I think that radiation from cell phones play a big part in brain tumers and brain cancer. I strongly believe this because statistics show that the amount of people with brain cancer increases by 0.7% every year since 1973, and people with brain tumers have increased by 25% since 1973, and "coincidentally " that was the year when the first portable cell phone was invented. |

I think that you did a very good job .You used a wide varity of words, and your point was stated very clearly. |

The non-ionizing materials can be as dangerous to the human body as the ionized ones, and here the UltraViolet rays are the best examples to understand this! I missed that out in the explanation, hope its avidly clear now! regards prerna |

hi VSP, thank you for your question.... Basically, there are two types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiations carry enough energy to break chemical bonds and separate electrons from the parent atoms and molecules, thereby creating ions in the irradiated material. Radiation with less energy than that required to produce ions in the irradiated material, is called non-ionizing radiation. The examples for this is Ultraviolet radiation (except the high energy end of the UV-spectrum), visible light, infrared radiation, micro waves and radio waves, are all non-ionizing. Hope that answers your question! Do keep visiting Buzzle for added features on several articles!

Can you specify the meaning of ionizing radiation? and how it is related to the human body? |
