know just by their basic operation, cell phones have to
emit a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. If
you've read How Cell Phones Work, then you know that
cell phones emit signals via radio waves, which are
comprised of electromagnetic radio-frequency (E.M.R)
energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation. |
| |
| There's a lot of talk
in the news these days about whether or not cell phones
emit enough radiation to cause adverse health effects.
The concern is that cell phones are often placed close
to or against the head during use, which puts the
radiation in direct contact with the tissue in the head. |
| |
| Although the cell
phone industry continues to claim that their products
are safe, there is still no scientific data available to
prove this. Evidence to the contrary, however, is
mounting every day. |
| |
| In essence, your cell
phone is a radio. When you talk on your cell phone, your
voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency
radiation (RFR) between 800 MHz and 1,990 MHz. This
frequency falls in the range of microwave radiation and,
when you are exposed to it, there may be a chance of
health consequences. |
| |
| Depending on how close
the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20% and
60% of the radiation emitted by your cell phone is
transferred into your head. The radiation actually
penetrates the area around your head and is absorbed,
with some radiation reaching an inch, to an inch and a
half, into your brain. |
| |
| Cell phones are
designed to transmit radio waves in all directions
because base stations can be located in any direction
with respect to phone users. This means that portions of
the radio waves they produce are directed towards your
body. |
