With cell phone use skyrocketing and dramatic increase in penetration of household appliances worldwide, some scientists recommend common-sense precautionary measures to reduce potential damage from electromagnetic radiation. For example, walk away from Microwave ovens while they are on. Press firmly and close the copier cover completely while making copies. And from the topic of our discussion: Avoid excessive or extended conversations on cell phones. They advise using cellular phones only to transmit brief and pertinent information. Our modern technology may be causing an increase of our modern day illnesses. However, EMR is everywhere and we cannot hide from it. Radiation is in your home, office, car, against your body, below your feet, and above your head. Keeping it at the minimum possible level is our best defense.
Are you at risk from Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)? Do the test below and in two minutes you will know:
STEP 1: Answer the questions below. Instructions: Reply in "Hours" only. Example: 15 Mins. = 0.25 Hr., 30 Mins = 0.50 Hr., 60 Mins = 1 Hr.
Question 1: How many hours per day do you carry a cell phone on standby?:
Multiply entered amount by 90 milligauss =
Question 2: How many hours per day do you talk on your mobile phone?:
Multiply entered amount by 1500 milligauss =
Question 3: How many hours per day in front of a computer monitor?:
Multiply entered amount by 40 milligauss =
Question 4: How many hours per day talking on your home cordless phone?:
Multiply entered amount by 30 milligauss =
Question 5: How many hours per day are you in your car or truck?:
Multiply entered amount by 30 milligauss =
Question 6: How many hours per day do you use your microwave oven?
Multiply entered amount by 1500 milligauss =
Question 7: How many hours per day in airports and planes?:
Multiply entered amount by 1500 milligauss =
Question 8: How many hours per day do you use a power tool or hairdryer?:
Multiply entered amount by 600 milligauss =
Question 9: How many hours per day using a photocopy machine or similar?:
Multiply entered amount by 400 milligauss =
STEP 2: Total up your estimated usage in the right column and divide by 8 using a calculator. Result: The resulting total is the approximate amount of electromagnetic radiation your body absorbs per hour in one day in an 8 hour day. Up to 1 milligauss continual radiation exposure is regarded as safe, anything above 1 milligauss places you in the danger zone.
About Carl Gauss:
Carl Gauss (1777–1855) was a German mathematician and astronomer. Gauss is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. His work on the theory of numbers, published in 1801, is one of the most brilliant achievements in the history of mathematics. Gauss was also a pioneer in applying mathematics to gravitation, electricity, and magnetism. The gauss was named in his honor in 1882. One Gauss is one centimeter-gram-second unit of magnetic induction. One milligaus (from the reference in the test above) is one thousandth of a gauss.
About SAR (Specific Absorption Rate):
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones and Devices Available at FCC Web Site. To view SAR rates for various cell phone makes and models, Click here.
