Ever wondered if your phone is doing more to your body than just buzzing in your pocket?
Hey, Vicentinians! VARH is here to help you make informed choices about your health.
Todayโs topic: the potential effects our devices might have on our bodies beyond what we can see.

Your phone and laptop emit ๐๐๐๐ข๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐
-๐๐๐).
Research shows our bodies constantly interact with these invisible signals.
Four quick questions:
1. โ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐จ๐๐ค๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฆ?โ
Studies by ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ข & ๐๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ข (๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐) found that ๐ก๐๐๐ญ + ๐๐
-๐๐๐ exposure can affect reproductive function in laboratory studies.
The ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฌ are particularly vulnerable because they cannot efficiently dissipate excess heat.
2. โ๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐-๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ?โ
Research in ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ (๐๐๐๐) showed RF-EMR exposure can cause ๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ in cells. ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ!
3. โ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ?โ
While ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ (๐๐% ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐/๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ) have found ๐๐
-๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ decreased ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ in ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐, ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐. The ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ suggests ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ while more ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก is conducted. ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐: ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ.

4. โ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐, ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ?โ
Research indicates biological effects are ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐-๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ญ:
๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ + ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ = ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐

โ
Place your phone away from your bed at night.

While research is ongoing and human effects are still being studied, taking simple precautions doesnโt hurt.
Your body has its own signalsโwhy not be cautious?
