Some of the most commonly asked FAQs about cell phone radiation- answered!

2. The radiation emitted from your phone is mainly caused by how much energy
the phone needs to use to pick up a signal. So, by using your phone is
Airplane Mode you are effectively mitigating the risks you may experience
from mobile phone usage.

5. The whole point of a cell phone is to radiate. That's how
it sends your voice to the cell phone tower.
To get a cell phone to stop radiating, you'd have to wrap
it entirely in aluminium foil. At which point you could just
stick a brick in your pocket instead, because the cell
phone would be useless.
It actually takes a few layers of aluminium foil to
attenuate the signal enough to be completely useless.

6. Any conversation where you hold something to your head in a generally
unnatural and uncomfortable position, and that lasts an hour (ie, probably
tiring and stressful) could cause a headache.
