Vienna Medical Association sets new "10 Medical Mobile Rules"
Here is the translation, and original follows in German:
• In principle: as little and make calls as short as possible - use a landline or write SMS. Children and teenagers under 16 years old should carry cell phones only for emergencies!
• "The distance is your friend" - the phone away or pay attention to the manufacturer's recommended in the manual distance during the call set-up of the head and body. Take advantage of the built-in speakerphone or a headset!
• "The distance is your friend" - the phone away or pay attention to the manufacturer's recommended in the manual distance during the call set-up of the head and body. Take advantage of the built-in speakerphone or a headset!
• Do not position when using headsets or integrated hands-free mobile phones directly on the body - special caution applies here for pregnant women. In men, mobile phones are a risk to fertility in your pocket. Persons with electronic implants (pacemakers, insulin pumps et cetera) must pay attention to distance. Unless otherwise possible: outer coat pocket, backpack or purse to use!
• Not in vehicles (car, bus, train) calls - without an external antenna, the radiation in the vehicle is higher. In addition, you will be distracted and you molest in public transport the other passengers!
• During steering the auto exists absolute SMS and internetworking ban - the distraction leads to self-endangerment and endangering other road users!
• Calls at home and at work via the fixed network - Internet access via LAN cable (eg via ADSL, VDSL, fiber optic) is not irradiated, is fast and secure data. Duration Radiant DECT cordless telephones, WLAN access points, data sticks and LTE Home base stations (Box, Cube et cetera) should be avoided!
• Walk often offline or use Airplane mode - for functions such as listening to music, camera, alarm clock, calculator or Offline games is not always an internet connection required!
• Fewer apps means less radiation - Minimize the number of apps and disable the most unnecessary background services on your smartphone. Disabling "Mobile services" / "data network mode" turns the smartphone again a cell phone. You can still be reached, but avoid a lot of unnecessary radiation by background traffic!
• Avoid the phone calls in places with poor reception (basement, elevator et cetera) - in such situations increase the mobile transmit power. Use in poor reception quality a headset or the speakerphone!
• The purchase of mobile phones of a very low SAR value and an external antenna connector ensure!
