Analyze of Temperature Effects Induced by Cellular Phones in the Human Head and Eye

Abstract:

In this paper it is presented some theoretical and experimental aspects about effect of long period using of mobile phone by different human subjects. In first part of paper it is presented the electromagnetic radiations analyze taking into account their interaction with human body. To study these interactions we develop an experimental methodology using a set of mobile phones and instruments to measure the thermal effect manifested at the skin surface and head and also the effect on visual function. The results and conclusions are presented in the final part of paper also the social and technical implications are studied and presented.
