Effects of Microwave Radiation On The Human Body I am going to research the effects of microwave radiation on the human body mainly from mobile phones. I am going to collect a wide range of information from a number of reliable and different sources. To research the effects of microwave radiation on the human body I am going to look at five different sources. Firstly I am going to look at the Internet to find two sources of information one from a scientific organisation and one from a mobile phone manufacturer. Because the Internet has a lot of unreliable information I am going to run an advanced search from the Google search engine. This will mean my sources are not useless thoughts of random people. Secondly I am going to find two sources of information in different encyclopaedias. I shall look at two different encyclopaedias and select relevant information to my research. Thirdly for my last source I am going to look at a textbook that is written for school use, so the information shall be relevant and non-biased. For all my research I must be selective and only pick out relevant facts for my research. Some of my research may be bias so I shall state whether it is and the reason why it may be bias. My research must be modern as mobile phones are only a modern invention and the research into microwaves is mainly recent. I know that microwaves are ideally suited for use in communication, they are able to rapidly transport signals containing large amounts of information. Microwaves cause water molecules to absorb energy from the microwaves and therefore start a molecular motion hence heating. My Re... ... middle of paper ... ...es I would collect a wider range of research from lots of different sources using modern and less modern research. I would look a number of different sources of exposure to RF and Microwaves like mobile phone masts and handsets. I would also look at different levels of exposure and the effects on different parts of the body e.g. the brain, heart and other soft tissues. I could be more selective with the parts of research I chose and the sources of this research that they came from. I could look to see if the pros weighed out the cons to using mobile phones. I could look at the different harms resulting to the use of mobile phones. Because of the insufficient research into the effects of RF and Microwaves and the probable bias of my research I do not feel I can draw a conclusion from the evidence in my research.
