New Delhi:
A World Health Organization panel has concluded that cell phones are "possibly carcinogenic,'' putting the popular devices in the same category as certain dry cleaning chemicals and pesticides, as a potential threat to human health.
A panel representative also noted that using a hands-free during a conversation or communicating via text message would be options for lowering radio frequency exposure.
Here are some tips to reduce exposure to mobile radiations:
- Use a wired headset to minimise the waves hitting you
- Talk on a speakerphone whenever possible
- Don't wear Bluetooth continuously
- Avoid using phone in enclosed areas
- Hold phone little away while talking
- Send text messages
