  Is it safe? Thinking of phone radiation

    It's a valid question that I get from time to time but if you are someone who usually uses a phone away from your ear in speaker mode then to set your mind at ease you may wish to set the phone to flight mode when using Acidik which should disable the radio. The reality is that there should be less radiation than using your phone during a call anyway as the phone radio wont be in the higher output transmit mode.

      Thanks for replying. Good answer

    What do you mean?

    Do you think phone radiation gives you cancer?
    It's just Radio waves, they do not interact with DNA, you're completely safe in that regard.

      Proof?

        Use Google or alternatively: learn a little bit about the electromagnetic spectrum sometime.

        Here's a source:
        Use this one:

        http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/ra…

        Or this one:

        http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/radiationexposurea…

        "Radiofrequency (RF) radiation, which includes radio waves and microwaves, is at the low-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to ionize (remove charged particles such as electrons). RF radiation has lower energy than some other types of non-ionizing radiation, like visible light and infrared, but it has higher energy than extremely low-frequency (ELF) radiation."

        But don't take my word for it: actually look at the scientific documentation yourself

        But you wouldn't want to stand directly in front of a radar or high output radio antenna for any length of time as you may start feeling a little toasty inside.

        @flerple: so you still cannot link to proof that it is safe in humans.

        @flerple:
        Actually if you fully read that cancer.org page they are basically saying that the jury is still out on a cancer link with regards to RF radiation under certain circumstances.

        I should probably clarify:

        It's non-ionising Radiation.
        It's not able to directly damage DNA, the waves are too big. You need to worry about EM Waves that are about the same size as DNA (i.e. UV), they can directly damage DNA and cause cancer.

        We are actually constantly surrounded by radio waves at all times, they are perfectly safe to be around (as far as the scientific consensus).

        I shouldn't say they absolutely don't cause cancer, however the scientific consensus seems to point out that it's not likely given the research.

        Here are some science threads you can use to educate yourselves:

        I'd wager you wouldn't be leaving your 4G hotspot modem in the crib next to your newborn on a free data weekend while you upload a couple of hundred gig to the cloud.
        Why? Because it's not proven to be safe.

        Of course I would, had I either of those things.

        From everything I've read regarding this: it's not dangerous to humans.

        Wifi and radio waves are non-ionising, the waves cannot interact with DNA, they are too large.

        We are constantly penetrated at all times by radio waves just from being in the vicinity of modems, wifi, cell phones, etc.
        So why are you not worried about that?

        @flerple:
        We can agree to disagree on what constitutes proof or even scientific consensus.
