The mobile (cellular/cell) phone combines the technology of the wireless communication with that of the telephone and uses specific frequencies called microwaves, a sub-set of radio waves with frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 3GHz. Cellular phones and their base stations emit pulsed microwaves in the environment with phone users exposed in the near-field and the general population exposed under far-field conditions. Some reported biological effects associated with these radiations include radiofrequency sickness, electroencephalographic and blood pressure changes, cancer risks and genotoxicity. Since exposure to radiofrequency radiations has been reported to affect physiological, neurological, cognitive and behavioural changes and to induce, initiate and promote carcinogenesis, such an underlying threat to human health also exists for mobile phone users.
