Question

View and counter view on mobile in short

Answer 1

 It is  unnecessary to do research on the harmful side of mobiles


We all know mobile phones can be irritants, but do they cause cancer? That's what the Union health ministry has decided to find out.


The ministry has commissioned research to study the effects of radio frequency radiation on the human body — a first of its kind research in India.


The study will be spearheaded by the Indian Council of Medical Research and conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru University's School of Environmental Studies and three departments of AIIMS.

The decision to research the effects of mobile phones on human physiology comes from a pilot study done at JNU, where rats subjected to radiation from mobile phones were found to have damaged DNA and low sperm count, leading to infertility and reduction in testes size.
