How to Reduce Mobile Phone Radiation
In May, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that long-term use of mobile phones might cause cancer. The decision to make that announcement came after years of research and countless studies were reviewed and found inconclusive. Now, reports are beginning to surface that there may be another side effect of prolonged use of mobile phones: male infertility.
Recent studies conducted by Queen’s University in Canada have found that mobile phone usage appears to increase the level of testosterone in its user. It also may lead to what it phrased as “low sperm quality and a decrease in fertility.” Other similar studies have found that sperm counts in men who frequently use mobile phones may drop as much as 30 percent.
So, what steps can you take to avoid mobile phone radiation?
You can:
Limit your use to important calls.
Use speakerphone instead of holding the phone to your ear when possible. If you’re in a quiet, private place, there is no harm in putting the phone down in close proximity and speaking that way.
Wait until the call connects before putting the phone up to your ear. This is important because the phone uses a lot more power to grab a good signal from the tower as it begins to initiate the call.
Put your phone in a shoulder bag instead of your pocket when possible.
Make sure you have a good signal before placing a call. When the signal indicator indicates a poor connection, your phone is actively adjusting its transmitting power in order to establish a solid connection.
Choose a phone with a low SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). This is a measurement used to determine the amount of energy absorption which you can experience during use.
Text when you can. If you can get away with sending a quick text to someone instead of a full-on phone call, you might save more than a few minutes.
Connect to Wi-Fi when you can. By sending data requests through Wi-Fi instead of the cell network, your phone will have an easier time making a connection and receiving your latest email and updates.
With mobile phones becoming our primary mode of communication and source of information, there is no question we’re becoming more and more connected to our devices. Until science catches up to the technology and gives firm answers on exactly what influence they have on our health, it’s never a bad idea to make at least a couple minor adjustments to our usage habits, just in case.
great news! i don't have to wear a condom now.
Also check the SAR of the device before you buy one, that`s the radiaton level. The lower the better.
i like your short pants rizks....!
nizin tats not me, i dont have tat much of blonde hairs on my head...:(Hey Maiden, how u doin lady ? yea long long time not seen ya to...hope to see u soon back....:)
i agree widome came with time old people usualy have wisdom but it is the half of fact , the second half is the more you think,work,patient , meditation
the more wisdom you feel
all of us like small birds but some canot sing
if u can google abt this , u can find many styudy reports on hw it affects the brain, thermal effects on body, radiation penetration in different age groups etc etc...the studies are scary.....prevention is better than cure ,rt????
Rizks - no need for bag,just wrap your phone by lungi..:)
Nizins - Only punching bags..:)
And who will say that someone died due to cell radiation? Of course, If people developed cancer and one of the factors causing it is the radiation,once that person died,of course they will say that he/she died of cancer. Phone radiation is not a gun or knife..It affects the health..it's one of the factors causing cancer..
are you giving LV bags to everyone?? in that case, im applyng too....;) ;) lol
i want a goodie bag ....:(
Radiation is harmful to health,if WHO announced it then sure they had research and experiments..unfortunately,we are all exposed to this..
TCOM - Which bag do u want? lol.
first things first! lets reduce the voilence of any form, everywhere!
This theory was proved and WHO announced it recently that mobile fones CAN cause cancer.....this was posted in QL before...still FYI, heres the link again :) http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/31/who.cell.phones/index.html
This is not kidding anymore..even i thought WTH, wen i read things like this before....but recently i noticed wen some of the new model fones rings, i see distorsions on my TV signal..the screen just flickers...i notices this same thing with a few models...i donno if its coz of radiation or anyother frequencies, still it is der and we shud be carefull... and for BB users, if u had gone through ur safety docs of ur fone u wud understand some..if u havnt, read it here:http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/11261/BlackBerry_Bold_9700_Smartphone-US
YES, Der is a SAR for every mobiles. The Federal communications commission sets the acceptable power radiation from cell fones must not exceed 1.6 W/KG. For the SAR of ur mobile u can click the link below:http://mmfai.info/public/sar.cfm
Waiting mode.
...we r exposed daily to numerous radiation emissions.....i think we better dont breathe or talk....lolz..
Is there any list of Mobile with Lower SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)?And Does using Bluetooth headset has any implications on health (positive or negative) ?I am sure some experts here in QL can help on this. thanksC boy
LV never full! i would love to answer my mobile every minute/second from that bag! lolz...
Jakula - Sure..which one do u like? with cinderella in it?
@ princesssarah - nice. could you buy one for me too??? hahaha!
So from now onwards the mobile companies will start writing on each mobile box "Be aware: Speaking may cause cancer!" like in the cigarettes boxes!?
hahaha Lincolnpirate good point! :)
Ok,i'll buy a shoulder bag for my boyfriend.:))
And stop smoking, too!And follow the traffic rules!And don't forget, QL is not a dating site!
Yawn
