Cellphone radiation - impacts and prevention

With the World Health
Organization confirming the
fears established earlier, that
there is “a possible connection between cell phones and two
type of brain tumors: gliomas
and acoustic neuromas,” or in simple words: cancer, there is
an increasing sense of panic
among mobile users. However
there are ways that you can
protect yourselves from these
effects. The effects start showing on
people who constantly use
their mobile phones (on an
average) for at least 30
minutes daily. So the main
precaution you can take is to reduce your phone usage. Just keep these
tips in mind : Reduce phone usage the most
you can. Use headphones or hands-free
kits, as they keep you away
from the radiation emitted by
the phones. You could also use
the speaker mode while
calling. If available use a land-line
phone. Text instead of calling. Keep your calls short. Strive for minimal usage in
areas having low signal (1 bar)
such as rural areas. Don’t allow small children to use mobile phones, unless
necessary. Radiation may
penetrate deeper due to their
skulls still being in a
development stage. Don’t cover the area, where the internal antenna is located
within your phone (mostly in
the middle-back part of your
phone), with your hand.
When you cover it, the phone
emits more waves to find a proper signal. Refer to your
phone manual to check the
exact position of the internal
antenna. Use phones having low SAR
(specific absorption rate.) This
is a measure of how much
Radio Frequency (RF) energy
the body absorbs. Use a 3G phone. There are reports that state that they emit lesser radio waves to the
brain. These are some of the tips you
could follow, that will surely
help you in the long run.
