Re: Radiation with Phones turned off?

every second of every minute of every hour of every day you are being bombarded with:

(From the Sun)
Gamma Radiation
Ultraviolet Radiation
Specifically also Alpha particles, Beta Particles, Positrons and photons

(from Earth's Natural Resources)
Alpha Particles and Positrons (Often from nearby decaying organisms and rocks etc.)
Typical Electromagnetic fields on the Earth

(From Manmade Technology)

Microwaves (Just like in your cellphone, every time you run the thing or someone does nearby)
Radio Waves (Tons of 'em from TV, Radio, Satellites, WiFi, Bluetooth. Even if you are not running it, people who have them on, your routers/bluetooth devices elsewhere, even the 3 mile radius of a cell tower)
alpha particles/positrons (Leave near a nuclear power plant? Say 50 mile radius)
Electrical Cables emit their own fields

In Conclusion, Don't worry; Be Happy!


Note: Though a large portion of said radiation is blocked by our atmosphere, walls, doors, even thin paper, the minute amounts still hit us. The notation is not to be worried unless you're the tin foil hat kind of person, in which case you might as well panic.
