Abstract

Günümüzde cep telefonları/akıllı telefonların kapasitesinin artması ve fiyatlarındaki azalma ile birlikte cep telefonlarının kullanımı da hızla yaygınlaşmıştır. Bununla birlikte, her teknolojik ilerlemenin ve aşırı kullanımının olumsuz bir yönü olabileceği düşüncesi ile pek çok araştırmacı elektromanyetik alanın insan vücudundaki etkilerini araştırmaya yönelmiştir. Elektromanyetik alanın insan vücudundaki pek çok sistemi olumsuz etkileyerek özellikle kanser, infertilite, sinir dokusu dejenerasyonu, kardiyolojik hasar gibi pek çok hastalığa sebep olabileceği rapor edilmiştir. Ayrıca Uluslararası Kanser Araştırma Merkezi çok düşük frekanslı elektromanyetik alanın insanda sınırlı kanıta sahip kanserojen ve hayvan deneylerinde “yeterli kanserojen” olarak tanımlanan grup 2B’de sınıflandırmıştır. Bu nedenle, cep telefonu kaynaklı radyasyon maruziyetinin neden olduğu biyolojik etkileri incelemek son derece ciddi ve zor bir araştırma süreci olarak görünmektedir. Bu çalışmada, elektromanyetik alan maruziyeti konusunda toplum bilincine katkı sağlamak ve araştırmacılara yeni ve farklı fikirler verilebilmesi adına elektromanyetik alanın olası biyolojik etkileri, incelenen literatür kaynaklar seviyesinde derlenmiştir.

Abstract

The use of mobile phones has become widespread rapidly with the increase in the capacity of mobile phones/smart phones and the decrease of prices in novadays, However, many researchers have turned to the effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body whit the idea that the overuse of every technological advance will be have a negative aspect. A large number of studies investigating EMF exposure and the health effects of it focused on particularly cancer, reproductive health, diseases caused by nevre tissue necrosis and hearth diseases. Extremely low frequency magnetic fields has been classified in group 2B which is the category of limited evidence of carcinogenity in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenity in experimental animals by The International Agency for Research on Cancer. Therefore, to examine the biological effects caused by cell phone induced radiation exposure appears as an extremely serious and difficult research process. In this study, possible biological effects of electromagnetic field were reviewed in the light of the literature sources, in order to community awareness about exposure and to give different ideas to researchers.
