Research review on the biological effect of cell phone radiation on human

Abstract

The growth in the use of cellular phone has raised the concerns about the possible interaction between the electromagnetic fields (EMF) radiation and the biological effects on human tissues, particularly the brain and the human immune system. These concerns have induced a large volume of research studies. However, most of the previous review studies are concentrated on negative effects and no published work took in consideration all possible effects caused by the use of cell phones. In this paper we aim to provide review of some studies which investigated the possible negative and positive biological effects of cell phone radiation on human tissues. This review will provide answers for public concerns about the risk of using cell phone. Our conclusion shows that long-term exposure to EMF radiation from a cell phone could cause health effects, such as brain cancer. Some positive health effects due to the exposure to the EMF radiation such as improve bone healing and reduce toxic effects of chemotherapy are highlighted. Finally, some studies have also showed no effect due to exposure to EMF. More long-term studies and analysis are much needed.
