Cell phones have always been a daily staple of our lives today. It has helped us communicate faster and better with our colleagues, regardless of distance. For many, living without cell phones would create difficulties in communicating with others. However, shocking findings by experts show that several terminal diseases could be contracted through excessive cell phone use and would also create a significant amount of pollution. With this in mind, the use of cell phones should be limited for emergency reasons, for professional purposes (e.g. business, communications, etc.) and for security purposes, but not used for purposes other than those mentioned above. Cell phones should not be banned; rather, they should be limited. They have become a useful part of most people's lives, but they should not be exploited to the detriment of our health and the environment. Despite the great benefits of cell phones, they also have a negative impact on the atmosphere. On average, mobile phones are “kept for eighteen months, thrown into a cupboard and finally thrown away with household waste” (Osibanjo and Nnorom, 2008). In the United States it was predicted that 130 million cell phones would be thrown away by 2005, resulting in a total of 65,000 tons of cell phone waste. The bitter part of all this is that less than 1% (1.5 million cell phones) of cell phones are collected for reuse and recycling. The main reason why these mobile phones are thrown away is because people prefer to get the updated and “smart” version of the mobile phone, rather than their older counterparts (Osibanjo and Nnorom, 2008). Such examples are the materials that cell phones are made of such as gold, antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc . (Zn), which are subsequently transformed into waste products and are highly toxic (Kumar Kaushal and Nema, 2012). Cell phone batteries, for example, contain cadmium “enough to pollute 600 liters of water.” Furthermore, its small size is enough to pollute the air if burned in incinerators, or could leach into water if buried in the ground (Kumar Kaushal and Nema, 2012). Mobile phones not only produce environmental pollution, but can also lead to various health harms. anomalies. These health abnormalities, which include hearing problems, nausea and other head-related problems, damage to the nervous system, tumors such as brain and lung tumors, result from the acquisition of radiation in cell phones (Repacholi, 2001). The origin of these diseases is mainly linked to radiofrequency radiation (Armstrong and Bastawrous, 2013, and Kumar Kaushal and Nema, 2012).
