Cell Phones EMF Ways to Protect | Vidaband
Hearings about cell phone use (Cellphones aren't bad) if protected
The Ministry of Education (MOE) yesterday said it will soon convene a public hearing to discuss on whether it will impose a ban on schoolchildren under the age of 15 using cell phones on campuses in response to calls made by lawmakers and environmentalists. EMF
The calls came after a recent study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO)’s cancer experts classified radiation from cell phones as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” and called for more research into the effects of frequent, long-term use of mobile devices.
Citing the recent survey results released by the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Chen Jiau-hua , secretary-general of the Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control Association (TEPCA), asked to restrict young students using mobile phones in schools for health reasons. vidaband protects
She also urged the National Communications Commission (NCC) to request all mobile phone manufactures to clearly label the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of their products to aid customers looking to purchase phones which have a low-radiation exposure. vidaband
The SAR (EMF) is a measure of the rate at which radio-frequency energy is absorbed by the body.vidaband protects
In response to the suggestions, Liao Shuang-ching , a secretary in the Division of Environmental Protection Education, told the same press conference that currently all elementary and high schools have related regulations forbidding students from using cell phone during classes. vidaband protects
To further protect the health of young students from the possible threat of radiation exposure, the ministry will soon hold a public hearing (EMF), featuring related scholars, parents and representatives from local schools and hospitals, to discuss the possible ban. vidaband
Han Chen-hua, a NCC official said that the commission has asked mobile phone manufactures to place the SAR on their products’ labels since July, 2010. EMF
Currently all cell phones available on the local market have obeyed the regulations, Han said.
The IARC’s survey released earlier this week evaluated more than 900 possible triggers of cancer since 1971, and found 400 to be likely or possible cancer-causing agents. EMF
The agency’s determination that radio frequency electromagnetic fields are “possibly” carcinogenic results in categorizing cell phone radiation separately from agents the agency believes cause cancer or “probably” cause cancer. EMF
