Cell phones have always been an essential part of our daily lives. This helped us communicate faster and better with our peers, regardless of distance. For many, living without a cell phone would create difficulty communicating with others. However, shocking findings from experts show that several deadly diseases could be contracted through heavy cell phone use and they also create a significant amount of pollution. With this in mind, the use of mobile phones should be limited to emergency reasons, professional purposes (i.e. business, communications, etc.) and security purposes, but should not be used for purposes other than the reasons stated 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 our 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 in 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 discarded by 2005, resulting in 65,000 tons of cell phone waste. The bitterest part 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 that people prefer to use the upgraded and “smart” version of the mobile phone, rather than their older counterparts (Osibanjo and Nnorom, 2008). Such examples are the materials from which cell phones are made like gold, antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) , lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc. (Zn), which are then transformed into waste and are highly toxic (Kumar Kaushal and Nema, 2012). Cell phone batteries, for example, contain cadmium “enough to pollute 600 liters of water”. Additionally, its small size is polluting 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 cause various health consequences. anomalies. These health abnormalities, which include hearing problems, nausea and other head-related problems, damage to the nervous system, cancers such as brain and lung tumors, result from the acquisition of radiation in the mobile phones (Repacoli, 2001). The origin of these diseases is mainly linked to radiofrequency radiation (Armstrong and Bastawrous, 2013, and Kumar Kaushal and Nema, 2012).
