Monkey Girl loves to play with my cell phone. It is so cute to she her walking around with
it held to her ear saying “Hello Papa”!
However, I started to worry the more I read about cell phone radiation. I am so glad I got a Pong case for my iPhone!
In May 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified
cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” The WHO based its findings on a large,
international study coordinated by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer that showed an increased risk of a certain type of brain tumor called
glioma from regular use of cell phones – defined in the study as 1,640 hours or
more of cumulative use. In consumer
terms, that equates to slightly less than a half hour of daily use over a
10-year period. Adding to the evidence is a separate 2011
study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA),
which found that 50 minutes of cell phone use affected brain activity in the
area nearest to the phone. Concerns about SAR have led the FCC to impose strict
SAR limits on cell phones and tablets and mandate that Apple, Blackberry and
other cellular device makers warn consumers not to put their cell phone
directly against their head or body when using it. But seriously, how do you use a cell phone
without putting it directly against your body?
I guess you could use the speaker phone, but honestly, how often do we
do that.
Founded in 2011, Pong Research Corporation
is the world’s leading maker of cell phone and iPad cases that protect smart
phone and tablet users from the wireless device radiation that the World Health
Organization classified in 2011 as a possible carcinogen. Developed by
scientists out of Princeton , Harvard, UCLA and
MIT, Pong cases have been tested and proven in FCC-certified labs to reduce the
level of exposure to wireless device radiation by up to 95% below the target
set by the FCC. Pong embeds in each case
a patented and proprietary technology that redirects and redistributes the cell
phone radiation that would otherwise be absorbed by the user’s head and body. Easy to put on and take off, Pong cases fit a variety of iPhones, BlackBerrys
and Android phones as well as the iPad and iPad 2, are available in a variety
of colors and styles and have been designed and tested to work anywhere in the
world. For more information, visit
