Wireless Phone Radiation
(fact or fiction)
Yes, it's true that Wireless Phones emit radiation, but this non-ionizing radio wave doesn't change the structure of atoms or cause their electrons to fly apart (creating free radicals, the real cause of cancer). On the other hand, it's also true that any radiation in concentrated amount can heat or damage tissue.
All cell phones sold on today's market must fall below a radiation level set by the Federal Communications Commission (FDA). This standard, known as the SAR, measures the energy in watts per kilogram that one gram of body tissue absorbs from a cell phone. Although different brands of Wireless Phones have varied SARs levels, none exceeds the FDA's SARs ceiling of 1.6. If wireless phone radiation concerns you, ask for manufacturer specs when considering your cell phone purchase.
There's still no conclusive evidence that cell phones pose any health risk, but you can stay on top of this issue with regular visits to the WIRC website. This independent, non-profit organization employs scientific advisors to review and report on the latest research studies, and provides objective information on the health effects of Wireless Phone Technology.
