Sustainable perspectives on energy consumption, EMR, environment, health & accident risks associated with mobile phone use
Abstract
Overview
Mobile phones have grown rapidly using today's wireless technology thereby providing a new dimension to simplify daily routine jobs by users. Mobile phone's applications have a great impact on the way of faster and more effective to convey information.
Findings
- Electromagnetic Radiofrequency Radiation (EMRF): EMRF from mobile phones may cause adverse health effects on humans.
- Environmental Impact: The raw materials used in mobile phones may have severe environmental impacts due to their levels of toxicity.
- Energy Consumption: Energy is consumed not only during the production of mobile phones but also throughout their usage.
- Health Hazards: Health hazards correlate with high-toxic substances released from mobile phones and prolonged use, leading to addiction. Additionally, mobile phone usage while driving can cause road traffic collisions and motor vehicle crashes.
Conclusion
Sustainable perspectives have been suggested as a way to overcome these detrimental effects of mobile phones.
