A blog all about cell phones!

Older used cell phones emit less radiation!

Microwaves, radio/cell phone signals, and other low frequency “radiation” has been used for over half a century with no evidence that it causes harm (bad radiation, from the sun, nuclear waste, etc. works by disrupting DNA, low frequency signals don’t).

Of course, caution is best, and many people mitigate damage by how they use their cell phones: you can use a blutooth headset, buy used cell phones (older used cell phones do less, emitting less radiation), and carry your phone in your purse/bag, not pocket.

Now some are calling for a change in how cell phone radiation risk is assessed. In contrast to the old model, they want a broader estimation of emissions: children have smaller, more affected heads than the model, people use cell phones more (phones emit radiation whether or not they’re being used, so carrying it in your pocket is a source of exposure).

The best way to avoid radiation, if you’re concerned, is to not use cell phones. Or, you can buy old models (think original Nokia) that aren’t preforming constant services like GPS, twitter updates, etc., and thus emit less radiaition.

Of course, you’ve got nothing to worry about. The biggest risk from cell phones is if they overheat. Pick up an extra battery with your used cell phone, and it will do a lot for you.
