What are the risks of mobile phone radiation?
The health risks of Electromagnetic Radiation from mobile phones are now a proven scientific fact. Recently published long-term studies have added to concerns that cell phone radiation may be linked to various forms of cancer, including tumours of the ear and brain, gliomas, blastomas, and neuromas, in addition to a broad range of other health risks.
Children and teenagers are five times more likely to get brain cancer if they use mobile phones. Their thinner skulls and rapidly dividing brain cells make them more at risk. The American Academy of Pediatrics points out that youngsters receive 2x the exposure that adults do in the brain and 10x in the bone marrow of the skull.
Developmental and behavioural problems in children could be linked with exposure to cell phone radiation during pregnancy. These concerns have been raised by studies from Yale School of Medicine and the University of California, Los Angeles School of Public Health. Other studies have linked cellphone and WiFi use with behaviour problems in children.
Health risks for all of us include:
- Research studies suggest damage to the immune system from cell phone radiation.
- Research has found links to infertility from electromagnetic and microwave exposure.
- Mobile phones can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbance and memory loss.
- Regular hands-free headsets are not effective and can actually increase the amount of radiation penetrating your head by 300%, as the wire acts like an antenna.
- By using a safe headset you can reduce the amount of radiation reaching your brain by up to 99%.
Why WiFi radiation should not be used in schools->
Many schools are now using WiFi and subjecting children to chronic full body exposure of microwave radiation. Measurements in several schools have found that the levels of radiation are actually higher in a classroom with WiFi than they would be right next to a cell phone tower.
In this video, Cindy Sage, environmental consultant, talks about The BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields. While other countries (eg France, Norway, Israel) are trying to reduce the amount of dangerous electromagnetic radiation exposure to their citizens, it seems that Australia is relaxing its safety standards.
Microwave radiation from mobile phones and wireless technologies havebeen linked to sperm and DNA damage.
A good reason to use a Signal Stop or SilverShield case!
Microwave (RF) radiation from wireless devices such as DECT cordless phones has been shown in scientific studies to cause genetic mutations in brain cells and behaviour changes. These mutations may lead to dementia or cancer.

We are also exposed to hazardous electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from many sources in the home. Click on the scroll for some handy tips to minimise your exposure!
In addition to an increased risk of cancer, EMR exposure has been linked with sleep disturbance, allergies, depression, skin rashes, lymphoma, memory loss, miscarriage & infertility, heart arrhythmias, and many other conditions. Assess the amount of EMR in your home with the advanced Trifield meter
