Effect of Mobile Phone Radiation on Human Brain

New technologies are evolving day to day life to facilitate human being. Mobile communication is currently the fastest growing communication system in the telecommunication industry. Due to the increased number of users using the mobile phone, the concern is now focused towards electromagnetic radiations emitted by the mobile phones itself. Electromagnetic radiation can be classified into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is the radiation with high energy which is able to remove tight bonds between electrons and atoms resulting in tissue damage while non-ionizing radiation is the radiation that has enough energy to vibrate the atoms and molecule but do not remove the electrons in the molecule [2]. This radiation mainly occurs at low frequency range. Mobile phone is designed with low power transceiver to transmit voice and data to base station is located at few kilometres. These radiations cause problems like headaches, severe pain in ear, blurring of vision, memory loss, itching, burning sensations, feeling asleep, hypersensitivity exhaustion [1] have been observed when using mobile phone. Researchers have found that these symptoms are more common in people with higher exposure to radiation of mobile phone (Figure 1).
