    How many of us view our cell phones as an essential gadget? In today’s day and age, bet none of my readers will give a negative reply to this. Touted to be the most addictive product of the era, the cell phone addiction is being considered as the current age epidemic. Even though it promises to connect us to the world, it has succeeded in disconnecting us from people standing next to us. Moving over the social disadvantages, let’s take a look at how this communicating device is harmful to our health too. The radiations emitted by almost all cell phones are listed down at Environmental Working Group’s online guide. It calculates the specific absorption rate (SAR) for each phone. And if this term is greek to you, then allow me to enlighten you that SAR is a measure of how much radiation is absorbed by the body when the phone is sending a signal to the network. By the way, how many of you are aware that our phone emits radiation only when we talk or text? Though 1000 cell phones were ranked, here is a list of top ten lowest radiation cell phones and top ten highest radiation cell phones. It is pleasure to know that Samsung holds five out of the top ten best-for-health category. While Motorola bags five out of ten places for worst-for-health category. Blackberry users also need to know that the Bold and the Curve find a place in the ten highest radiation emitting list.
    Roll over to go through the lists…….
