How to use your mobile phone more safely

<div _ngcontent-c14 = "" innerhtml = "

If you are a male rat and you use your 2G or 3G cell phone more than 9 hours a day, you should worry about Thursday National Toxicology Program (NTP) ad. But if you are a human?

The NTP announced the following results from a series of $ 30 million studies that took more than a decade to carry out:

• Obvious evidence that high exposure to RFRs used by cell phones was associated with tumors in the hearts of male rats. The tumors were malignant schwannomas.
• Some evidence that high exposure to RFRs used by cell phones was associated with tumors in the brains of male rats. The tumors were malignant gliomas.
• Some evidence that high exposure to RFRs used by cell phones was associated with adrenal gland tumors of male rats. The tumors were benign, malignant or complex pheochromocytomas combined.

In this case, the RFR is not a sound produced by Scooby-Doo, but represents a radiofrequency radiation, the type of Type of non-ionizing radiation emitted by cell phones. Studies also found that rat mothers and their newborns had lower body weight when exposed to high levels of RF during pregnancy and lactation.

But before throwing your cell phones in the trash (which you probably would not do anyway), there are some reservations about this:

• The study has exposed all rat bodies to the RFR, which may be different from the way you use a cell phone, unless you have a gigantic cell phone or do not systematically cover dozens of phones portable.
• The amount of RF exposure was well above that of a cell phone.
• Studies have mimicked the RFR of 2G or 3G cell phones, which you probably do not use anymore.
• The study did not find clear evidence for female rats and male or female mice.
• You are probably not a male rat. Biologically.

The results of this study should not make you panic. Unless, of course, you are a male rat, because there are other reasons to panic if you suddenly find yourself as a male rat. However, these findings still emphasize that the RFR is not completely harmless. It is easy to forget that your mobile phone is a machine and not a person, even though your mobile phone can talk, entertain and even comfort you. But just as you would not be in a microwave, you should always be wary of how you interact with a machine.

In addition, the advances and use of cell phone technology have far exceeded the understanding of the potential health consequences. As shown in the NTP study, measuring the effects of RFR on health may take some time. The technology has evolved considerably since the beginning of the NTP study. Before more definitive statements are made in both directions, it is necessary to conduct further studies on the potential risks of using the cell phone. Remember that mobile phones have not undergone the same amount of safety testing as vaccines.

In the meantime, you may want to take the following 10 precautions:

1. Carry your mobile phone as far as possible from your body and your head. Do not keep it in your underwear when you wear it. There are other ways to look bigger if that is what you want. And do not cling to your head, because there are other ways to say, "I am an idiot".
2. Check where your cell phone is before going to bed. A cell phone can look like a nighttime background. You do not want to wake up and realize that it's next to you.
3. Use a speaker or headset whenever you can. This will help to increase the distance between the phone and your brain. Plus, it's never comfortable to push something against your ear, unless you're used to that kind of thing.
4. Try to avoid using your mobile phone when the signal is weak. When the signal of the cell is weak (only one or two bars are displayed), the phone amplifies its RFR by trying to connect. This will also help you avoid asking yourself "what", "can you hear me" or "did you say" love "or" glove "" so many times.
5. Do not use your mobile phone to download large files or stream videos. This also increases the RFR issued by your mobile phone. You can wait until you get your computer or other connected device Ethernet or Wi-Fi to download this video of cats falling from the tables.
6. Lobby for labeling and clearer information on product RFR exposure. Different devices may vary in what they emit. Do you wonder about these broadcasts when choosing a phone?
7. Do not wear your headset when you are not taking a call. Of course, you might want to look like Tom Cruise Impossible mission. But headphones continue to emit small amounts of RFR even when you do not "use" them.
8. Put your phone in airplane mode or, better, turn it off when you can. A cell phone is like a toaster. If it's disabled, it's less likely to hurt you.
9. Stay skeptical about RFR displays or other devices that claim to reduce your exposure to RFRs. Surprise Surprise. People are trying to sell you junk that does not work. Many of them can even increase the RFR.
10. Stop using your mobile phone so often. A child of 5 years does not need a mobile phone. Who the hell is he going to call? A stock broker? There are many alternatives to using a cell phone, such as talking to someone face-to-face. You can reduce the use of your cell phone by reducing the duration of your calls. To tell him that you "like him 50 times on the phone" will not make up for the fact that you forgot his birthday.

The technology itself is neither good nor bad. According to Eric Clapton, "it's in the way you use it". Do not forget to be smart regarding the use of the smartphone.
