Cell phone radiation: how dangerous is the smartphone?

• In 2011, the World Health Organization classified cell phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic". Scientists have also found that tumors grow faster under the influence of cell phone radiation, at least in mice.
• However, this presupposes that the person already has a tumor. It has not yet been sufficiently researched whether and to what extent cell phone radiation can cause a tumor.
• However, we check for each cell phone how high the radiation from the various cell phones is. You can find more information on the results in the top 5 of the lowest-radiation mobile phones.

5 tips against cell phone radiation - how to protect yourself

1. Most of the radiation comes from making calls. You should therefore use a headset to avoid holding the smartphone directly on your head.
2. The radiation exposure is even lower when you make calls via WLAN.
3. With good reception, the radiation is lower, but with poor reception there is a high radiation exposure.
4. In addition, you should only hold the phone to your ear when the connection is established. The radiation exposure is particularly high during call setup.
5. It is better not to use your cell phone as an alarm clock, but to switch it off at night.
