by wemafounThe do’s and don’ts of mobile phone use
1. Children should only use mobile phones next to their heads for emergencies. Children’s skull are thinner than adults and their brain still developing. Hence, radiation from mobile phone penetrate more deeply into their brains and likely to cause more damaged. Texting (while holding the phone away from their body) is still fine for kids.
2. While talking to your phone. try to keep the mobile phone away from you body as much as possible. The amplitude of the electromagnetic field (radiation) is one fourth the strength at a distance of two inches and fifty times lower at three feet. whenever possible, use the speaker phone mode or a wired headset (not Bluetooth).
3.Avoiding use your mobile phone when the signal is weak or moving at high speed, such as in car or train, as this automatically increase power to a maximum as the phone repeatedly attempts to connect to new relay antenna.
4. Avoiding carrying your mobile phone on your body at all times. Do not keep it near your body at night such as under pillow or on bedside table, particularly if pregnant. you can also put it on’ flight’ or ‘offline’ mode, which stop electromagnetic emissions.
5. If you must carry your mobile phones on you, make sure that the keypad is positioned towards your body. and in back positioned toward your body the outside so that transmitted electromagnetic field move away from your rather than through you.
6. Only use your mobile phone to establish contact or for the conversation lasting for a few minutes, as the biological effects are directly related to the duration of exposure. For longer conversations, use landline with a carded phone. not a card less phone, which also uses electromagnetic emitting technology similar to that mobile phones.
7. Switch side regularly while communicating on your mobile phones to spread out your exposure. Before putting your mobile phone to the ear, wait until your correspondent has picked up. this limits the power of the electromagnetic field emitted near you ear and duration of your exposure.
8.When possible communicate via text messaging rather than making a call. to limit the duration and the promiximity to the body.
9.Avoiding your mobile phone in a places like a bus. Where you can passively exposes other to your mobile phones electromagnetic field.
10. Choose a device with the lowest SAR possible.( SAR= Specific Absorption Rate, Which is the measure of the strength of the magnetic field absorbed by the body.
