- Scientific evidence has indicated that electromagnetic fields (EMF) from cell phones emit harmful radiation, which may cause serious biological damage.
Cell phones emit 3 types of radiation:
The antenna emits radio frequencies (RF) and microwaves (MW)
The circuitry and battery of the handset emit extremely low frequencies (ELF)
- The healthy human body resonates with the earth's magnetic field at just under 10 Hz. Scientific studies have shown that frequencies in the ELF 60 Hz. and higher ranges create biological stress that can lead to serious health consequences.
- Cellular phones operate at frequencies millions of times higher than the 60 Hz. emitted by the electric lines.
- Approximately 20% to 80% of the radiation from the antenna penetrates up to 2 inches into the brain.
- Cell phones (in stand-by mode) carried on belts or in pockets expose other areas of the body to harmful ELF radiation.
- Children are more vulnerable because their nervous systems are still developing and they have thinner skulls and smaller heads.
- The insurance company Lloyd's of London recently refused to underwrite cellular manufacturers against possible claims due to microwave radiation.
