DEGREE OF HARMFUL INFLUENCE OF CELLULAR COMMUNICATION ON PEOPLE’S HEALTH

Urgency: Million of people use cell phones daily. Nowadays cellular phones became very important attribute not just for modern young people who are involved in business or politics, but also for people who are far from innovative technologies: old people, housewives.

Research objective: Studying of a problem and development of specific proposals on prevention of harmful influence of cellular communication.

175 students of 3rd, 4th and 5th courses of the Medical University participated in the questionnaire.

n Sex....................................................................................................................

n Age....................................................................................................................

n Place of constant living...................................................................................

n Average duration of conversations daily..........................................................

n Average number of conversations daily............................................................

n Model of the cellular phone…………………………………………………………

n Side effects that occurred when you started to use a cell phone......................

The types mobile phones using by students (in %)

- econom class – 64 %;

- old model – 15 %;

- with 2 sim – 11%;

- biasness class – 10%.

Structure of the negative action the mobile phone (in %)

- cellular telephone heating – 39, 8%;

- skin heating behind an ear – 25, 3%;

- headaches dizziness fast fatigue – 16, 9%;

- drowsiness – 7, 8%;

- dependence on telephone conversations – 7, 0%;

- deterioration of concentration of attention – 3, 2%.

Analyzing the data that we retrieved from the sociological examination, we have come to the conclusions that:

· students who talk on mobile telephones four and more times a day, twice more complained of headaches, than those who make less than two calls daily;

· students who use cellular phones not every day, or who make not more than two calls a day do not experience any side effects.

Results of clinical researches have shown that long influence of an electromagnetic field can lead:

· To development of the radio wave illness;

· To change of a functional condition of nervous system;

· Weaknesses, irritability, to fast fatigue, memory easing, dream infringement;

· From outside warmly - vascular system heartaches, instability of pulse are shown a hypotonic;

· To occurrence of feeling of internal intensity, fussiness;

· To attention and memory infringement,

· To occurrence of mental frustration at people, within 5 years and more regularly exposed to influence of an electromagnetic field by the intensity close to maximum permissible;

· To infringement of sexual function

Recommendations for protection of health from harmful influence

of a mobile communication:

· To use the Bluetooth technology (it several times reduces electromagnetic radiations of a mobile phone);

· The contact less maintenance of the device (the mobile phone should be carried in a bag, instead of on a body);

· To use the external aerial (for example in the car) – it will reduce capacity of the transmitter at the expense of signal strengthening, influence on an organism becomes minimum;

· To use perfect accessories;

· When you are home or at work it is necessary to use usual wire phones;

· Not to allow children under 10 years of age to use mobile phones;

· To limit the use of a mobile phone during pregnancy;

· At purchase it is necessary to learn about the power of the phone and the level of its radiation SAR (Specific Absorption Rates) and to choose phone with the least value of these sizes;

· It is necessary to avoid use of accident protection devices in the form of any plates since it is more often a fake one;

· To the people using cardio accelerator, it is necessary to keep the mobile phone at distance not less than 15 cm from it;

· Some cellular telephones can influence work of hearing aids

· it is necessary to establish the legislative and standard-legal base, in particular, the control over the companies which are letting out mobile phones;

· Attraction of experts of adjoining trades (for example, physicians, radio designers and ecologists) for more exact scientific support of the degree of harmful influence of a cellular telephone and to find ways of its reduction.

Conclusion: It is impossible to stop progress. The Mobile communication is very convenient, and, in certain cases, extremely necessary, but unreasonable usage of it can appear to be unsafe. The information presented in the given work, should not frighten anybody. It should only force us to think about the problem of negative influence from a mobile phone and to find a way of its prompt decision and to start use this convenient communication device reasonably.
