What the concern is?

As per a report on the use of mobile phones during the Covid-period, the increased use of mobile phones is impacting the human body adversely. It is not only affecting the eyes but also the brain.

People are now complaining about headache, difficulty in sleeping, difficulty in remembering things, neck pain and even tiredness.

While on the other hand, few researchers also say that there is no risk to humans because of mobile radiations. They say that radiofrequency is of two types that is ionising and non-ionising.

Ionising frequencies are those which increase the risk of radiation and have an adverse impact on the body. While the mobile phone and its towers release non-ionising frequencies which does not much impact on the body.

According to the World Health organization (WHO) if the radiations are as per the international guidelines then there is nothing to worry about.
