As the World Health Organization names cell phones a possible carcinogen, these some tips can make using your cell phone safer.
Does the World Health Organizations (WHO) statement that cell phones can cause cancer have you think twice about making that phone call?
Obviously it’s frightening to think that something that’s become such a thing that you can’t live without linked to illness and worst its brain cancer, but you can minimize the health risk of these, and luckily there’s a lot of ways to avoid it.
Any possible relations to cancer stem from the low levels of radiation cell phones emit. You must lower your exposure to the radiation, and you’ll reduce the potential links other health problems or brain cancer:
Use a headset. It is obvious that sound have a small part, but headsets decrease incoming radiation than cell phones do, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), it’s because headset keep away your phone from your head. The distance does matter, the farther away you are from a source of radiation, the less damage you may take from it.
Text while you can. Texting teens are constantly onto something: Cell phones use less energy (and emit less radiation) when you text than when you talk, says the EWG. Texting also helps by means of keeping the radiation away from your brain. If it is not important expert recommend texting than calling.
Use cell phones for FYI-only calls. Do not use your cell phone for a long time, hour-long catch-up with your sister. Keep your calls as short as possible — do you need me to get the dry cleaning, honey? — And you can switch to a landline if they’re veering off into a chitchat territory.
Watch the bars. Why I can’t hear you? If you’re struggling to maintain a good connection, End the call and wait until you have better service. When your phone has low signal bars, it has to work harder to get signal (and, therefore, emit more radiation) to connect.
Keep distance your cell phone from your ear while you can. Experts recommends waiting first for the call to connect before you bring the phone near to your ear, these minimizes radiation exposure. And when you talk, tilt the phone away from your ear and you can bring it in close when you’re listening. That’s because the radiation levels are “significantly less when a cell phone is receiving signals than when it is transmitting” zen shie a professor of engineering from a known university told to new york times. These can lessen the radiation that your body absorb by keeping ayaw your cellphone from your ear.
Don’t even make calls in elevators or cars. You already know it’s dangerous to talk while you are driving; EMF-Health.com says that cell phones use more power to establish a strong connection in enclosed metal spaces like cars and elevators.
Make sure that your kids use the landline. It seems like these generations even toddlers are using cell phones, but experts say kids are one of the most vulnerable to potential radiation dangers. Some experts says adults can absorb phone radiation but children absorb twice as much cell phone radiation than adults do. According to The New York Times, health authorities in Britain, France, Germany, and Russia they have warnings against letting children use cell phones.
You can buy a low-radiation phone. Many cellphone gives more radiation than others but some of them emit low radiation; if you’re in the market to buy a new phone, some experts recommends that you consider the phone’s SAR (specific absorption rate), a way of measuring the radiation absorbed by the our body. It is listed in the body of some cell phone, also you can research their SAR’s to some website offered or listed among those products. Every phone have their SAR to tell how their customer can handle their cell phone to minimize the radiation that you can possibly absorbed.
