Will your phone give you cancer

According to American society of cancer research Cellular (cell) phones first became widely available in the United States in the 1990s, but their use has increased dramatically since then. Along with the large and still growing number of cell phone users (both adults and children), the amount of time people spend on their phones has also risen sharply in recent decades.

 

Cell phones (including smartphones) give off a form of energy known as radiofrequency (RF) waves, so some concerns have been raised about the safety of cell phone use. With respect to cancer, concern focuses on whether cell phones might increase the risk of brain tumors or other tumors in the head and neck area.

 Do Phones, And Particularly Smartphones Cause Cancer?

 

 So, the indications are that they don't. Most of the research that has been carried out so far hints that phones do emit radiation because of the radio waves but it is not strong enough to damage DNA and any other orgains. But with that said, the current wisdom regarding smartphones and cancer is based on the fact that so far no direct link has been found yet between cancer smartphones. Yet. This is the key word. It is known that phones are carcinogenic. It's just that radiation from them is not strong enough to fry DNA.

 

Here are some simple precautions you can take to reduce exposure to electronic device radiation: 

1.  Keeping your cell phone as far away from your ear and body as possible at all times.

2.  Switch off cell phone and take away from your bed next to your head.

3. According To World Health Organization (WHO) the intensity of radiofrequency and radiation from cell phones deceases exponentially the further the device is held away from body.

4.  Connect to the Internet with an Ethernet cord, not a wireless router, whenever possible.

5.     Text instead of calling whenever possible. The farther your phone is from your body, the better.
