Absolutely! I'd love to share my findings from my own RF meter: I tested dozens of 'usual' devices, and I can say with complete confidence that the data connection on a mobile phone, when in close proximity to the body (in a pocket, held to the ear), is 99% of an average individuals exposure. Its transmission is so strong that it absolutely dwarfs everything else, at least 1-2 orders of magnitude stronger than being 100ft away from a cell tower even. I'm sure you and your friend are aware of the brain and breast tumors that are being attributed to smart phones. Since most people don't have an RF meter, I can offer one simple way to significantly reduce your risk: Do NOT hold your phone to your head or keep it in your pocket if you have 1) mobile data and/or 2) advanced calling turned on. With those two turned off, I still use speakerphone. But with those two features on, every single phone I tested at close range (in contact with the body) emits what appears to me to be a higher level of RF than what is allowed by law, and at least 100x more than other every day household tech I tested.Thanks, for the info, this is going to the top of my mods list...
I have a friend who started a business helping people identify intrusive RF signals in their home as it has been associated with all kinds of health issues. Here we are in America pushing 5g while Europe and other countries are pulling it out of schools and other public places. I personally do not want additional RF signals penetrating my body and brain as I take a two day cross country trip. If I need wifi for something I will temp enable a hot spot on my phone.
By the way, for those who don't know, you can download music, gps routes, etc to your phone and turn off wifi/data if you want to take a break from it. We all survived in the past without it.... now it's being pushed like its a "NEED"
I work in IT and I hate all of the wifi, bluetooth, RF signals that are flowing through the air....
and don't get me started about electronics in simple appliances like dishwashers, refrigerators, etc...
I agree that limiting your exposure wherever you can is a good thing, we don't need to be bathed in RFR all day long. And I think most people can feel a little more at ease by just being aware that close proximity to the phone's data connection is by far our largest point of exposure.
