The Environmental Working Group's launched a website dedicated to rating cellphones on their radiation output alone. Devices with the lowest levels of radiation seem to be the Motorola RAZR V8, Samsung Impression, and several Nokia devices. Samsung and Nokia have consistently higher ranking phones (lower radiation emissions). Phones with the worst results includes T-Mobile's myTouch 3G and the Blackberry Curve 8300 and Bold 9000. There's several Motorola devices on the right side as well.
Cell phones emit radiation to send voice and text messages to the other caller. Health risks aren’t confirmed, but some (not all) studies of frequent cell phone users suggest increased risks for brain and mouth tumors and children’s behavior problems.
EWG lists the following guidelines to reduce your exposures:
1. BUY A LOW-RADIATION PHONE (...)
2. USE A HEADSET OR SPEAKER - Headsets emit much less radiation than phones (I can never find my headset!)
3. LISTEN MORE, TALK LESS - Your phone emits radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're receiving messages. Listening more and talking less reduces your exposures.
4. HOLD PHONE AWAY FROM YOUR BODY -Hold the phone away from your torso when you're talking (with headset or speaker), not against your ear, in a pocket, or on your belt where soft body tissues absorb radiation. (LOL, i'll try... )
5. CHOOSE TEXTING OVER TALKING (Yess. Got this. I prefer texting.)
6. POOR SIGNAL? STAY OFF THE PHONE - Fewer signal bars on your phone means that it emits more radiation to get the signal to the tower. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.
7. LIMIT CHILDREN’S PHONE USE - Young children’s brains absorb twice the cell phone radiation as an adult’s. EWG joins health agencies in at least 6 countries in recommending limits for children’s phone use, such as for emergency situations only.
8. SKIP THE “RADIATION SHIELD” - Radiation shields such as antenna caps or keypad covers reduce the connection quality and force the phone to transmit at a higher power with higher radiation.
