ABSTRACT
Mobile phones are part of our lives. However they can be potentially the most dangerous sources of Electromagnetic radiation. They may lead to DNA damage and cancer. Studies have showed evidence of increased alpha, beta and gamma frequencies; all three of which induce attentiveness, focus and anxiety upon usage of mobile phones. Other effects include induced hormonal imbalance, alteration in skin proteins, decreased sperm count and motility, distortion of blood RBC and platelet structure and cellular damage associated with muscle and nervous tissue. Since one may not always be certain to keep mobiles at a recommended distance (10cm), it is best to avoid or limit their usage.
