Hi, wondering what radiation exposure there is from a cell phone which is on but not talking.?


Left a turned-on cell phone by accident on the side of the bed where i was sleeping today for about 6 hours, right next to my head on the pillow. The phone was on but no calls. Does it transmit continuously in such a situation or only periodically to keep on the network, or not transmit at all?

Particularly, i was interested in the amount of radiation a cell phone emits when on and talking versus when on but not talking.

Mobile phone radiation and health concerns have been raised, especially following the enormous increase in the use of wireless mobile telephony throughout the world (as of August 2005, there were more than 2 billion users worldwide). This is because mobile phones use electromagnetic waves in the microwave range. These concerns have induced a large body of research (both epidemiological and experimental, in non-human animals as well as in humans). Concerns about effects on health have also been raised regarding other digital wireless systems, such as data communication networks.

The World Health Organization has concluded that serious health effects (e.g. cancer) are very unlikely to be caused by cellular phones or their base stations[4][5], and expects to make recommendations about mobile phones in 2007鈥?8.

i didn't get what is ur problem...but i think u shouldn't put beside your cellphone while sleeping because it may affect your brain... about receiving no phone calls, i think it is just the network...
