Radiation emitted by digital devices

Every electronic devices emits some type of radiation, otherwise they would be useless..
Light from computer, TV, cell phone, sound wave from cell phone and radio wave from wireless router emit the radiation.

Do LCD screens emit radiation?

LCD displays generate an image by illuminating a matrix of tiny light. Unlike CRT, an LCD has no tube and no electron spray and generates no X-ray. LCD device do, however, emit low level of radiation depending on manufacturer, brand and model.

Are the current limits of radiation from cell phone safe?

Cell phone emits RF (radio frequency) energy which the high level of RF energy can heat human tissue much like the way a microwave oven heats food. A recent Swedish study found evidence that long-term, extensive cell phone use significantly increases the risk of brain tumor. However, a contradictory study performed by the London-based Institute of Cancer Research and three British universities found that cell phone risk does not increase the incidence of brain tumors in users. For me, there is no conclusion that mobile phone is absolutely safe, so it is unsafe.

How to avoid access cell phone radiation?

Use hand-free headset or its speaker-phone.
