There are different myths regarding cell phone use and obviously you also heard that due to its radio signals someone can catch up with diseases or the planes can crash and so many other things can happen. Most of these myths are based on assumptions and misunderstanding of the technology. Here are some typical myths about the mobile phone radiations and its effects, which maybe you’ve heard before, so many times.

Can Cause Fuel Ignite
May be you’ve noticed that on gas station or on filling stations different boards are fixed with this statement that turn off your mobile because its signals may cause ignite the fuel. It’s a common warning written on the notice boards. But still there is no evidence support to this claim. And the cell phone’s signals are not too much strong that fuel catches fire due to these.

Can Interrupt the Aero Plane Systems
There is no adequate statistical information available to determine that whether cell phone signals are risky for planes or not. It’s a myth that if someone uses mobile phone during flight then the cell phone signals may hamper with the aero plane’s navigation systems and compass and it may happens that due to this signal interruption plan crashes. But NASA and FAA says that it’s not true that due to a cell phone signals plan crash.

Can Provide Grounds for Brain Tumor/Cancer
Some people say that cell phone radiations may cause tumor or brain cancer? There are a lot of studies on this issue but they haven’t any prove that it’s true or not. According to the report of Institute of Cancer Research of Europe there is no relation between radiations and the cancer disease. And some studies said that the cell phone signals may cause the diseases. So, both are not agreeing on a single point, it seems that it depends upon personal choice that how much you want to use cell phone.

Can Interfere Hospital’s Equipment
Cell phone signals upsets the hospital equipment and can kill patients, its argue by medical staff. They also said that mobile phone in hospital can be unsafe. The radio frequency signals may fumble with medical equipment technology used in hospitals and that may cause some big incidents. So that’s why some medical care institutes and hospitals ban the use of mobile phone inside the premises. But according to Mayo Clinic’s report this is a misconception.
