Addressing Cell Phone Radiation Worries

. While the scientific and medical communities in general are still undecided as to whether the dangers are real or not, a number of scientists, health professionals and government officials have been advising the public over the years to take precautionary measures. They base their advice on what the available research has shown so far. These precautions include using the speakerphone to keep the phone away from the head, not using the phone while in an enclosed space such as the elevator, making sure there is strong signal before making the call, using a headset, and others.

This public health concern has also created a market for products that claim to reduce the possible harmful effects of the radio frequency waves. This is where we come in. We look at the many devices that are being offered out there and see which ones have scientific validation and testing, and then we make them available on our website for the public, said Taraka Serrano, the co-owner of Cellphone-Health.com. Among the several devices currently featured on the site include: a cell phone chip with a patented shield technology; a cell phone case that has been tested by an FCC-certified lab to reduce radiation by 60%; a line of air-tube headsets with patented technology; a maternity apparel, also tested by an FCC-certified lab, that shields the unborn child from radiation; and more.

Also available on the website is a list of mobile phones with low radiation levels as indicated by their SAR (or Specific Absorption Rate) ratings. Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field such as when using the mobile phone. All cell phones emit RF energy and the SAR levels vary by model. For a phone to receive FCC certification and be sold in the United States, its maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6 W/kg. The phones listed on the www.cellphone-health.com website have maximum SAR levels less than 1.0 W/kg. If it is eventually determined by scientific evidence that a higher level of radiation emitted by the phone correlates to a higher degree of risk, then using a phone with lower SAR value is an obvious way to reduce that risk, Mr. Serrano explained.

In addition to providing product solutions, the website provides current news and information related to mobile phone radiation and its potential effects on human health. While the science on the issue is still being debated, the website is hoping the public will heed the adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
