    The document discusses radio frequency (RF) waves used in mobile phone communication and their potential health effects. It describes two types of cellular phones - mobile phones which have antennas mounted on the outside of the phone, and cellular phones which emit RF waves closer to the body. Long-term heavy use of mobile phones may increase cancer risks due to RF wave absorption. While short-term effects include temperature rises in the brain, long-term effects like cancer are difficult to detect due to phones only being widely used since the 1990s. Mobile phones allow convenient global communication but their RF waves pose health concerns.

    Radio frequency waves


    During this essay you will read about an investigation of radio
    frequency waves during communication through mobile phones.

    There are 4 types of wireless phones, which are: cordless,


    transportable, mobile and portable phones but I will only be
    explaining about two types cellular phones, because cordless and
    transportable are very similar to transportable. Mobile phones
    because they are our main focus. [ CITATION The18 \l 1033 ]

    Mobile phones:

    Also known as “car phones" they have an antenna mounted on


    the outside of it. It is the phone's main source of radio frequency.
    The metal surfaces of a car make a shield between the mobile
    phone user and the energy connected with the antenna. The
    distance between the phone user and the antenna also provides
    protection against radiofrequency waves. This protection helps
    prevent cancer to many humans. [ CITATION The18 \l 1033 ]

    Cellular phones:

    They are a very important source of radio frequency mainly for


    those who use cellular phones. It matters on the amount of cells
    that are in the specific area in your body and that are being
    exposed to the radio frequency waves. The less time and more
    distance that the phone is close to your body the better. [ CITATION
    The18 \l 1033 ]

    Health concerns:
    Health concerns have been raised a lot about cell phone use. It
    may cause a risk for pacemaker wearers. People with pacemakers
    may want to take precautions to help prevent their cell phones
    cause a problem. They can prevent it by not putting any mobile
    phones in their shirt pocket which is close to the pacemaker.

    Many Studies have shown that people who use cell phones while
    driving are most likely to be in a car accident. This is because it
    can interfere with the brain or people are just not focusing on the
    road. [ CITATION The18 \l 1033 ]

    Short-term effects

    The energy from the radiofrequency waves are absorbed by your


    skin and into other tissues. As a result this causes temperature to
    rise in the brain or any other organs of the body. [ CITATION Wor20 \l
    1033 ]

    Long-term effects

    This affects our brain because of our mobile phone usage.


    However, cancer is not easily detectable because of the
    interactions that led to the tumor (mass of the tissue), this is
    because phones were not used much until the early 1990s.
    [ CITATION Wor20 \l 1033 ]

    Communication

    Mobile phones job, is to allow you to talk to other people when you
    are anywhere in the world. You can place and receive calls and
    messages by getting someone's phone number and you can then
    easily contact them. This also helps to save their number and uses
    less paper for the address book. The fact that cell phones help
    connect to people in other countries can help family and friends e
    who live far from each stay in touch. [ CITATION Tim20 \l 1033 ] and
    [ CITATION Kas20 \l 1033 ]

    In conclusion the effects of radio frequency waves during communication


    through mobile phones are very strong waves. As a result many people
    can get cancer. The real question is are mobile phones and the RF
    waves killing you?
