Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?

In 5-6 sentences in length using information from the article or outside sources to support your response.

In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer listed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) as a “possible human carcinogen.” Because cell phones emit radiofrequency EMF and there are 5.5 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide, the question of whether radiofrequency fields cause cancer is a pressing one.

The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from low-energy static electric and magnetic fields to high-energy ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. At the high end of the spectrum, the radiation has enough energy to displace electrons from atoms—creating free radicals, or “ionized particles,” that can disrupt DNA and cell function. Lower frequencies of radiation (“non-ionizing” radiation) carry less energy. Visible light, infrared radiation, radiofrequency radiation, and microwaves are all types of non-ionizing radiation.

The safety of cell phones is first a question of whether non-ionizing radiation can have harmful effects on humans. You do not need to look to research to prove to yourself that non-ionizing radiation can have an effect on the human body. Simply turn on your microwave for two minutes to heat your dinner and you prove that focused, high-level exposure to microwave radiation causes a lot of heat. Cell phones’ radiofrequency radiation has slightly less energy and substantially less intensity than microwaves, and the further the phone is from your body, the lower the exposure.

So the next question is whether long-term exposure to radiation at the radiofrequency level—such as that emitted from cell phones—can cause problems. This is where the data get tricky. Many studies have investigated whether there is a link between cell phones and human health. None have shown conclusive evidence of a strong link, and most have not even been able to show a connection. Animal studies and laboratory studies have not been able to confirm a carcinogenic effect. However, a few studies have shown a possible association between some brain tumors and high cell phone use and between childhood leukemia and radiofrequency-radiation exposure in the home. Current conclusions are that radiofrequency-radiation exposure is clearly not a strong carcinogen because, if it were, at least some of the studies would have found that. However, because of the inconsistencies, it remains possible that radiofrequency radiation may be a weak carcinogen. More data are needed before we can be absolutely certain that it is not and that long-term exposure is not harmful.

From computers to cell phones to remote controls, all populations are now exposed to increasing amounts of non-ionizing radiation, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances. In addition, the length of time people are exposed is increasing as children are starting to use cell phones at younger and younger ages.

1:Do you talk for long hours on your cell phone or keep it in your pocket throughout the day? Can this increase your risk of cancer?

2:Given that exposure decreases the further you are from your cell phone, would you change how often or how you use your phone based on the available data? Why or Why not

3:Would you allow your children (or future children) to use cell phones? At what age?

4: After reading this article and consulting other sources, do you believe there is a link between cell phone use and cancer? Why or why not? (Be sure to provide support for your opinion)

After the birth of Martha’s second child, she was informed that her newborn had jaundice. The doctor suspects Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN). What is jaundice and how could the baby have developed it? Describe both HDN and ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn i.e. what causes them to occur and how do they present? Explain TWO differences and TWO similarities between the two diseases and then, discuss prevention and treatments available for the two diseases.

Reminder: Show critical thinking. Support your opinions with scientific evidence (in initial response and response to your classmates). Provide citations for the information you discuss.

The purpose of this discussion activity is two-fold. The first is to give you (and me) a chance to get to know one another, and the second is to share our ideas around the social determinants of health and how this may impact on our consumers of healthcare.

You are required to post a response to the following questions:

1. What is your name?

2. What is your favourite hobby/past time?

3. From your work this week list one of the key social determinants of health

4. For that social determinant of health describe how this may impact on a consumers health and wellbeing.

Please try to keep your responses to a max of 300 words. This will help keep you focused and concise and won't create hours of reading for your peers. As part of this task you must use at least 3 references to support your information and reference using APA 7th Edition.
