Radiation and the iPhone
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 08:00 AM
"In the smartphone wars Apple's iPhone can claim to be far, far healthier than Research In Motion's BlackBerry devices, at least in terms of radiation..."
According to the EWG (US Environmental Working Group), RIM, Motorola and T-Mobile have the top ten worst phones in terms of exposure to radiation. They did say, however, that all phones are within the limits established internationally, but that consumers should consult their list and purchase phones with the lowest radiation emissions. That is if they want to be safe. The limit is 2W/Kg, and the iPhone scored just under with 1.19 W/Kg. Another reason to use Bluetooth I suppose.
