Doctor assesses health risk from phone vibration

by time news

The issue of the impact of electronic gadgets on human health has been acute for more than a decade, and the debate continues. In addition to electromagnetic radiation, many ordinary people are worried about the possible impact of the same vibration that mobile phones produce when making calls and notifications. However, doctors believe that at least this moment does not create grounds for concern.

In an interview with Gazeta.Ru, medical analyst Polina Kozlova said that in the medical environment there is a concept of “vibration disease”, and it is studied by occupational pathologists. However, such a disease is typical for production workers who are exposed to powerful vibration for at least several years. Symptoms of the disease include disorders of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the nervous and cardiovascular systems. However, for their appearance, it is necessary to be exposed to prolonged exposure to vibration of more than 16-200 Hz. Vibration in smartphones is too low.

“In my opinion, you should not be afraid of the harm of this phenomenon from your smartphone,” the doctor said.

She added that if a person is still worried about such moments, vibration can eventually be turned off in the phone’s settings.

As for the energy emitted by gadgets, its effect on the body has not yet been studied and there is no data on possible harm as such. At the same time, the expert advised not to keep the device near the head for a long time. So, it is recommended to put the phone away at night, and use a headset during use.
