The secret inside your cellphone (CBC Marketplace)

[@cynthiaklenk6313]

I'm an electrical engineer (Class of '74) my emphasis was/is RF and radar. I have been trying to tell people about this for many many years - no one listens. These devices are more radio transceivers than anything else, they emit non-ionizing radiation - that is how a radio transmitter works. RF electromagnetic energy can do nasty things to your cells (and the DNA they contain, which is very fragile). We live in an absolute soup of non-ionizing RF, from the phones, to AP's which are everywhere now, nudie scanners (millimeter wave RF) at airports etc etc. Like any other type of radiation, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation is neither felt, tasted or smelled, unless the dosage is very high and/or the distance to the emitter is very small (by that time its too late).There is a formula to calculate this. In the mean time even at low dosage it is wreaking havoc on your poor defenseless body, whose cells operate at < a millivolt (1/100th of a volt). I do carry a phone, I use it as infrequently as possible, keep it in my purse - and I NEVER hold it up to my head - ever. These devices are not passive, nor are they benign - please limit your exposure.

[@Alternity666]

@@System-br1tx To be honest, I just turn my WiFi off and use RJ-45 for everything. You can indeed buy a RJ-45 micro-USB adapter for a phone (Android, not sure about Apple considering the jail they put you in...) if you really want to use your home network. I don't turn off wifi for health reasons, more for security reasons and performance reasons, but the health thing is just another reason to not use it. Don't use WiFi people, it's just bad in every way. Use RJ-45.

[@edragon6591]

BTW... It does NOT matter if you call on the phone or not. Your phone is constantly pinging the cell towers unless you have it on Airplane mode. When you text, it still sends out a transmission and is ALWAYS listen/waiting/pinging to see if there is a message for it to receive, This is how your phone displays the signal strength. AND how you receive calls and texts ... always checking the tower to see if you have a massage/call. Also if you use the bluetooth earbuds you are transmitting from the phone into a smaller receiver in your ears that again is constantly pinging the device to see if it needs to connect. Best to use speaker phone or wired headphone/earbuds.

[@tomtom4916]

As I understand the information provided, new smart phones are active even when off. The reason you can't remove the battery. They ping even when powered down or off...

And with what we know about tobacco ppl still smoke in cars and homes with children who have no choice in the matter. Smoking in a home or car with kids should be downright illegal yet it's not. Why does it take society so long to fix things? Children are innocent and cannot make decisions or change anything when they have selfish despicable ppl around them poisoning them. This is something long overdue for correcting. I feel tobacco should only be legal with stringent requirements to stay the hell away from ppl. U wanna poison yourself that's your right but to smoke in front of a store where ppl have to walk through it should be a crime. You can't be intoxicated in public but u sure can smoke and poison everyone around u. Just wrong wrong wrong! And yeah it's big $$ in tobacco that has kept the right thing from being done. With everything we know at this time about how bad it is we still tolerate it and why??? Anyone smoking around a child or any non smoker should be imprisoned for causing physical harm and pollution. The world disgusts me in that we so easily just look the other way. If someone was putting a child in harms way we would do something about it. If someone smokes in the home/car a child sits in nothing is done. Smokers are the ignorant fools causing harm hurting others around them and they litter the streets with ciggarette butts right in front of the police yet nothing is done. Why not do a story on that!! Wake ppl up and fix the laws so we can help those who cannot help themselves!

samsung website: SM-G930T THIS DEVICE MEETS FCC LIMITS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the FCC guidelines for this device model are: Head : 0.85 W/Kg Body-worn accessory : 1.07 W/Kg Product specific(wireless router) : 1.04 W/Kg Simultaneous transmission : 1.59 W/Kg During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the device.

[@Hoserfishing]

Sitting near your internet router also has high RF exposure in many cases, Smart meters, DECT phones and bases, leaving your phone to charge near your head at night can affect your quality of sleep as well. Take this seriously because when you help someone through dealing with brain tumours it is a very sad thing. Shame on all corporations that put money ahead of their fellow man no matter what race, color or religion they are. Really pathetic and what you allow will come back to you in future.

I don't fret about this segment of my memory that is murky and hard to describe, because I feel so much clearer and in tune with everything.

However: * Microwaves have those cages for a reason - to keep the radiation in * Tobacco, alcohol and drugs are a really separate issue here. * light radiation and the sun is completely different kind of radiation. * Both FM and AM are below the Microwave frequency range, unlike WiFi and cellular * WiFi - the concern here was the massive increase in radiation absorbed the closer the device is to you. In this case, WiFi is part of the radiation of the phone and is at the same theoretical concern level. Most other devices, though, including the AP are not normally within 15mm of your body. You've well summed-up with a sarcastic statement what CBC did wrong here: not explaining what needed to be explained thereby causing misunderstandings.

Moka, these "worst case scenarios" are actually fairly useful, as these tell us the maximum output allowed by the device.

When I go to sleep I put wifi off n put on airplane mode I heard about it somewhere Not sure if it's true I don't ever use or eat from microwave. Now with 5g is another story When I'm using my phone for long then I have a funny feeling in my hand Maybe the radiation?

[@goldeneddie]

You're doing the right thing, especially with wifi at night. I have worked in health for 30 years and I won't have wifi in my house at all, so I have an ethernet cabled connection. Also, rather than just putting your phone in airplane mode, just turn it off. Turning it off is the safest guarantee that it's not frying your head.

[@sabrinawanderer7560]

I turn off my phone whenever i sleep.

[@missfloflowers]

I saw a video last year that Dr. Mercola had the tip of putting phone on airplane mode the reduce radiation. The video might have been even older. I just watched new video from Dr. Edward Group on utube 2 weeks ago. Apparently we are no longer protected by putting on airplane mode. At least as of last year.

[@tousshong9438]

I agree! The cell manufacture should not held vital information from the consumers when they know their products may post a health issue when prolong using the phone etc.. We have to be made aware of the hazardous effect. When someone knowing withheld vital information especially when it may harm the end user, they should be held accountable, period!!!

I seen a study about Bluetooth vs phone radiation and the result was that Bluetooth has much less radiation. Just make sure you get a good one.

[@JeanPaulFernandes]

@@NikoBellaKhouf but bluetooth earbuds are placed inside your ear closer than phones- every mm closer is significant

[@NikoBellaKhouf]

@@JeanPaulFernandes I'm aware of that. They aren't 100% safe at any level. But it's better to have a Bluetooth headset than to put a phone up to your ear. I wouldn't use the ones that go inside the ear.

Bluetooth probably is better if have low watts than with the cable, because cable is like passive antenna when phone in use

[@OldieBugger]

I use loudspeaker when possible, this way my phone is some 20-30 cm away from my head most of the time. And I think it might be wise to carry my phone in my backpack or something. Btw, how do the Bluetooth hands-free devices measure in this radiation scale?

[@Dazzwidd]

I think you'll be okay, using speaker like that has already dramatically reduced your exposure. I do the same thing. Radio Frequencies follow the inverse square law of distance. To put this into simple terms, approximately speaking, if you double the distance, the signal intensity is cut down by 75%. So think how much the exposure is reduced going from 1.5cm to 30cm which is 20 times further. or even from the phone being on your ear to being 20cm away. You'll be fine

It took me less than two minutes to find the applicable warning on my iPhone 6+. Settings->General->About->Legal->RF Exposure. Which is exactly where I would expect to find such a warning.... FYI, most people never read user manuals and wouldn't pay any attention to this warning even if it was right in front of them.

3 years ago... Watching this in 2020, when cellphones are about 10 times faster and more powerful than the ones in this video, plus 5G is right around the corner of mass use... Hmmm... Plus the fact that the phone manufacturing companies *still* use the excuse of old fashioned, totally outdated information and regulations to make their phones reach "minimum safety standards"... NOT a good thing!... Updates to rules and regulations NEED to be made immediately, and those newer stricter, more realistic use standards need to be enforced to require ALL phone manufacturers to meet those stricter guidelines!... People aren't realistically going to give up the convenience of having their phones close to their bodies, so stricter standards of safety MUST be implemented! This is kind of scary... and ridiculous! (that the safety rules haven't been updated, even though phones and peoples habits have changed in recent years!)

Cordless home phones are just as bad or worse. I found out when my home wireless router kept cutting off. Cable company asked me how far is my phone base was from the router. I said about 6 ft. They said it needs to be further away. I did some KZbin search and found a test that showed it was if I had a cell tower in my home. I went with Magic Jack and wired it to my in house phone jacks and use corded phones with answering machine. Also I have my Verizon router on a timer to shut down at bed time. No need to get more RF while Im sleeping. I noticed I sleep better and dream more now. Coincidence ? I think not.
