Over the past decade, the use of mobile phones has increased significantly. However, with every technological development comes some element of health concern, and cell phones are no exception. Recently, various studies have highlighted the negative effects of cell phone exposure on human health, and concerns about possible hazards related to cell phone exposure have been growing. This is a com...

CONTEXT Our country India is having 919.17 million cell phone users; currently this is the second largest number of cell phone users after China. The youth spend a good amount on talk time and purchasing cell phone handsets. Discarding of cell phone is another issue which needs attention because of generation of e-wastes, which leads to environmental pollution. AIM To assess economic burden a...

IMPORTANCE A thorough understanding of why we hold a cell phone to a particular ear may be of importance when studying the impact of cell phone safety. OBJECTIVE To determine if there is an obvious association between sidedness of cell phone use and auditory hemispheric dominance (AHD) or language hemispheric dominance (LHD). It is known that 70% to 95% of the population are right-handed, and...

This paper analyzes the feasibility of using cellular telephone location data to determine the geographic extent of trucks from intermodal facilities. The feasibility analysis includes three aspects: location technology, cell phone penetration, and truck tracking methodology. As the results shows, the cell phone location technology is able to provide accurate location data. It can provide updat...

background: using cellular phone has rapidly increased all over the world. also, the concern on the possible health hazards of electromagnetic fields (emf) induced from cell phones to reproduction has been growing in many countries. the aim of this study was to assess the consequences and effects of exposure to the cell phone radiation on the quality and survival rates of preimplantation embryo...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the relationship of late-night cell phone use with sleep duration and quality in a sample of Iranian adolescents. METHODS The study population consisted of 2400 adolescents, aged 12-18 years, living in Isfahan, Iran. Age, body mass index, sleep duration, cell phone use after 9p.m., and physical activity were documented. For sleep assessment, the Pittsburgh ...

We examine the relationship between cell phone use and traffi c accidents using a unique measure of cell phone coverage. The distance from an antenna tower accurately predicts whether or not an area has cellular coverage according to provider coverage maps in 2016. Cellular coverage between 2001 and 2011 is proxied for using the the distance between a road segment and the nearest antenna tower....

OBJECTIVES As of October 2009, seven U.S. states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) ban driving while talking on a handheld cell phone. Long-term effects on driver handheld phone use in D.C., New York State, and Connecticut were examined. METHODS The percentage of drivers talking on handheld cell phones was measured over time with daytime observation surveys in the jurisdictions with bans an...

Our research examined the effects of hands-free cell phone conversations on simulated driving. We found that driving performance of both younger and older adults was influenced by cell phone conversations. Compared with single-task (i.e., driving-only) conditions, when drivers used cell phones their reactions were 18% slower, their following distance was 12% greater, and they took 17% longer to...

alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia and a progressive neurode-generative disease, occurs when the nerve cells in the brain die. although there are medications that can help delay the development of alzheimer’s disease, there is cur-rently no cure for this disease. exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation may cause adverse health effects such as cancer. looking at the ot...
