LOGICAL ANSWERS to Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is E.M.R.?
Answer: E.M.R. refers to Electromagnetic
Radio-frequency Radiation which is the potentially dangerous
frequency emitted by cellular or mobile phones. High frequency
ionizing forms of radiation exists as X-rays, Gamma rays
and forms of nuclear radiation known to be hazardous .
Non-ionizing radiation of lower frequency ionizing forms
such as early cell phones were thought to be safe. That
view has changed since cell phones and mobile phones have
grown in strength from low-level radio waves to high-level
microwaves. No scientific study has proven conclusively
that the use of cellular phones is hazardous to human
health, yet continued use of higher frequency phones could
adversely affect the central nervous system, diminish
the effectiveness of the immune system and facilitate
the development of cancer according to scientific research.
Perhaps this is why governments and health organizations
worldwide are spending millions of dollars towards on-going
research to determine the long term effects of exposure
to E.M.R from cellular and mobile phones.
Question: What is S.A.R.?
Answer: S.A.R. or Specific Absorption
Rate of Radiation is used to measure the amount of radiation
that the human body absorbs from any source, including
cellular phones. The F.C.C. (Federal Communications Commission)
sets limits as to what they deemed were safe levels of
radiation from cell phones. In the beginning when analog
phones were 800-900 MHZ of power, most of the cell phones
manufactured met these safe guidelines. However as manufacturers
raised the power of their phones up to 1800-2000MHZ and
analog was replaced by digital, the majority of the cell
phones now exceed the safe levels set by the F.C.C. In
fact the manufacturers continue to lobby to have the levels
raised, so they may keep increasing the power of the phones.
The highest S. A. R. in the body is in the ear, thus the
concern about excessive cell phone use and the strength
of the signal.
Question: How is S.A.R. measured on a cell phone?
Answer: When a call is made
or received there is a band of radiation from the antenna,
half of which disappears into space. The remaining radiation
is around the skull, face and ear area of the user and
runs through the circuitry of the phone when transmitting
the call. A dummy head is immersed in a gel-like solution
similar to body fluid and a cell phone is attached to
the ear. Readings are taken from the antenna to determine
the S.A.R. strength which will vary from phone to phone
and proximity to the closest signal tower.
Question: What is the difference between
a Radio Wave and a Microwave?
Answer: Radio Waves are low
levels of transmission power for signals to and from your
phone. These non-ionizing frequencies of radiation are
safe. However as signal strength grows from a few hundred
MHZ of power to beyond 800 MHZ, the electro-magnetic spectrum
increases and these waves become microwaves. For example,
the older mobile house and office phones were a few hundred
MHZ of radio waves but the farther you moved from the
base, the weaker the signal became and you would lose
the call or it would break up. Now mobile phones are 900MHZ
to 2.4GIGS or more of power so you do not lose the calls
as you travel from room to room or go outside, but your
phone is now into Microwaves/infrared waves of radiating
power.
Question: Is it true that radiation comes from the antenna?
Answer: Yes, as we explained
in the S.A.R. question, there is a band of radiation around
your head from the antenna half of which disappears into
space. However the skull is hard and there are calcium
deposits for some protection. The most vulnerable area
for radiation is the soft tissue of the inner ear where
most of the reports of tumors have been reported. And
as we stated the highest incidence of S.A.R. in the body
is in the ear. We have found no reports of tumors on the
skull, chin, face or opposite side of the head, but mainly
behind the ear where the phone is placed when receiving
or transmitting a call.
