Cell Phone Radiation
Posted by easy eco blog

Environmental Working Group continues their research and has issued a report on the safety of Cell Phone Radiation. It brings to light many possible health issues and calls for more research. We would rather err on the safe side rather than wait for a definitive study.
If you are buying a new phone, be sure to check out their 10 Best Phone list with lower emissions. The Samsung Impression (SGH-a877) (AT&T) is the best on the list. See how much radiation your phone emits.
It is interesting to see that some phone emit more when sitting in your pocket than when next to your head. Cell phones are always on, even when you are not on the phone. They emit radiation while pinging cell phone towers.
Tips to minimize cell phone radiation exposure:
1. Using remote ear pieces would help keep the phone away from your body. Bluetooth headsets just add to the radiation mix. Airtube headsets may work best. Using the speakerphone also helps.
2. When not using your phone, try to take it out of your pocket, handbag, or holster. Keep it away from your body.
3. Limit cell phone use to essential calls and do not gab endlessly because you have a lot of minutes.
4. Do not use cell phones in elevators or metal cages that may concentrate radiation.
GQ recently had an article about cell phone safety.
San Francisco now requires wireless retailers to post cell phone radiation levels. Other cities are moving in the same direction.

Even if it is true, still, cellphone users should take this seriously. It is for our safety, not to throw facts against mobile phone industry. They are just telling practices that we should not do to make things worse, but not telling us to stop using cellphones.
