Are mobiles harmful? This question has been hounding every mobile user since a decade, and even after much research and scientific findings, no one seems to have a definite answer to that question.
Even though there are no conclusive proofs, Governments across the world including India are taking stringent measures by bringing down the permissible limits of radiation caused by Mobile phones and towers. Recently, some local city bodies have even banned mobile towers near Schools and Hospitals.
Take a look at this Infographic created by folks at Recommercehub, which lists down contradictory conclusions by Industry leading bodies on health hazards caused due to mobile phones.
Finally, it is up to you to decide who do you want to believe… Personally, I think if you talk for hours every day on your mobile phone and keep doing it for a very long period of time (15 – 20 years), it may effect your health negatively. However, if you are a normal user, it should cause you no harm (again, this is my personal feeling…you draw your own conclusions)
We haven’t yet had people using mobile phones over a lifetime.
The last time I checked, researchers had decided to keep a watch on people using phones right from their infancy and up to old age. They might have to wait for several decades for something conclusive.
