RE: Could Radiation From Our Mobile Devices Kill Us? The Untold Truth About Cell Phone Radiation

in #steemstem6 years ago

The belief that a cell phone with a maximum radiation power of about 1w is capable of doing any real damage is one that I will call an old wives tale. The Sun can transmit up to 48w of power to our heads if we are standing under the sun.

Sort:  

I don't know why some people imagine that we are incredibly fragile creatures. Humans are capable to withstand a lot. A negligible amount of radiation whose frequency is absorbable can in the worst case scenario heat the area for about 0.1 C. This is as dangerous as putting the palm on the forehead

Lol @alexs1320 that was hilarious to say the least! But still you wouldn't put your palm on your forehead all day, would you? :)

It's just an old wives tale taken a step further.

Sure! @greenrun ..the value does seem really insignificant and minuscule relative to other more common sources of radiations. But make no mistake though! ..little drops of water could and would eventually create an ocean someday. Afterall, from my knowledge on the subject it isn't like after a phone call all the seemingly "negligible amount" of radiation emitted simply dissipates into thin air. Remember the emphasis is on constant exposure and not just a one time experience thing. Hence, there could be an accumulative effect in the long term.

But who really knows? I guess this present generation would only have to wait some 10 to 15years or even more to discover the real truth.

We have constant exposure from other more powerful sources, if we don't die from its exposure, I guess we'd be safe from whatever radiation a cell phone had in it.

Yeah I guess. Well said then.
