Blackberry, Motorola phones high on radiation emission |
Blackberry and Motorola mobile phones emit higher levels
of radiations compared to other handsets, a new study has revealed. The online
report by The Environmental Working Group has ranked 1,200 mobile phones on the
basis of their radiation emissions, measured as specific absorbtion rate (SAR),
in a bid to draw attention to the risks of using cell phones. Motorola's Moto
VU204 has aced the list of high radiation emitting phones, while Motorola phones
featured in the top bracket. Blackberrys and Apple iPhone 3G S were placed at
the top of the smartphone category. The Samsung Impression and the Motorola RAZR
V8 were found to be the safest phones. According to The Sydney Morning Herald,
the EWG has called upon the mobile phone manufacturers to provide information
on the SAR levels of phones to potential customers " . . .because cell phones
have become a virtual necessity, we're convinced that it's smart to buy devices
with lower emissions, until the public health research catches up with these amazing
products." The EWG has linked brain tumours and other health disorders to the
constant use of mobile phones, however, handset manufactures like Motorola have
rubbished all links between heath risks and the use of cell phones. The company
has said: "All Motorola mobile phones comply with national and international safety
guidelines for radio-frequency energy exposure. These standards provide wide margins
of protection for users and the general public. "Although SAR values for products
vary, all SAR values for Motorola products are within safe exposure limits, and
all products are considered equally safe." |
