Some scientific studies have, however, suggested that there may be increased health risks from exposure to RF energy. ![]() RF energy is not as powerful or as damaging to cells or DNA as some other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, such as X -rays. ![]() Cell phones also emit RF energy when using Wi -Fi and/or Bluetooth, but at lower levels. ![]() When a phone sends signals to a tower, the RF energy goes from the phone’s antenna out in all directions, including into the head and body of the person using the phone. Other sources of RF energy include cell phone towers, TV and radio transmitters, smart meters, and microwave ovens. These signals are a form of electromagnetic radiation called radiofrequency (RF) energy. What is RF energy? Cell phones work by sending and receiving signals to and from cell phone towers. State officials caution that studies link radiation and RF energy exposure from long-term cell phone use to an increased risk of brain cancer, lower sperm counts and other health problems, and note that children’s developing brains could be at greater risk. Last month, California officially issued groundbreaking guidelines advising cell phone users to keep phones away from their bodies and limit use when reception is weak. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to get very serious about cell phone safety.
