Rest assured, phone radiation does not affect people

Many people worry about using or always carrying mobile phones that can lead to cancer, especially brain cancer. In a recent study, scientists confirmed that phone radiation does not affect people.

When affected by ionizing radiation, DNA can be damaged and eventually lead to cancer. But radio frequency radiation, radiation emitted by mobile phones, has a much lower energy level than ionizing radiation emitted by X-rays, or a nuclear explosion. Today's research results confirm this.

Based on the research results of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) - a unit of the US National Institutes of Health on the safety of radiofrequency radiation emitted by users and customers' phones Hundreds of other studies, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confidently affirmed that the current limits on phone radiation are safe.

Currently, no research has yet to give clear evidence that radio frequency radiation is the cause of brain tumors, although researchers are still investigating further clarification.

Researchers at NTP exposed the entire body of mice in radiation rays for more than 9 hours a day, within two years. This level of exposure is much higher than what people will experience. And even with such unusually high levels of exposure, the connection between phone radiation and cancer is "quite vague."

According to the FDA, with the frequency of daily use of most adults, we have not seen an increase in phenomena such as brain tumors. And so far, researchers have yet to see a higher risk of cancer among phone users than non-users.
