The WHO, through its consultants and experts on the subject, has launched a survey on the so-called “new invisible pollution”. We are talking about the electromagnetic one of the new generation, and more precisely of smartphones and tablets. In other words, the multimedia accessories that we abuse most for work or for passion, during the day. The Lazio TAR also moved in Italy, through a recent request for information from the Ministries of Health and Education. Without creating alarmism, however, it is right that the bodies in charge try to know any risks to our health. And, in the matter of cell phones, let’s remember to always do this when we call for the sake of our health.
Change ears
While waiting to actually know whether or not there are any real dangers in the electromagnetic fields of smartphones and tablets, let’s remember not to make endless calls. Above all to alternate the ears, also because, as we wrote in another article to which we refer, the lack of field increases the radiation. When we are in the car, then, few know that the so-called “Faraday cage“. It is a physical phenomenon whereby the radiation from smartphones remains trapped in the iron body of the car. And, they don’t come out.
Minimum safety distance
Remember to always do this when calling for the sake of our health, but also to keep a minimum safe distance. Although fortunately there are still no scientific correlations or proven links, we remind you of:
- do not keep the phone too long in the pockets of trousers, jackets and shirts;
- never keep the mobile phone switched on on the nightstand or on the bed, or in any case too close to the head;
- we try to use earphones as much as possible;
- when we are at home, for example at work in smartworking, we try to keep it hands-free and at least 50 cm away from the head, if used continuously.
Attention to our children
Finally, let’s remember to limit the use of tablets and smartphones to younger children. In fact, in addition to the risk to sight and addiction, electromagnetic waves attack children more, due to their lack of physical development which is still incomplete. We refer our readers to the in-depth study on smartphones.
