Although many individuals think nothing of radiation emitted by cell phones, or even believe it to be true, there is a large amount of evidence showing how damaging cell phone use can actually be. In response to the released information and growing fear of cell phone radiation, a company has ironically released a mobile app which reportedly measures radiation levels emitted by smart phones.
儘管許多人認為手機不會發出輻射，或甚至相信它是真的，有大量的證據顯示手機使用其實可以如何破壞。在回應被發放的信息和不斷增長的手機輻射恐懼，一間公司已諷刺地發放一移動的應用程序，那據報導量度智能手機釋出的輻射水平。

公司創造輻射探測器的應用輭件，蘋果從應用輭件士多禁制它
Company Creates Radiation Detector App, Apple Bans it from App Store
The app was created by an Israeli company named Tawkon, and while not necessarily brand new, it is relatively unknown. The lack of popularity probably has much to do with Apple’s banning of the app from their online app store since Apple rules the smartphone market. The company instituted the ban because it felt the app would be confusing to customers, though the ban was likely due to the fact that the app could only decrease sales for Apple’s iPhone. Whether Apple’s decision was driven by profit or not, there are some valid questions and concerns regarding the app’s accuracy.
應用輭件是由一家名為Tawkon的以色列公司創建，和儘管不一定是全新的，它是相對地不知名的。缺乏普及可能是與蘋果公司從他們的在線商店禁制該應用程序有很大關係，因為蘋果統治了智能手機市場。該公司提起禁令因為它感到該應用程序會令客戶困惑，雖然該禁令可能是由於事實應用程序只有可能降低蘋果的iPhone銷售。無論蘋果公司的決定是由利潤驅動或不是，有一些有效的問題和關注有關該應用程序的準確性。
Using a complex proprietary algorithm, Tawkon estimates the amount of radiation emitted by cell phones at any moment. As a way to measure the amount of radiation being emitted and ultimately picked up by the user, the company considers factors like current antenna strength, and whether a headset is being used or speakerphone is currently selected. The problem, however, is that the app depends on radiation baseline figures provided by device manufacturers. The app itself has no way of actually measuring radiation emissions, so it must rely on the publicly posted radiation emission quotes by manufacturers in order to estimate a device’s radiation output at all times.

Even if the app does rely on the figures from manufacturers, the creation of the app is a step in the right direction. Cell phone use has been shown to cause numerous problems and health complications by altering important regions of the brain. Consequences ranging from a negative influence on fetal brains to the downfall of biological systems of birds, insects, and humans has been pinpointed as a result of these devices and their respective towers (cell towers). What’s most concerning, though, is the impact they have on young, developing minds and bodies. Tons of evidence shows why children should not be using cell phones.

Although completely limiting exposure is nearly impossible, taking steps to avoid exposure to cell phone radiation is important. Simply talking on your cell phone less will result in less radiation exposure. Even placing your cell phone far away from you instead of in your pocket at all times limits exposure. You may also consider investing in an EMF protector or other similar technologies that limit exposure.
