I have heard talk about getting radiation from cellphones. Is this true and is it serious enought that people should know, or is it just me that is "in the dark about this?" Also, is a person exposed to radiation staring at his computer screen? I have been getting headaches, but maybe it is just getting a little too much of either one or it is just in my head. haha Could it cause cancer? Thanks for your help.

Depending on how close your cellphone antenna is to your head, you could be absorbing as much as 60 percent of the microwave radiation generated by your phone. Some of that radiation will seep as far as two to four centimetres into your brain.
Children are at risk because they have thinner skulls, smaller heads, and their nervous systems are still developing. It goes on to suggest that mobile phone companies should not market to those under 16 years old.
In all reality, yes your body does get radiation from cell phones. Your body also gets radiation from many other things too. Studies cannot pinpoint that an increase in brain cancer is due to cell phones. I reccommend that if your worried about radiation then just keep conversations short. That allows less radiation to absorb. Also dont keep a cell phone in the pocket of a shirt near the heart. There is another unproven rumor that the signal interferes with heart rate.
I dont think your at risk. But there are some helpful little hints for you.

Cellphones are hazardous to your health! And radiation is something to worry about and so I am surprised that nothing has ever been said to warn people! Apparently walking barefoot on grass helps take away the radiation. Radiation after all, is a danger to humans. I don't however think there is a radiation problem when it comes to computers. But sitting in front of any screen for too long could give you headaches! I'm surprised people never lived longer back in the days where there were no computers, cellphones, petrol fumes, and all our other dangers....maybe they aren't all that bad?

Having only recently got a mobile phone, I'm now thinking I've done the wrong thing cos even texting makes my hands tingle. If I'm on a call for too long I just feel sick. So yes, there must be radiation - microwaves comming from the mobile. As to the computers - I don't think they are so bad but even then they're not the best and remember never to leave your TV on or on standby in your bedroon when you sleep. Cover it up.

The truth is that cell phones don't emit radiation but electromagnetic waves.Those can indeed cause cancer because they cause the DNA molecules to change which is the cause of cancer anyway! actually radiation can only be emitted by radioactive materials (which I can guarantee aren't included on your cellphone) and during and after a nuclear reaction.
you can avoid a great part of this radiation by wearing hand free.

Electrons left to themselves have closed energy cycles. When they are used for human benefit like the present day technologies it affects in the long run. Mobile phones use micro waves of high frequency,the ear drum is not capable of handling it. Our ear drum is suited only for limited decibles of sound and not high frequency magnetic waves.It is equally true for computer screen.Quick changes in TV/PC screens cause headache. There is no solution to this problem since we are increasing such uses for human benefit day by day.

permit me preface my reaction with this little bit of healthful skepticism: there is not any administration in this test. possibly the examine carried out have been performed with appreciate to sound scientific practices. although, there are some variables to evaluate. a million. absolutely everyone makes use of cellular telephones. it is to no longer say that this disproves the undeniable fact that there is not any hyperlink between cellular telephone utilization and maximum cancers--it in basic terms potential that utilization on my own won't be able for use as a sole correllative variable. It must be supported with the help of important and obvious supplemental stimuli. 2. we regularly forget approximately that our era is quite a working test with appreciate to longtime publicity to synthetic chemical composition that have by no potential, and could by no potential exist of course. in case you seem on the back of your bag of "ask your self Bread", I assure which you will no longer have the potential to pronounce seventy 5% of the climate. It makes me "ask your self" why grandmas selfmade bread remains clean, on a similar time as the mass produced equivelent seems to stay very quite gentle for 40 5 days (i will assure you that it is not via fact they used larger high quality flour) 3. the main difficulty-loose and maximum perceivable style of waves are persons that compose a valid waves. there is not any longer something incorrect with that for the period of and of itself. The analogy falls short once you utilize your difficulty-loose wisdom of ways the sum comprehensive quantity will boost in a linear style (ie a choir of 10 singers is louder than one , with the administration being that each singer is making a music with the comparable intensity. it is not the case while describing the character of the waves emitted via our cellular telephones. the comprehensive intensity will continually be as great via fact the main effectual source. meaning, in case you have 3 components emmitting a sign: a million) 10 (2 13; 3) 8, the point of publicity would be subsequently, 13--by no potential decrease and by no potential larger. I even have not accompanied as much as verify all the examine, yet i will say that there is not any think approximately nerve-racking approximately it. perhaps they do reason maximum cancers. We won't understand for some years the lasting long term outcomes to prolonged publicity. perhaps, interior the year 2100, AT&T would be tension to place caution labels on their telephones comparable to that of the tobacco companies. greater efficient yet, perhaps you will get maximum cancers from "2d-hand" cellular telephones...
