Phone Radiation
non-ionizing radio-frequency
Types of Radiation
Short Waves (SW) – range of frequencies: 1.7 – 30 MHz
Wireless household telephones and microwave ovens – frequency ranges: 5.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 800-900 MHz.
Cellular communication networks, analog and digital mobile phones, and marine and aerospace radar.
WiFi and Bluetooth data communication– frequency ranges: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and others.
Very High Frequency (VHF) for radio broadcasting - range: 30-88 MHz
Long Waves (LW): frequencies lower than 300 kHz
Cancer
RF radiation: makes lab rats uniquely prone to a rare tumor called a schwannoma which affects a neuron called Schwann cell
