A person is surrounded by various sources of radiation from birth, smartphones are not the most dangerous of them. This opinion was expressed by the Chinese physicist-engineer Shang Zhinan from Tsinghua University.

According to the scientist, there is still no evidence of a relationship between mobile phone radiation and the development of malignant tumors.

According to the classification of carcinogens According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, electromagnetic radiation is included in categories 2b and 3, along with pickled cucumbers and coffee.

However, Shan stressed, it is necessary to pay attention to carcinogens of the first category, since they can cause cancer. Among others, these include tobacco, sunlight, and car exhaust gases.

As for the strong radiation from the phone when the charge is low, according to the Chinese Physicist, the radiation power depends mainly on the working condition of the gadget and increases when talking or transferring data, which does not happen at night when the smartphone is lying on a pillow or bedside table next to us.

Shan advised to use headphones during long calls to reduce the harmful effects of radiation on the head.

The engineer also stated that living near the base station does not affect health. Contrary to myths, radiation near it is minimal.
