Are you ever concerned about the radiation from your cellphone 📱?

[sage2021]

Cellphones emit some RF radiation. A way to limit RF radiation:
not carrying your mobile phone close to your body when it is switched on.

It is estimated that the RF radiation from a mobile phone held against your ear will heat a localized area of your face and, to a lesser extent, your brain, by a fraction of a degree. This is less than the heating caused by, for example, exercise. However, high levels of RF radiation overheat body tissues and cause damage.

This is just one way to limit RF radiation, but I thought it was important enough to share this.

Never had any issues with it but I use it on speaker phone quite often, I’ve used a lot more power than cellphones when operating amateur radio equipment, we’re exposed to radiation from everything even in air travel from the atmosphere

Yes, that's why I never use it without the speaker but, even that's too damn quiet!

Radio waves in frequencies used in cell phones or WiFi are very bad in penetrating water. Human body contains lot of water and few millimeter of body tissue close to a device will be minimally warmed up with 100-150 mW omnidirectional energy of a cell phone.
In comparison a microwave has 800W power (800000 mW) directed towards the center of microwave oven.
If it's not an electromagnetic source that sends Megawatts of energy or some kind of ionizing radiation like roentgen or gamma rays, radio waves are not dangerous for humans. They appear naturally, entire universe sends a noise on all frequencies. Stars and bigger planets like Jupiter are radio wave emitters.

I do not have the answer. But at any given time. How many radio waves do you think is passing through your body and what does it do to your cells. Radio, television, Wi-Fi, ham radio, emergency radio stations, air craft. Just to name a few.
FYI. The new Gen 5 cell phone frequencies are thought to possibly pose higher cancer risks!

@Surley
I am just so afraid of electromagnetic waves/fields.
In my old apartment it sat smack in the middle out in the open of all the other apartments. So, because of the way it was situated there, we were in the pathway of every apartments things you mentioned.

The first night we moved in there my whole body felt weird and that feeling never went away.
My son and I started getting migraine headaches everyday.
Eventually I had to go on disability and was bed bound for 16 years.
Also, right below my bedroom wall were all of the meters so they could read everyone's electricity usage. I think that had something to do with it.
We had two cats 😻 that lived with us, both became very ill and had to be put down.
My roommate collapsed one night walking to the bathroom and fell with his face on the cable box, TV, etc. and couldn't get up.
The hospital said he had low grade long term carbon monoxide POISIONING.
We all moved out of there after 15-1/2 years and all of our health got better. But I had intense inpatient rehabilitation for six months before I was healthy again.

What a story. So you can see why I am a bit paranoid about these types of things.

Not really, If it were a concern we would have thousands if not millions of people with brain cancer.

@worldscolide
No, this isn't about scaring people into believing cellphones cause cancer.
They do however, make our brains warmer when we hold them to our heads.

[worldscolide]

maybe. I dont use my cell like that lol. ever since they started coming standard with hands free implements i haven't had a phone to my head.

[Surely]

@worldscolide. Do you possibly use blue tooth ear buds?

[worldscolide]

No actually. Mostly speaker phone or my car radio hands free mode

[Surely]

@worldscolide. Good deal!

[exitseven]

I really do not use my cell phone enough for it to be a proble, m
