Is Cell Phone Radiation Safe?

[Randy]

The radiation emitted by cell phones, known as radiofrequency (RF) radiation, is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). 97% of Americans used cell phones in Apr. 2021, up from 35% in 2011.

People who say cell phones are safe point to statements by the FCC and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and peer-reviewed studies that conclude cell phone use is not associated with an increased risk of brain tumors or the onset of other health problems. They contend there has been no increase in brain tumor rates despite hundreds of millions of people now using cell phones.

Are you concerned about cell phone radiation? Do you think cell phones are safe?

To be honest I am not really too concerned with it. Does anyone think I should be?

Not a big concern to me. I know there's a lot of conspiracy theories about 5G radiation, etc., etc. but most of it is unfounded.

I guess we'll find out in 10 or 20 years
