About Cell Phone Radiation And Methods To Take To Diminish Exposure

By Leigh Adams

One very big issue that is tied to the wide usage of mobile phones is the issue of cell phone radiation. Many varied studies have revealed that these devices emit microwave radiation ranging from low to high frequencies that can be absorbed by the soft tissues of the skin near the ear, causing migraines and all sorts of other conditions. Although it is as yet inconclusive if mobile phones can emit enough to trigger cell mutation, radiation can indeed mutate cells resulting in cancer.

Symptoms of radiation do not usually appear until twenty years or less after the initial large exposure to radiation emissions that are enough to cause such drastic effects on a human body. However, this study has been quite difficult as there are many other factors that play a part in the radiation exposure of an individual, not necessarily mobile phones alone.

Cell phones really do emit minimal amounts of radiation to the ear and soft tissues, which is of concern, however there are also many other factors to be considered. These factors are the use of tobacco, pollution, and outdoor exposure to industrial sized antennas and cell sites.

However, controversy is not an excuse to be lax in the use of these gadgets, or any other gadgets that may have possible radiation emissions. There are some recommended precautions that one can take if one is concerned about the consistent feeding of radiation to the cellular structure of the body.

The internet has listings of phones with low-radiation emissions, and this is a good option for those who need to use the cell phone for business, but are very concerned for their overall health. The willingness to change out an otherwise high-radiation emission mobile phone for low-radiation emission units is probably the best alternative for many individuals.

Using the mobile speaker functions on some modern mobile units can greatly reduce the emissions sent out by the phone, and allow for ease of use with less worries. For those whose phones do not have this feature or option, talking with the phone away from the ear will help reduce the radiation exposure.

The use of Bluetooth wireless earpieces that are popular today may lead to more microwave signals than otherwise expected, since these devices have an emission of minimal radiation on their own. An alternative would be to use head sets or hollow tube earpieces found in some earphones that greatly reduce radiation emissions from the device.

Avoiding having to place the phone close to the ear all the time by sending text messages as an alternative for times when information is quick and no long response is necessary. Radiation emission from the cell phone happens when the user is talking and the unit needs to transmit the signals out.

Bad connections or low signal pickup is also another reason for a mobile phone to emit more radiation as it seeks out a signal by sending out its own, so it is recommended that during weak signals one should refrain from using the mobile for talk time. The same goes for making long distance or overseas phone calls that tend to be lengthy and poor in reception, inducing the phone to work harder at trying to maintain the connection.
