Cell Phone Safety ByEric Braverman MD



Studies have indicated that cell phone use could alter brainactivity due to the emission of electromagnetic radiation.Today's cell and smartphones emit more radiation than everbefore as they transmit complex data.It's recommended that we keep cell phones at a distance byputting them on speaker mode or using a wired headsetwhenever possible. The next-best option is a wirelessBluetooth headset or earpiece, which emits radiation but at afar lower level. Just holding your phone slightly away from yourear can make a big difference; the intensity of radiationdiminishes sharply with distance.

This is why I think texting is better than talking on a phone, becauseyou have to hold the phone completely away from your brain. Keep inmind that cell phones emit the most radiation when they initiallyestablish contact with the cell towers. To reduce exposure, wait a fewseconds until after your call has been connected to put it next to yourear. Also, your cell emits less radiation when you are standing still.When you're moving, your signal moves with you from tower to towerand must generate little bursts of radiation to make each digitalconnection.Author Bio:Eric Braverman MD is a Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappagraduate of Brandeis University and NYU Medical School, did brainresearch at Harvard Medical School, and trained at an affiliate of YaleMedical School.
