Remember when people proselytized about aiming hair dryers at their wet heads? No? Well, they did. How many people do you know have zapped themselves to death with a hair dryer?
But, for all you paranoid hypochondriacs out there, go on and get your headset — it’s safer to drive with one anyway.
“You should pay attention to the amount of radiation that’s being absorbed by your head,” said Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group. “There is a danger.”While the cellular industry dismisses such fears and the federal government essentially declares the phones safe, Naidenko’s organization thinks the radiation can cause brain cancer and other illnesses.
So this week, it released a ranking of phones by the level of radiation emitted – ranging from lowest-radiation Samsung Impression to three models, including the Kyocera Jax S1300, that put out more than four times as much radiofrequency energy.
The group suggests not just that you shop for a lower-radiation phone, but that you use a speaker phone and other tools to keep the device away from your ear.
Brilliance in action:
This article appears in Sep 8-15, 2009.
Erickson, before it was known as Sony Erickson, conducted a study of their phones and those of Nokia to find out why Nokia phones had better call quality.
Turns out that Nokia phones have higher energy outputs.
This is not a coincidence. Nokia purposely designs this way so that you assume that their phones are just better.
Erickson, trying to discredit Nokia went a step further and actually proved that the microwave energy coming from Nokia’s phones could cause brain cancer.
They actually proved it! But, since the same can be said for Erickson phones and any other cell phone, the study is only know to those of us who were on the inside.
I’ve been using cordless headsets ever since. Corded headsets transmit the radiation right into your ear.
Holding the phone in your hand while talking or texting is just as bad for the tissue in your hands.
Please, please don’t believe this. There is no proven science yet, and there is no real information in that article. Radiowaves just don’t have enough energy to do any kind of damage to your brain, ear, or any other part of your head. This is sensational bullshit.
