There is no consistent evidence that non- ionizing radiation increases cancer risk in humans. The only biological effect of radiofrequency radiation in humans that has been consistently recognized is heating. The area of the body where a cell phone or other device is held heats up as a result of radiofrequency exposure from cell phone use. The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is used to determine its energy. Information used to help me: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet
