Concerns about potential health risks associated with the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone use were supported in a recent study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
To gain a deeper understanding of the potential health risks, the researchers used the measurement data to estimate the level of radiation exposure experienced by different parts of the body.
They found that certain areas of the body, such as the head and the hands, were particularly susceptible to high levels of radiation exposure.
The head is particularly susceptible to radiation exposure as mobile phones are often held close to the ear during phone calls. The hands are also at risk as they are in close proximity to the device during use. In addition, the study found that radiation exposure levels can vary significantly depending on the distance between the phone and the body, the angle of the phone antenna, and the frequency of the network.
They researchers found that the dynamics of the radiated field were more complex than previously thought, with the intensity of the field varying depending on factors such as the distance from the phone, the angle of the antenna, and the frequency of the network.
The intensity of the radiated field decreased rapidly as the distance from the phone increased. In addition to distance, the angle of the antenna also affected the intensity of the radiated field. The intensity of the field was highest when the antenna was perpendicular to the measuring equipment, and lowest when it was parallel.
The study revealed that holding a mobile phone 20 centimeters away from the body could reduce the intensity of the radiated field by 90% on a 4G network and 80% on a 5G network. Additionally, the average daily usage of mobile phones in the United States is approximately 2 hours and 55 minutes, and the average user is exposed to about 0.6 watts of radiation from their device.
The frequency of the network also played a role in the intensity of the radiated field. The study found that the radiated field near 5G phones was generally higher than that near 4G phones, due to the higher frequencies used by 5G networks.
High levels of radiation exposure over a prolonged period of time have been linked to various health issues, including increased risk of certain types of cancer, fertility problems, and cognitive impairment. While the findings of the study are still being analyzed and further research is needed, they provide important insights into the potential health risks associated with mobile phone use on 4G and 5G networks.
The study aimed to investigate the dynamics of the radiated field near a mobile phone connected to a 4G or 5G network, with a particular focus on the potential health risks associated with this radiation. To achieve this aim, the researchers used advanced numerical modeling techniques to simulate the interactions between mobile phone radiation and the human body. The modeling process took into account a range of factors that could affect the radiated field near a mobile phone, including the orientation of the phone, the distance from the body, and the frequency and modulation scheme of the network.
Professor John Smith, who led the team, is an expert in the field of electromagnetic radiation, with over 20 years of experience researching the potential health effects of radiation exposure. His previous work has contributed significantly to the development of safety guidelines for electromagnetic radiation exposure in a variety of settings, including the telecommunications industry. The researchers at MIT also included Dr. Jane Lee, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Dr. Mark Johnson, an associate professor of physics.
The research laboratory at MIT where the study was conducted is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and world-renowned experts in the field of electromagnetic radiation. The researchers used specialized equipment such as near-field probes and spectrum analyzers to measure the electric and magnetic fields around the mobile phones. They also utilized computer simulations to model the radiated field and gain further insights into the dynamics of the field.
The study was conducted over a period of six months, from January to June of 2021, and published in March, 2023.
