Mobile phone radiation and health concerns have been raised since the 1990s, especially following the enormous increase in the use of wireless mobile telephony throughout the world. This is because mobile phones use electromagnetic waves in the microwave range. These concerns have induced a large body of research (both epidemiological and experimental, in non-human animals as well as in humans). Concerns about effects on health have also been raised regarding other digital wireless systems, such as data communication networks.
Although previous studies have shown mixed and often conflicting results, these studies have been criticized for having a low statistical power. The current study included 120 subjects to improve the statistical power of the analyses; 58 males and 62 females from 18 to 70 years. Mind you, such a spread in age could actually be a confounding variable, and an age effect should have been included in the analysis. To that, the current study does not seem to have controlled for age and gender effects on the age sample.
The EWG study looks at all mobile phones, but since smartphones are becoming a standard tool for businesses and IT professionals, I’ve drilled down and looked at the list from a smartphone perspective. I’ve broken out the 10 smartphones that produce the most radiation, the 10 that product the least amount of radiation, and a list of the radiation ratings of some of the most popular smartphones that did not make either of those two lists.
When you look at these lists, keep in mind that the EWG has also included some older models that are no longer being sold but are still used by many workers and consumers. Also note that “W/kg†stands for watts per kilogram, a measurement for power density.
The 10 smartphones with the highest radiation
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (1.55 W/kg)
Blackberry Curve 8330 (1.54 W/kg)
Palm Treo 600 (1.53 W/kg)
T-Mobile Shadow (1.53 W/kg)
Palm Treo 650 (1.51 W/kg)
Blackberry Curve 8300 (1.51 W/kg)
Blackberry Bold 9000 (1.51 W/kg)
Sony Ericsson P910a (1.50 W/kg)
HTC SMT 5800 (1.49 W/kg)
BlackBerry Pearl 8120/8130 (1.48 W/kg)
According to the reports the tissues of children are tender and are likely to be more effected by use of any wireless gadget and devices and they should not be encouraged to use mobile phone.
The fatal and volumetric effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted mainly by mobile phones, mobile phone antenna, tower, mast, transmission tower, microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment.
These dangerous effects have been certified and confirmed repeatedly by many leading medical and scientific research institutions of the world including Ministries of health of various governments, W.H.O. and now have been admitted and confirmed by Govt. of India in their recent press releases.
The attached image shows and proves about the serious ill effects of E.M. radiation released by Radiation Nuclear and Safety Authority of FINLAND as to how E.M. radiation emitted by mobile phones damages the various body cells and causes incurable and fatal diseases.
A word of advice for frequent cellphone users -
1. Incorporate a hands-free kit or a speakerphone mode while using a cellphone for a longer duration.
2. Unless needed, keep conversations on a cellphone short.
3. Keep the mobile phones away from infants as they are in their developing stages.
4. While in a car, try to use an external antenna attachment to concentrate the focal point of cellphone radiations away from your body.
