The Dangers of Cell Phone Radiation
Remember that classic “this is your brain on drugs” commercial, with the egg frying in a pan? If you soon see a “this is your brain on cell phones” clip, don’t say we didn’t warn you: Cell phone radiation may be slowly sautéing your noodle, finds new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Using a first-of-its-kind technique for measuring electromagnetic radiation, researchers found the radiofrequency field generated by your cell phone causes brain tissue to heat up. This proves your brain is absorbing radiation from your cell, study author David Gultekin, Ph.D., a researcher at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, tells MensHealth.com.
While Gultekin and his colleagues can’t say exactly how much cell phone radiation exposure is safe, the World Health Organization has classified radiofrequency fields as possibly carcinogenic, meaning exposure may put you at greater risk for brain cancer, the study explains. This isn’t the first study indicating cell phones could eventually cause serious health problems. (Check out our 2010 report: Is Your Life on the Line?) But in the game of Russian roulette you may be playing by surrounding yourself with cellular devices, this is one more bullet, Devra Lee Davis, Ph.D., founder of the Environmental Health Trust, tells MensHealth.com.
1. Use Anti-radiation protection sticker. Pasting one radiation protection sticker means healthier and less harmful to your body. As technologies progress , more and more people use call phone frequently. Cell phone radiation has become an ‘invisible killer’ that accompanies people at every movement.
2. “Distance is your friend.” Davis repeats it like a mantra. If you check the legal fine print in any cell phone manual, you’ll see manufacturers like Apple and Motorola recommend keeping your cell at least 10 millimeters—or the width of a pencil—away from your body at all times. Davis agrees—but a hands-free device is even better, she adds.
3. Beware of weak signals. Cell phones release more radio frequency radiation while searching for a signal, Davis says. That means rural areas or any spot where your signal is weak are bad places to make a call, she explains.
4. Point the number pad toward your body. That is, if you have to keep your cell in your pocket, David says. The electromagnetic field transmits through the back of your phone, so more of the harmful radiation will be directed away from your thigh (and nearby sensitive areas).
5. Switch it up. Change hands (and ears) frequently while talking on your cell phone to limit the amount of exposure to one side of your head, says Davis.
6. Dial with your phone on speaker. The radiofrequency radiation is strongest when your phone is attempting to place a call, so hold it away from your head until you hear someone pick up, Davis explains.
