Cell phone radiation: the long terms effects

The debate over the harmful effects of microwave radiation is about to heat up again. A report issued by the Environmental Working Group has linked cell phone radiation to a number of nasty health problems.

Phone radiation levels
An interesting accompaniment is a chart of radiation output of all common cell phone models. The worst offenders on the list seemed to come from Motorola, whilst Nokia and Samsung generally reside in the lower end of the scale. A number of the popular smart phones were also pretty near to the upper limits, but then again, other popular smart phones weren’t.

The top 10 lists are as follows, according to TechRepublic:

In collaboration with Toyota, two artists from Poetic Kinetics have created the mobile Solar Flower Lounge.

These Flower Lounges are for the fast paced and connected modern world, visitors can enjoy the magical offerings of free solar power and Wi-Fi. Each of these lounges has a seating capacity for about 10 people. The solar panels in the flower petals provide charge to the 110V outlets, and the flower head emits a wireless 3G connection.

Also thanks to internal batteries, the Flower Lounge functions at night, with LEDs illuminating the general Flower Lounge area. Toyota is considering sponsoring permanent versions due to the positive public response.
