Question

Some people worry that the increasing number of cell phones will cause cancer because of the energy of the radio waves they emit. Cell phones are a new technology that only recently became widely used. And because cancer takes years to develop, the amount of risk is not yet known.

Research this issue, and summarize what’s known so far. In your summary, include information about the energy of radio waves. Be sure to only use credible sources. Based on what you learned from your research, do you think people should limit their cell phone use? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes.

Explanation: Because if it causes disease or problem then why continue to do it?

Answer 2

Answer: Well, from what my research is saying. cell phones emit low levels of non-ionizing radiation when in use. It can also referred to as radio frequency (RF) energy. And as stated by the National Cancer Institute, "there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk in humans. So, it has not been proven weather or not you could get a tumor or cancer from the energy waves.

Some information about a radio wave is that we can have an energy of around 4 x 10-10 eV.

Okay so, I do think people should limit their cell phone use for other reasons. For one, Phones can be overly addicting, I do speak from experience. Phones can also take up way to much of your time is you're just scrolling around on them.

Explanation: So at least that's what I would say. Hope this helped! :)
