Keep That Device AWAY From Your Body

Every Day I Speak to audiences I remind them to carry their mobile device in an external holster or other (handbag, napsack, etc).

A recent article I found in August:

Manufacturers of many popular cell phones already warn consumers to keep their device away from their body: The Apple iPhone 4 safety manual says “When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission… keep iPhone at least 15 millimeters (5/8 inch) away from the body.”; BlackBerry Bold advises users to “keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inch (25 millimeters) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting.” This can also apply to carrying the phone against your body, in pockets or holsters located near clusters of lymph nodes such as in the groin. There is some suggestion that lymphomas can develop when these delicate tissues are exposed to forms of radiation.
