Cell Phone in Back Pocket: Evidence, Radiation Exposure, Heat Effects, and Practical Risk Reduction
The practice of storing a mobile phone in a back pocket raises two main health questions: (1) potential exposure of nearby tissues to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields from the device and (2) potential local effects from heat and pressure. While smartphones emit non-ionizing RF energy rather than ionizing radiation, the distinction is crucial for interpreting… Read More »
