Cancer warnings: The possibility and probability of carcinogenic effects of cell phone use and exposure to cellular towers is a controversial topic. With over 200 million mobile phones in use and all the 195,000 plusCell towers that receive and transmit the signals to these devices are we safe? Are there any dangers associated with living in the immediate vicinity? This is often a hot topic in the news when studies reported negative results.
Some scientific studies have suggested a link between cell phones and brain tumors. It is difficult to know whether these results are reliable.

Cordless phones, two way radios. When you speak into a wireless phone, picks it up your voice and converts) the sound into radio-frequency energy (or radio waves.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all cordless phones.

Each agency has the power to take action to create a cell phone if hazardous levels of RF energy.
Hearing loss: If you have a cell phone for more than 60 minutes per day, a new study finds that the hearing could be impaired.
The study was "Hearing Disorders in Long-Term Mobile Phone Users," at the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation annual report presentedMeeting & OTO EXPO conference by Dr. Naresh Panda. The results were that those who used their phones for more than an hour per day for more than four years had noticeable losses in high frequencies. Long-term use of a mobile phone may also cause inner ear, and can lead to high-frequency hearing loss, the researchers found.
Mobile phone users are warned when they soon after ear symptoms such as ear warmth, ear fullness, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) asWarning Signs of an acoustic anomalies. Dr. Panda also suggested the use of headphones, which were found to be safer than with phone up to his ears.

Suggested that the research also factors such as the practice of transporting bees in closed trucks, the bees put under pressure and they tend to contract the virus. The next step in research is to infect aSample of bees with the virus to see whether it is definitely to blame.
