Another soures of this em radiation are radars used by aircraft, law enforcement, microwave relays, microwave ovens, living under power lines, computer monitors, televisions... etc. etc.. The hullabaloo may be centered on cell phones, but there are a lot more devices in everyday use that email em radiation.<br><br>But unfortunately, most "news" coverage covering this "cell phone radiation" fails to differentiate between em radiation and radiation emitted from isotopic elements (uranium, radon, americium, etc).  While em radiation like all others must be limited, sensationalism leads the un-informed to believe we'll be growing an extra head on our shoulders. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bedt14]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 6:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How Much Radiation Does Your Your Phone Emit?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/12/study-details-how-much-radiation-your-phone-emits/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/12/study-details-how-much-radiation-your-phone-emits/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah seriously. While radio transmissions (which is effectively what your cellphone is pumping out) can be dangerous, you'd have to crank up the amount of energy significantly...like about the same amount of energy which comes out of a radar installation or radio tower (which is why you have to turn them off before they can be worked on because they literally would fry you). Radio waves are not of the ionizing variety (like the kinds coming from radioactive isotopes and which would leave you having a bad day...and no children.)<br><br>bedt14 is being nice, but the long story made short: we are all surrounded by idiots who didn't pay attention in school, or who ever picked up a book that didn't have pictures.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doktor Midnight]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 7:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How Much Radiation Does Your Your Phone Emit?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/12/study-details-how-much-radiation-your-phone-emits/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/12/study-details-how-much-radiation-your-phone-emits/</guid><description><![CDATA[Haha, Thanks bedt14 and Doktor Midnight, Cleared up a little bit there...<br><br>I still think it is bull how media blows this out of proportion.
