Cell phone disaster

Nowadays I strongly feel that the there should be some kind of control mechanism in using mobile phones. In recent times, the number of users of cell phones has increased considerably. In Bangalore, I think, everyone has at least one cell phone. Most of them always keep head phone and speak for a long time.

Don't they know the consequences of it? Or do they do it knowingly? I feel pain sometimes if I speak a bit longer. We all understand that it is meant for quick message. However, people have started using it for chatting. This would definitely collapse their system. As someone put it, "will destroy your brain".

Cell phones create radiation, no doubt about it. However, the radiation is very minimal.  World Health Organisation also has admitted it and issued guidelines for using cell phones. Low level radiation is deadly in long term. It does not harm you immediately. However, usage of cell phone for a longer time will definitely result in great physical damages. Radiation is invisible, non stinking, and untasted. Unlike radiation, low level radiation does not even create any feelings. Thats how all these radio active materials thrive on in the electronic gadgets in the civil life. Nuclear Power industry also thrives on the same survival strategy.

None will oppose low level radiation since no harm is seen anywhere. A cell phone user may get brain tumour after a span of 20-25 years, which cannot be linked directly to cell phone, though it could be the source. It is a tricky situation, of course. Nuclear lobby also behaves in the same manner. There are many reasons for cancer, tumour, not necessarily nuke radiation. Lack of nutrition, smoking, alcoholism, etc could be cited as reasons.

I am afraid of our country where a half of the population has become customers of cell phone might turn to be the abode of cancer patients. We will have to see only sufferings of the short living generations.

Is there any wayout to avoid such a disaster?
