How Much Radiation is Emitted by Popular Smartphones?

I knew the original cell phones were suspect in radiation that allegedly caused brain tumors, though the issue was solved.

1. I have the Smart Health plan

I get radiation in my phone calls, and chemo in my salad. I'm covered cradle to grave.

3. You are also protected by the chemtrails.

2. Scare article that ignores the difference

between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

4. yep - I keep trying to explain this to people.... n/t

5. So what you're saying is that keeping the phone in my pocket WON'T make me sterile?

6. I guess that if you fell

down a flight of stairs and broke the phone into glass and metal shards you might.

7. I guess there's some hope then...

8. Stick with the science

The Bottom Line
ALL cell phones must meet the FCC’s RF exposure standard, which is set at a level well below that at which laboratory testing indicates, and medical and biological experts generally agree, adverse health effects could occur. For users who are concerned with the adequacy of this standard or who otherwise wish to further reduce their exposure, the most effective means to reduce exposure are to hold the cell phone away from the head or body and to use a speakerphone or hands-free accessory. These measures will generally have much more impact on RF energy absorption than the small difference in SAR between individual cell phones, which, in any event, is an unreliable comparison of RF exposure to consumers, given the variables of individual use.

9. Did you miss the big disclaimer in the article?

There is currently no significant research proving the harmful effects of phone radiation.

12. Yeah, meanwhile everyone overlooks the real cell phone-related dangers.

Like yakking on them or texting on them while driving and walking. Or, spending all one's time looking at right-wing hate sites. Or, being oblivious to that drop-off that's right behind you while you're taking selfies. Or, just spending one's entire life staring at them, while the world passes them by, as they turn into doughy lumps of fatty goo.

10. What level of electromagnetic emissions surround you at all times?

Do you know? I'd guess not. Check it out.

11. Between panel boxes, transformers, high voltage duct banks...

Quite a lot. The lights flicker if your house is close to transmission lines.

13. And then there are TV and radio transmitters.

Radar systems at airports, along with emissions from your TV, Microwave, PC, and other electronic devices in your home. Your cell phone is the least of your worries, really.
