CNN Explains: Cell phones and radiation
CNN Explains: Cell phones and radiation
You love your cell phone, but is it emitting radiation that could be harmful? CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains.

Liar
Does surfing through the internet on wi fi cause radiation?
So, the conspiracy theorists were correct on this one. Scary sh*t!
Even though this is a very serious problem, there are more problems with phones, such as texting. Are phones even worth talking on?
Many thanks from us at Green Swan, Inc. to both CNN and Dr. Gupta for this articulate public service announcement as to the potential health issues associated with cell phone use. We encourage everyone to pay attention to the proximity guidelines contained within your cell phone user manual. Practice the precautionary principle and remember to keep cell phones away from your head and body.
Oh sh!t professor I think your right
Brain cancer is the leading cancer in children under ten. Brain cancer is up 200% in this country. I wonder why? We are all living in a microwave soup.
stupid 11th grade assignment
Sometimes people actually use their phones,
other times people use their phones either to apparently-text in case they walk by someone they don’t wanna talk to
or
they hold their phone to their ear to apparently-talk to someone, probably cuz they won’t look alone.
If that’s not the case, then idk why.
Well, I have a Galaxy Note 2. Hah! Take that, suckers and enjoy your cancer!
One of the best solutions is to use air-tube headset.
Using air, instead of wires, limits exposure to potentially harmful electromagnetic radiation and dramatically reduces the amount radiation exposure to the user’s head, ear and brain.
The tube and earpiece contain no metal conductors and achieve up to 98% radiation reduction.
I found the Smart&Safe headset (EchoTUBEZ) as a good, effective choice.

In my opinion, this video doesn’t explain the whole story about cell phones and radiation. Cell phones typically use radiowaves as a method of communication (e.g. waves from the radio tower reach the phone and vice versa) and this is generally how you are able to call other people on your phone. Radiowaves are in the lowest frequency range in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum (gamma rays have the highest, and visible light is in the middle). As a simple explanation, the amount of energy that an EMR wave carries is directly proportional to its frequency, so the higher the frequency the higher the amount of energy. Since radiowaves have lower frequency than even visible light, this means that they exhibit energy levels which are less than the sunlight we receive everyday. So if you’re scared about dying from cell-phone radiation, guess you shouldn’t be going outside either.
I am not saying that cell phones are not posing a greater risk to human health, but rather that the radiowaves which are emitted from your cellphone is hardly the main cause of "the harmful effects."
I wonder if a decade from now we are going to see a spike in hip cancers where we carry them all the time.
No wonder cancer is increasing at record rates.
Study after study is confirming just how dangerous cell phone radiation is. In May of this year the U.S. National Toxicology Program, of the U.S. National Institutes of Health published the world’s largest and most well-designed study of its type, costing $25 million. They found an increased occurrence of rare brain tumors in male rats and increases in nerve tumors in both male and female rats exposed to cell phone radiation.
An important and under-reported danger, thank you.
The instructions say hold phone an inch away from your ear. Then he holds the phone 6 inches from his head and says, "I don’t know how many people talk on the phone like this." What an idiot. So "Doctor" Sanjay Gupta says while "we don’t know enough yet" to prove anything we shouldn’t take a chance, because we don’t want to get cancer in 10 years and then find out that cell phones were bad for us. Thanks CNN! Thank you so much!

"Studies have been inconsistent and results have been conflicting. There is no consensus about the degree of cancer risk posed by cell phone use, if any at all."
dowload TAWKON app – its great for letting you know when radiation exposure is high an reminds you to talk safely
Kids nowadays have their own phone for themselves
You are so right. I talk to people every day who were fine, and then a Smart Meter, cell tower or some other new EMF source overloaded their system, and even after the meter was removed, or they moved, they were still having issues. Many have found that a BioElectric Shield, or other radiation protection device has helped them get back to normal.
Not if but AS the earth decible is six percent and tinnitus starts at sixteen percent ringing in the ears (particle smashing) is the answer power or volume? Not if AS this Is this a global or earth standard (issue) (constitution) the human communication may might simplely solved with a city hall and a poll.
"Electro sensitive"? You couldn’t come up with something better could you?
Not hard to test the radiation field around each user. Microwaves slow cook your brain. Far more retrogressive than the trendy foot x-ray machines they used to have in shoe stores. Cell phone users rapidly become physically addicted, cognitively impaired, suffer memory loss, early dementia, neurodegenerative decline, nerve & muscle diseases, autism Parkinson’s, MS.
Generation X-Ray’s well on the way to Generation Brain Damaged. This is literally a NO BRAINER. Go cold turkey before it’s too late
try a cell-repel, pretty useful!!
Have a look at the great products from PONG. (Pong Research) They have products that take these matters seriously, and at the same time deliver fantastic top quality products. You can read all about it on Pong Research’s webpage.
This person is wrong very very very very wrong and dumb cellphone radiation is nonionizing
Very good video you help me a lot thank you: D
Once again, CNN caters to the lowest common denominator. Cell phone radiation as a causal to cancer formation is less logical than homeopathy or a flat earth. There is no known physical mechanism for said "radiation" to causer cancer. I could make a strong argument for CFL’s causing cancer or wearing of winter hats.
Visible light has higher energy then radio waves hhhhmmmmmmm
The dangers of cell phone radiation exposure are something to be mindful about. As Dr. Gupta says, it takes years, even decades, before any real conclusions can be made. This is not unlike the tobacco issue.
Very good thought. You can’t pop corn too easy with a cell phone. You have to focus all the RF output on the popcorn to pop the corn. It may pop one kernel if you focus all the watts of RF output right. I checked my phone stats to see if it was in the ball park. But this puts it in perspective:
A typical phone like mine on the 1900 band puts out 1.1429 watts or .27 calories per second according to FCC ID specifications.
Look up the FCC ID for your phones to get a better estimate.
It takes 540 cal to completely boil off 1 cc or 1 gram of water. 1 cc is close to 1/5th teaspoon of water.
1 kernel of popcorn is about 1/10th gram.
If 540/10 = 54, then it takes approximately 54 cal to boil off 1 cc of water or pop 1 kernel of popcorn.
At 1.1429 watts my phone puts out .27 calories per second according to the FCC.. So then if 5 phones put out all their Radio frequency all at once, it could take approximately 40 seconds to pop a kernel of popcorn. And if one phone could pop a kernel of popcorn after about 3 minutes and 20 seconds next to a kernel.
If you talk a lot on the phone it may hurt after a lot. If all that RF output could put out 50 calories and cook a popcorn kernel after 3 to 4 minutes, No wonder they say too much might do some harm. We work with radios all the time.
But like iPhone manufacturers literature said, used wisely, wired headphones can keep the RF output away from you and doesn’t do as much damage. I like phones and I like ear buds. I’m keeping my phone.
Soooo since cell phones and Bluetooth took over, the world has seen head, hand, hip and arm cancers rise over 400% to date, and some of these were never heard of before the mid 90s 🤔 source that buddy
1:00 it also tells you the same for uhf/vhf handheld radios because humans are shit antennas and block reception. how is cnn still got followers with all its fake news
Not true Gupta. They actually DO know microwaves used for cell phones harm you. Military documents make it clear they are the sector which created these weaponized frequencies in the first place, to kill, maim, fast or slow. Russia under Putin has developed microwave oven frequencies as fully lethal weapons.
The solution is an earpiece? Like, a wireless one? I guess in theory it’s less radiation, but has anyone tested bluetooth to see if it’s actually less?
Now 5G is rolling out and EVERYBODY’S blaming coronavirus. Smdh. Wake up people.
Pong cases are excellent for reducing radiation. The RF3 headsets reduce radiation by 100% as they are an air tube head set without the copper wire. Most wired headsets do not have a filter to cut the radiation levels from phone to head. Check it out the company Mobile safety that specialises in anti radiation products.
You are smart. Indeed it does use electromagnetic radiation to transmit information. Instead, use an ethernet cord for your computer or android tablet. Apple tablets don’t allow wired connections btw…dangit apple!
first of all that was in no way .9 inches, it was closer to 6. I’m pretty sure quite a few people do keep their phone a bit away from their head. but sheesh its almost like he has to compensate for something… also, CITATIONS?? I realize that in this world you can just say "studies show" and 90% of people will blindly follow you, but I really hope that some people out there can see past this blatant attempt by out dated and failing industries (like headset manufacturers) to scare you into buying their stuff. furthermore, I don’t think that we can forsake a HUGE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT on the base that there isn’t "sufficient" evidence to call it 100% safe, while a puny and highly flawed argument surfaces to say otherwise. progress should be the given the benefit of the doubt, on top of an already stronger database.
not to be hypocritical, I will cite
the INTERPHONE study and The Danish cohort study
both released by the American cancer society as to say that there is no evidence of any ill effects generated by cell phones,
as well as an article published by CNN themselves giving the opinion of Bernard Leikind PhD, who is aa physicist. having researched and taught at the University of Maryland, UCLA, General Atomics and the Livermore Laboratory. written essays about the cell phone radiation controversy for the Skeptic, a publication of the Skeptics Society, a scientific and educational organization that examines controversial claims. and who pays T-Mobile about $40 a month for his cell phone service, which constitutes all of his financial dealings with cell phone companies.

Any parent providing a cellphone to their child without monitoring it and their child is a complete and total moron. You’ve provided an open door of communication from complete strangers into their lives… and you aren’t going to be a parent for that? Either do your job or don’t have children, they didn’t make the choice to be had, you made the choice to have them.
thanks
Stupid 6th grade assignment
Sanjay..when are you finally going to get it right..it is not about thermal heating any more…the tissues doesn’t need to be heated at all in order for dna to break..why do you insist on talking about this? IT is the frequencies that mess with us…heating is irrelevant.
“Let me be very clear. The Industry has NOT said once, not ONCE, that cell phones are safe.” – Dane Snowden, vice president & representative of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) at a safety legislation hearing in California. Every single smart meter is 40X stronger than a cell phone, surrounds the occupants in the structure, makes the home a microwave oven w/ occupants as the meat slow cooking in it. Take back your life & power. Use common law to refuse forced danger.
It IS the frequencies, even from other people’s phones, the wifi etc. At least he’s talking about the issue. But there’s so much more than Just your cell phone causing issues.
Holding a cell phone away from the head ignores the rest of the frequedncy equation, namely the triangulation of frequencies from all the cell towers pulled into the area by the cell phone. En route, the towers send frequencies through the brains &bodies of the cell user & others all around each cell user.Keeping phones one inch away from a brain that runs on bio-electricity is dangerous. Using an ear bud is even worse since this creates an antenna to direct frequencies deeper into the brain.
Airplane Mode. Still, the best excuss not to talk to people.
People inadvertently grant "Authority" consent to harm them. BACKWARDS: Utilities & telecom corporations are GIVEN immunity from ALL liability by statutory laws created by corrupt governments you elect, which shelter corporations from you. Take back any consent you have inadvertently given away. Claim/reclaim your rights, the ones you have had all along. Use common law to refuse s/meters. It’s the foundation of all English law.
