Cell phone radiation and its potential effects on the human body has been a long-standing concern for many consumers, despite numerous studies that state that there are no health risks associated with cell phone use.
A new study published by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health examines the issue from another angle, finding that the low-level electromagnetic fields generated by the radio transmitters in mobile phones, broadcasting transmitters and other communications equipment are all below the thresholds recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The thresholds are set fifty times lower than the minimum value of electromagnetic radiation required to heat human tissue or stimulate nerve cells.
The committee assessed numerous possible health effects from the low-level electromagnetic fields and determined that there was zero evidence that low-level fields increase the risk of cancer, impair male fertility, can cause other reproductive damage, or has a chance of leading to other diseases or health effects.
