Rising Concern on Cell phones Rising Concern on Cell phones & Electromagnetic Radiation& Electromagnetic Radiation

• Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation.

• Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) travels in space in the form of oscillating electric & magnetic fields

Page 3: Cell Phone and Cancer Risks

Around 50% of cell phone radiation can be absorbed by the head and body

Page 4: Cell Phone and Cancer Risks

Forms of EMRForms of EMR• Near Field Intensity (NFI) is the energy which is less than one wavelength from the source to the user.

• Far Field Intensity (FFI) Far Field Intensity (FFI) is defined as is defined as radiation more than one wavelength away from radiation more than one wavelength away from the source. This energy form is required for the source. This energy form is required for communication with the cell tower.communication with the cell tower.

Note Note - Exposure to NFI is the major cause for concern among physicians, scientists, & lawmakers who believe this exposure to

be a health hazard.

ConclusionBasis these scientific studies and research reports,

we have come to understand that there isn't any co-relation between marginal cell phone use and risk of cancer.
