Study on the Improvement of Laws Related to the Electromagnetic Wave of Mobile Phones

Countries around the world have already taken direct and indirect measures to warn of the harmful effects of mobile phone electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, in the Republic of Korea the installation of Wi-Fi has been expandedwithout restrictions by location, and there is a widespread atmosphere of protesting human rights violations even if young students cannot use mobile phones, ignoring problems caused by the use of mobile phones. Human brain cells are increasingly exposed to electromagnetic waves of mobile phones as the penetration rate of smartphones grows.In order to solve the long-lasting question of whether electromagnetic waves from mobile phones will harm the human body, many studies are being conducted in various countries around the world, andthe recently published findingshave warned of the potential for harm. The labeling of electromagnetic waves alone is not sufficient to raise awareness about the dangers of electromagnetic waves. It is necessary that the Republic of Korea organize and operate a national electromagnetic wave research center in line with its status as an IT powerhouse, along with the revision of the Radio Wave Act, which directly warns the public about the hazards of mobile phone electromagnetic waves and can directly impose obligations on the mobile phone industry.

이미 세계 여러나라는 핸드폰 전자파의 위험성을 경고하며 조치를 실시하여왔다. 반면 우리나라는 휴대폰 사용으로 인한 문제보다 학생들조차 핸드폰을 사용하지 못하게 하면 인권침해라고 항의하는 분위기이다. 인간의 뇌세포도 핸드폰 전자파에 더 많이 노출되고 있어 인체의 유해가능성에 대해 세계 여러나라에서 연구하고 있으며 최근의 연구한 발표결과들은 강력히 경고하고 있다. 현재 국내의 전자파 등급표시로는 국민에게 경각심을 불러일으키기에는 너무나 부족하다. IT 강국이라는 명성에 발맞추어 국립 전자파연구센터를 조직·운영하고 일반대중에게 핸드폰 전자파의 유해성을 경고하고 업계에 직접적인 의무를 부과할 수 있는 전파법제의 개정이 필요하다고 생각된다.
