We all know that mobile radiations are injurious for one’s health, yet the time we spend chatting and browsing through our cell-phones is ever surpassing. In fact, if reports are to be believed, the pandemic and therefore the lockdown has further increased the time we all spend with our electronic devices.

Dr. Manjari Tripathi, HOD of the Neurology Department, AIIMS shared, “We have observed headaches, sleep disturbances, memory disturbances, foggy mind, irritability, impulsiveness, hand pain, neck pain, vision decrease and loss etc as a result of excessive mobile use.”

We all know that cell-phone radiations are very injurious for health, yet the time we spend chatting and browsing through our cell phones is ever exceeding. In fact, if reports are to be believed, the pandemic and therefore the lockdown has further increased the time we all spend with our electronic devices.

Dr. Manjari Tripathi, HOD of the Neurology Department, AIIMS shared, “We have observed headaches, sleep disturbances, memory disturbances, foggy mind, irritability, impulsiveness, hand-pain, neck pain, vision decrease and loss etc as a result of excessive mobile use.”

To find out how precisely the mobile radiation impacts the physical body , AIIMS and Environics conducted a clinical test to research its effects on brain activity. As part of the study, the participants were exposed to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and the changes in frequency of the brain wave pattern was observed. The participants were healthy individuals with no history of neurological disorder.

Ajay Poddar, MD, Syenergy Environics added, “For our study with AIIMS, we chose to guage the EEG (electroencephalogram) which monitors the electrical activity within the brain. There are basically four waves that emanate out of our brain. There are alpha, beta, theta and delta waves generated from our brain and they represent different activities of the brain. We studied the implication. We chose a statistical size of 30 volunteers and picked a really sophisticated instrument. We made people talk on the mobile for 5- minutes without the Enviro-Chip then with the Enviro-Chip. We gave them rest and checked their brain activity.”

When the data was analysed, it was found that alpha and theta waves - both the waves that are related to the feeling of relaxation - showed fluctuating waves, which means it was stressful for the body.

Dr Tripathi added, “As per the experiments done by us at AIIMS, the alpha, theta waves showed more refinement when the mobile was set with EnviroChip, as against the use of the mobile phone without the same. These waveforms are associated with the state of relaxation of the mind.”

Why do the mobile phone radiations harm us?

Broadly speaking, there are two dangerous effects of phone radiation. One is of course the heat effect. Talking on the phone attached to your ear for an hour gives you the same heat as the microwave gives in one minute. The other is the biological effect. For the unversed, our cells transmit with one another and therefore the cell phone radiations disrupt this communication. This happens because our body waves are random, whereas all artificial radiations are systemic, which disrupt the traditional functioning then our cells need to work harder to speak .

For the chip, the researchers used a combination of natural materials. Mobile radiation flows in megahertz range, while the chip flows in terahertz (low intensity waves). These natural materials like wood, marble which are wont to make the EnviroChip have natural vibrations. They form random waves because they're natural matter, in order that they carry the systematic waveform from the phone during a random form, which is friendly for our body.

While we know that mobile phones have become an inseparable part of our lives, we should practice caution. Did you know that all mobile phone websites carry warnings related to phone use, which we tend to ignore because they are there in such fine print? They advise limiting the talktime and maintaining the device at a distance from your body at any given time. Additionally, they recommend using the phone on handsfree. Moreover, with longer spent on the phones, we've less time to interact in physical activities and in real conversations.
