Effective Ways Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Dangers

Although the effect of mobile phone radiation on several diseases such as brain tumors is still questionable, but researchers remain concerned about the effects of radiation accumulates. What are the steps that can be done to reduce radiation?

In the website of The Food and Drug Administration's stated that evidence of a link between cell phone with health problems are not there, but the FDA confirmed that the phone had issued a low-level radiation and radiofrequency energy (RF) is not heat that will not damage DNA.

However, RF energy is cumulative and can also be harmful if excessive. Moreover, it's been a lot of kids who have cell phones and the risk of radiation. If as a child has been exposed to radiation, possibly during adult life will experience health problems.

Previously, the organization of The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has conducted a study in 2007 and reported that an increased number of hyperactive children by 80 percent in children who use mobile phones during the little while in the womb or the mother is often called by phone.

Predicted risk of other diseases that could emerge within 10 years with the intensity of the use of which often are gliomas or brain tumors (60 percent), salivary gland tumors (50 percent), migraine and vertigo (10-20 percent).

In 2008, the parliaments in Europe have done a resolution to develop a smaller cellphone radiation, but that rule has yet to be applied. For that, the only steps to reduce radiation is to remove him as much as possible with the organs.

"We recommend using speakers rather than hold the phone to the ear. The distance of the brain and ears that close will make a rapid radiation into the brain. Using the speaker could keep radiation distances up to 15 inches and reduces the RF to the brain up to 1/225th," said Dr. Andrew Weil as reported by the Huffington Post, Monday (12/10/2009).

In addition, Andrew also suggested that:

1. Using a public telephone (regular) if you want to talk long enough 
2. If it is not possible to use the speakers, use a headset to keep the radiation from the body 
3. Do not put phone in one bed while sleeping 
4. Find out how much RF from mobile phones using the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. In America, the SAR is allowed is 1.6 watts per kilogram and each phone has different SAR. 
5. Any mobile phone companies provide information on cell phone radiation emission label for consumers could be more to anticipate the dangers.
