The Environmental Working Group - an organization that studies the health implications of using cell phones has recently published a list of all major cell phones and the exact amount of radiation that each phone produces.

The study of course ranks the Worst Ten phones - that produce the most amount of radiation. The list is available here: Environmental Working Group Radiation List all Phones.

However an even more practical list coming out of the EWG is a short list of Eight Safety tips that any cell phone user can follow to reduce exposure to the radiation emitted by all cell phones.

Here they are in summary - but please click here to visit their web site and read the Safety Tips for yourself.

1.  Buy a low radiation phone
2. Use a headset or a speaker
3. Listen More - Your phone only emits radiation when you talk
4. Hold phone away from your body when possible
5. Text more - Talk less - texting uses less power and the phone is away from your head when you text
6. Don't TALK When You Have a Poor Signal - poor signal causes the phone to emit more radiation
7. Limit Children's Exposure - young people's brains absorb up to twice the radiation of an adult brain (skull thickness higher in adults)
8. Don't waste your time with "Radiation Sheilds" such as covers, antennae caps - they often cause your phone to emit more radiation
