Report says sleeping near smartphones can cause cancer and infertility
If you are keeping your mobile phone right next to you while sleeping than it might be the worst place to keep it. As a recent guidance released by the California Department of Health, people need to place their smartphones as far as possible while they are sleeping in order to decrease the risk.
The department claims that keeping the smartphone anywhere closer than arm’s length can lead to cancer and infertility. Various similar reports have come out in the past few years that smartphones are causing radiation. This guidance follows cities like San Francisco and Berkeley, where officials have warned the risk of sleeping near one’s smartphone.
Dr. Devra Davis, an official of Environment Health Trust, says “Keeping a phone directly on the body has never been a good idea.”
Mobile phones use radiofrequency to transmit information, which, although is low, might be exposing us to harmful radiation. If this claim is true than various reports which state that smartphones even normal usage can cause radiation.
Even Apple includes a radiofrequency exposure notice in its smartphones’ setting and many other mobile manufacturers are agreeing to this issue.
Dr. Davis mentions, “Most People are not aware that there is a clear warning to keep the phone off the body embedded in the people. This is particularly worrisome because most parents aren’t aware of these warnings are not managing their children’s expo California Department of Health sure to phones.”
The notice from the California Department of Health clearly states that children have are at higher risk of being affected by radiation than adults and it can also harm brain development.
