Strange really, because in English they are called mobile or cell phones, so the word \"hand\" does not appear in them at all.  Nevertheless, mobile phone is a nice term for a much-loved invention.<\/p>\n<p>But positive is not all there is to these little gizmos.  Ever since they became widely available on the market, there has been controversy surrounding mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The more mobile phones were sold, the more antennas were erected and the more people started to complain about the effects of the antennas.<\/p>\n<p>How safe are they?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Almost from the beginning, warnings were issued about the radiation exposure of mobile phones and antennas and horror stories of cancer and brain tumour triggers haunted the world.  However, this did not stop the spread of mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>The antennas not only send signals to set up a call network, but also emit radiation which, according to many people affected, makes them ill.  So the dilemma is great, we have become dependent on the use of mobile phones and no longer want to do without them.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is not always just mobile phones or their antennas that are to blame for such illnesses, because so-called electrosmog, which we also admittedly voluntarily surround ourselves with, can also have negative effects on our health.<\/p>\n<p>Radiation in any form can have an impact on well-being and is blamed as a trigger for headaches, migraines, general deterioration in well-being and fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>However, the measurable radiation from mobile phone antennas is said to play a not inconsiderable role in this and suddenly lead to symptoms of illness in the vicinity of residential buildings, i.e. at the same time as they are put into operation.<\/p>\n<p>There are various places where neighbours, residents and those affected are fighting back against the mobile phone operators and taking legal action against the antennas.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, this has already led to antennas having to be installed elsewhere, or at least made radiation-free by using better technology.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there is growing unease among the population, as more and more antennas are needed to make the mobile phone network ever denser and to be able to guarantee telephone calls at all times.<\/p>\n<p>But reliable studies that can confirm a point of view still do not seem to exist.  Time and again, studies are published that call into question the results of previously conducted studies, as they come to contradictory conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a wealth of literature on the subject, in which experts or those affected comment on the effects.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a big mistake to label the dangers as scaremongering, as some mobile phone operators would like to do.<\/p>\n<p>Experts recommend that when buying a new mobile phone, you should always make sure that it is labelled as low-radiation, a detail that is often forgotten by providers.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you should be aware that mobile phones transmit at maximum power when a call is established and the connection is poor, which means that the radiation exposure is considerably higher.  You should therefore only bring the mobile phone to your head once the call has been established and the mobile phone is working with normal power.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be on the safe side, you should consider whether you really need to use your mobile phone for a call or whether you could make important calls from home.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who cannot escape the influence of transmitting antennas due to their place of residence should nevertheless enquire whether the radiation exposure is really as high as they think, because there are also antennas that represent a low level of exposure.<\/p>\n<p>However, we must not forget that there was a time when radio waves were considered to be hazardous to health or when the speed of a train at 40 km\/h was supposed to be harmful to the brain. Our generation has grown up with radios, television and much faster express trains and has therefore never perceived them as dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>So be careful, but not hysterical.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wie so oft hat auch hier im deutschen Sprachgebrauch die Modesprache Englisch seine Spuren hinterlassen und den Begriff gepr\u00e4gt, den die Mehrzahl der Bev\u00f6lkerung benutzt, um kurz und knapp \u201eMobiltelefone\u201c zu bezeichnen.
