First, the debate
between mobile phone radiation and brain tumors.
At present, there are different opinions about whether mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumors. On the one hand, many studies have shown that mobile phone radiation belongs to non-ionizing radiation, which has very low energy and can only vibrate particles in matter, not to the extent of damaging cells. According to clinical statistics, there is no statistical data to prove that mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumors, and there is no definite evidence to prove that normal use of mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumors.
Cell phones,
for example, have been widely used for more than a decade, and there have been no major outbreaks of brain tumors during that time. At the same time, the increasing incidence of brain tumors in China in the past 30 years may be due to the improvement of public health awareness and health care level, and the continuous progress of examination methods, rather than mobile phone radiation. Medical advances have enabled more asymptomatic patients with brain tumors to be diagnosed early, creating the illusion that the incidence of brain tumors has increased after the popularity of mobile phones.
On the other hand, although there is no clear scientific evidence to prove that mobile phone radiation is directly related to brain tumors, there are many possibilities for the pathogenic factors of brain tumors. Relevant studies have shown that brain tumors may be related to ionizing radiation, viral infection, carcinogenic compounds, immune function of patients, hormone levels and other factors. Long-term exposure to ionizing radiation, such as high-energy particles such as high-frequency ultraviolet rays and X-rays, may increase the risk of glioma. In addition, genetic factors, chemical factors and oncogenic viruses may also induce brain tumors.
In short, although there is no clear scientific evidence to prove that mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumors, we can not completely ignore the potential health risks of mobile phone radiation. In daily life, we should use mobile phones reasonably to minimize the possible adverse effects of long-term use of mobile phones on the body.
Second, the impact
of mobile phones on health at the bedside
(1) Sleep quality is disturbed
Mobile phones on the bedside may affect sleep quality due to electromagnetic radiation and other factors. Mobile phones also transmit radio waves to base stations in standby mode, which are more or less absorbed by the human body and may have some impact on the nervous system of the human body. Studies have shown that when sleeping with a mobile phone on the pillow, mobile phone radiation mainly affects the head, which can cause certain functional disorders to the central nervous system, resulting in reduced sleep time and shorter deep sleep. For example, some people may wake up during the night to check their mobile phone because of its presence, causing sleep disruption.
(2) Potential risk
of vision
Lying down and playing with mobile phones has a great potential risk to eyesight. When lying down and playing with the mobile phone, the distance between the eyes and the mobile phone is often close, and the light may be weak, the height of the mobile phone will not be consistent with the eyes, it is easy to produce visual fatigue. If young people, visual fatigue may be combined with dry eye, resulting in dry eyes, soreness and pain, which will aggravate myopia in the long run. For example, Qin, a 12-year-old girl, lies on her side and brushes her mobile phone for a long time, with a myopia difference of more than 1000 degrees. When people lie down, especially when they lie on their side and look at mobile phones, the degree of use of the left and right eyes is different. The overused eye will become more and more tired and produce myopia, while the other eye is not so strong because of the degree of use, the damage is not so obvious, resulting in inconsistent degrees of both eyes.
(3) Causes
of difficulty in falling asleep Playing with mobile phones and blue light before
going to bed has a greater impact on sleep, which can easily cause insomnia and other conditions. The blue light emitted by mobile phone screens may affect the body’s biological clock and make it difficult to fall asleep. If you play with your mobile phone for a long time before going to bed, blue light will inhibit the secretion of melatonin in your body, making it difficult for you to fall asleep. For example, playing with mobile phones in a dark environment will not only deprive the eyes of adequate rest and cause symptoms of visual fatigue, but also seriously affect the quality of sleep.
(IV) Other potential hazards
Mobile phones on the bedside may have an impact on the brain, endocrine and so on. Mobile phone radiation may cause some harm to the brain, and long-term exposure may affect brain function. At the same time, artificial blue light such as mobile phones may cause harm to human skin. Long-term use of mobile phones and exposure to blue light before going to bed may lead to a decline in sleep quality, resulting in skin dullness, decreased elasticity and other hazards. In addition, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that mobile phone bedside can cause tumors and osteoporosis, there is also a view that mobile phone radiation has a certain link with brain tumors, which is classified as a 2B carcinogen, but there is not enough evidence to explain the risk. For example, when the mobile phone is in standby state at night, the amount of radiation is less than 0.3 volts per meter, which is generally believed not to induce tumors. But we can not completely ignore this potential risk.
