How harmful is cell phone radiation? Well protected from electromagnetic fields!
What is cell phone radiation? Cell phones and smartphones have become an integral part of our everyday lives.
On the one hand, this is very practical, but on the other, it is not without its dangers.
How much radiation does a cell phone actually emit?
Is cell phone radiation harmful?
And how can you really protect yourself from possible risks?
Here you can find out everything you need to know about cell phone radiation.
What kind of radiation can be emitted by cell phones?
Different types of radiation come together in a cell phone:
- On the one hand, it is of course a device that emits electromagnetic radiation and can therefore increase electrosmog.
- Secondly, the cell phone connects to the nearest cell phone mast via high-frequency electromagnetic radio waves.
This is done via various standards: GSM, UMTS, LTE and, more recently, increasingly via 5G technology.
This generates radio waves, which are usually referred to as cell phone radiation, especially when making phone calls. -
And finally, smartphones are also very often connected to the WLAN, so their use also increases WLAN radiation.
As more and more cell phones are being registered and many people want good reception and stable Internet throughout the country, more and more mobile phone masts are needed and being built.
For 5G, the density of expansion will continue to increase significantly because the 5G frequencies of the individual masts do not reach that far.
The rule is: the higher the frequency, the shorter the range.
How many masts are needed also depends on the number of people who use them.
The intensity and frequency of use is also decisive.
The more cell phones want to access the network at the same time, the denser the system needs to be.
This is why there is significantly more cell phone radiation in large cities than in rural areas.
When is cell phone radiation particularly strong?
Cell phone radiation is particularly pronounced when you are using your cell phone.
Radiation levels are very high, especially when establishing a connection.
You should therefore only hold the phone to your ear when it rings.
Then the cell phone establishes the connection and the radiation exposure decreases.
Even if the reception is poor and the cell phone is trying hard to connect, the radiation increases particularly sharply.
This is why you should not make unnecessarily long calls when reception is poor.
But even if you are not using your cell phone, the radiation exposure can be very high.
This is especially true in large cities.
The so-called SAR value of the cell phone is also decisive.
The higher this value is, the more cell phone radiation is produced.
You should therefore look for a low SAR value when buying a new device to reduce your exposure to radiation.
Incidentally, radiation protection films, which are sometimes sold to protect against cell phone radiation, can exacerbate the problem.
They do indeed block some of the radiation through absorption.
However, this worsens the reception and the cell phone adapts to this by increasing the radiation intensity.
That’s why we at VIVOBASE take a different approach: instead of switching off the radiation, our devices build up a natural field as a protective shield.
We explain how this works in more detail here.
How can cell phone radiation affect humans and animals?
As early as 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified radiation in the frequency range of cell phone radiation as potentially carcinogenic.
There is still no real proof of this danger.
But there are a whole series of studies that suggest a connection between cell phone radiation and the risk of illness.
Cell phone radiation can also be harmful in other ways.
For example, a possible link between cell phone radiation and infertility is suspected.
A possible change in genetic make-up is also being discussed intensively by experts.
In addition, many people report that they get headaches, concentration problems or mood swings in the vicinity of cell phones and that their sleep quality suffers.
Possible causes include the water molecules in the body, which are set into harmful oscillation by electromagnetic radiation – similar to a microwave.
As a result, the cells can no longer be adequately supplied with nutrients, which can lead to the symptoms mentioned above.
How can we protect ourselves from cell phone radiation at home and on the move?
Many people don’t want to do without the convenience of modern technology, but still want to protect themselves from electromagnetic pollution.
This is exactly why we at VIVOBASE have developed a technology that allows you to shield yourself from electrosmog and cell phone radiation.
With our devices, you create a natural sferics field.
It acts like a protective shield on all living beings, which are made of water.
This can reduce the symptoms.
These tips will also help you to keep your exposure to cell phone radiation as low as possible:
- Don’t talk on the phone for too long!
Either keep calls short or use a headset or the room loudspeaker if it does take longer! - If reception is poor, you should keep calls particularly short.
- If possible, do not carry your cell phone in your trouser pocket or close to your body, but in a bag or rucksack!
The further away from your body you carry it, the better. - Do not cover the antenna of your cell phone when making calls, otherwise it will radiate even more to compensate for the poor reception.
Don’t know where the antenna is on your phone?
The operating instructions for the device or a Google search will quickly help. - At night, you should put your cell phone as far away from your bed as possible, banish it completely from the bedroom or set it to flight mode.
Then it will no longer send out radio signals and you will be better protected at night.
Incidentally, the alarm function also works in flight mode. -
If you don’t need a network on your smartphone at the moment, switch off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth!
This avoids a lot of radiation, especially when making phone calls.
How can we also protect our animals from cell phone radiation?
When it comes to cell phone radiation and humans, there are still not enough conclusive studies on safety.
The number of studies on animals is even more limited.
However, it can be strongly assumed that the animal organism reacts very similarly to cell phone radiation and electrosmog as the human organism.
This means that the same measures can also help.
Our protective devices are available in different versions: You can plug them into the socket or take them with you as a mobile device for when you are out and about.
Pets that live in your home or are in your vicinity are also protected.
You can protect stables, enclosures, riding facilities or similar places with VIVOBASE ANIMAL.
Our specialists have developed this device especially for the protection of animals.
It creates a natural field with a radius of around 40 meters, works through walls and ceilings and is also splash-proof.
You can simply surface-mount it in the barn to protect your animals from electromagnetic radiation.
