Cell Phone: Threats Posed

Consumers should know what is the SAR levels of the cell phone they purchase or use; that is the amount of radio frequency (RF) energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. 

‘Mobiles are the smoking of the 21st century; they need health warnings’

The FDA in American or the FCC requires cell phone manufacturers to ensure that their phones comply with these objective limits for safe exposure. Any cell phone at or below these SAR levels (that is, any phone legally sold in the U.S.) is a "safe" phone, as measured by these standards.

The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). Source: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar/

Exposure to radiation, shown as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels, varies widely in different models. Manufacturers and the Government have ignored the Stewart report that urges they be clearly marked on phones and boxes. An easily accessible list of phones and radiation exposures is published in Germany, where low-radiation models, defined as having SAR of 0.6 or under, are encouraged.

Following link is a interesting research published on all findings about cell phones, it's worth reading.

Extracts from the following link:
The scientists who conducted the research say using a mobile for just an hour every working day during that period is enough to increase the risk – and that the global standard used to protect users from the radiation emitted is “not safe” and “needs to be revised”.

TIPS

Answer a call at your cell phone on your LEFT ear.
Answering from the right ear could directly harm our main brain cells.

Avoid using the cell phone with low battery as the radiation transmitted during low battery was doubled.

Avoid speaking over the mobile phone while your phone is still charging.

"It has been repeatedly shown that a few minutes exposure to cell phone type radiation can transform a 5% active cancer into a 95% active cancer for the duration of the exposure and for a short time afterwards." According to IOL, a study by group of independent Dutch scientists has revealed that frequent use of cellphones leads to slower brain activity. This is the same process occurring on Alzheimer's patients. However, the evidence is not yet conclusive.
