After so many news and reports that cellphone radiation is a serious problem to human health, the new research sponsored by the United States Government and conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) says that the cellphone radiation will probably not slay you.

However, it is wise to apply common sense and take certain precautions to keep health intact. The studies used mice who were exposed to radio frequency radiation (RFR), like the type that is emitted from cellphones and microwave ovens. “If there is a risk, it is small,” said the NTP’s senior scientist Dr. John Bucher.

The mice who were open to RFR were in the same health as those who were not exposed, and some of those who were dosed with the radiation ended up living longer. Dr. Bucher still suggests that cellphone users reduce exposure by not jamming their handsets against their ears. The Doctor pointed out that this “dramatically reduces your radiation exposure. Cellphone radiation diminishes dramatically with distance.”

It is also recommended that handsets be placed some distance away when users lay down to sleep. Dr. Bucher did say that there still is a case to be made for a human to be hurt by cellphone radiation under “high exposure conditions.”

“There is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk…the use of hands-free technology, such as wired and wireless headsets, is increasing and may decrease radio frequency exposure to the head and the brain.”-National Cancer Institute

Cellphone technologies are overseen in the U.S. by the SEC and the FDA. Speaking of the latter, the agency reviewed the studies and said;

“The current safety limits for cellphones are acceptable for protecting the public health.”
