Cell Phone Radiation Shields

With the increasing popularity of mobile phones around the world, it is no wonder that people have started questioning the safety of these devices.

Mobile phones are two-way radios that transmit and receive information via radio waves, also known as radio frequency (RF) energy. Whenever the user makes a phone call, his voice is encoded into radio waves and transmitted through the antenna to a nearby base station. These radio waves are at the heart of the controversy over cell phone safety.

Radio waves are just one of the many forms of electromagnetic energy that form the electromagnetic spectrum. Other types, including gamma rays, x-rays and light, also belong to this spectrum. They differ from radio waves in terms of wavelength and frequency.

There's concern that this may pose health risks. This question is being addressed by ongoing scientific studies. While most scientists agree that there's no proof of greater risk, it makes sense to minimize your exposure.

If you want to be on the safe side, the easiest way to minimize the radiation you are exposed to is to position the antenna as far from your head as possible. Utilizing a hands-free kit, a car-kit antenna or a cell phone whose antenna is even a couple of inches farther from the head can do this most effectively.

Another way is using a radation shield. Attaches in seconds and fits under removable cell phone fascias. One size fits all mobiles.
