We predict many people do not take the necessary procautions to stay safe from excessive amounts of radiation from phones. We also predict phones and other technology contain radiation that could be damaging. 

   1            

Cell phones release low amounts of radiation when used. 

Radio frequency energy is the type of radiation expelled from phones.

As of current evidence there is no evidence that phones cause cancer or increase the risk of cancer in humans

Phone should be 3 feet away from bed when sleeping

Manipulated: the phone type, the device, the phone settings, the phone on, the phone off, the phone in use

Independant: The amount of radiation

Controlled: The environment, the distance between radiation tester and phone, 

Supplies- Radiation detector, controlled area, phone of any kind, logbook, pencil

Once in your controlled area (so that nothing will intercept the detector), use the radiation detector with the phone off, on airplane mode, brightness low and high, and any other variables you have chosen. Use the logbook to write down your results in EF, RF, and MF. 

There was more radiation detected when a cell phone was in use.

We have come to the conclusion that although the levels of radiation in our phones are overall safe, if one wants to take extra precautions, they should place there phone on a bedside table (or further) when sleeping, should put airplane mode on when sleeping, and that one might want to use speaker to keep away from possibly dangerous levels of radiation. Our everyday habits can have negative effects, and its never to late to prevent high radiation levels from affecting ourselves. 

Today, almost everyone in society owns some sort of electronic device, and most release radiation. This radiation is damaging to our bodies and can have long term negative effects on it. We decided to do this project to make everyone aware on the risks of having your phone to close to you at all times, or having it in your pocket.
