How to Protect Yourself From EMFs Coming From Your Smartphone
Smartphones are a great invention—they make it easier than ever to stay connected and keep in touch with friends and family. But they also make it much more convenient to stay connected, too. Smartphones today can be used for so many things, like taking photos or checking email. They’re even being used as a way to keep track of important medical information, such as from a blood test or scan. Since smartphones contain tiny amounts of radiation that is generated within their own circuitry, the small amount of radiation coming from your device isn’t enough to cause any harm. That said, it can still affect you. If you spend a lot of time around your phone or use it frequently throughout the day (e.g., to check notifications or reply to messages), you could develop what’s called smartphone dependency —meaning that you feel anxious or restless if you aren’t constantly using your phone just to have something else with you. Even if you don’t display these symptoms yet, there is still a chance that spending excessive time around your device could have an adverse effect on your mental health over time. However, most people don’t experience these side effects because the small amount of radiation coming from your smartphone is not enough to cause harm (i.e., non-ionizing radiation).
