Physicist RTU MIREA Nazarenko: a smartphone is able to measure electromagnetic radiation in a house of Physics and Mathematics, Head of the Department of Quality Management and Certification of the Russian Technological University MIREA Maxim Nazarenko, writes “Prime”.
According to the expert, Russians usually fix from “30 to 100 millitesla” in their homes. He urged to take into account the direction of orientation of the smartphone, as this affects the readings. “For some applications, it is not possible to guess how to turn the smartphone in order to get maximum or minimum readings if there is a tower with cellular emitters in line of sight,” the specialist explained.
He recalled that the smartphone is able to measure values near various appliances. For example, a microwave oven 20 centimeters away from a smartphone can emit radiation up to one tenth of a millitesla. This is twice as large as the Earth's magnetic field.
Previously, scientists said that a smartphone can have a negative impact on human health, including sleep. It is a source of radio-magnetic radiation, but you should not be afraid of devices.
