Cell phones have become an indispensable part of our life. According to a survey, there are about 7 billion cell phone users in the world.
With the increased use of mobile phones, there have also been some concerns raised regarding the possible effects of cell phones on health. Cell phones use radio frequency (RF) radiation for communication.
If this RF radiation increases beyond a certain limit it increases the temperature of the body. There have been talks that the low level of RF radiation that the mobile phone emits can cause ailments like brain tumours or headaches.
