Phone Radiation Alert

Cell phones are ubiquitous in our society. Approximately 6 billion people on this planet have access to a mobile phone. But is this mainstream device dangerous?

Cellular devices use “electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range.” This is similar type of radiation produced by other digital wireless systems. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified cell phone radiation as Group 2B. This means that cell phone radiation is possibly carcinogenic. In order to truly tell if cell phone radiation is carcinogenic or not, long-term research must be conducted. However, scientists have begun conducting studies to try and understand the connection between cell phone use and cancer. Despite the relatively low risk of cancers, people should still be cautious because ailments can take up to 30 years to fully develop.

It is unrealistic to tell the world to stop using cell phones. However, it is important that the world is aware of the dangers we may face because of cell phone radiation. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that people try to adopt hands-free devices or texting to reduce the radiation exposure. Obviously, the exposure is higher when the cell phone is closer to our heads and bodies. It is also best to try and keep mobile phone use limited for children.
So what does all of this mean? Are cell phones good or bad? Cell phones have only been around for about twenty years. Only time will tell if the cell phone radiation will affect the world in the long term. To really find out what is going on, a study should be conducted now that follows thousands of people, with controls, throughout their lifetimes. For now, I would use my cell phone with caution, but there is no way that I am taking it out of my life.

I created this Phone Radiation Alert Apps to monitor the daily phone radiation level. The apps will monitor the signal strength from nearby telecommunication tower and also battery radiation level of the phone. I develop a formula using sophisticated algorithm, the apps will calculate and show your daily call radiation level of your phone calls.

To reduce you daily radiation expose, use hands-free devices such headset, speakers and more texting then voice calls as WHO recommendation.
