  • Cellular telephones emit radiofrequency (RF) energy (radio waves), which is a form of radiation that is under investigation for its effects on the human body (1).
  • RF energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
  • Electromagnetic radiation can be divided into two types: Ionizing (high-frequency) and non-ionizing (low-frequency) (2). RF energy is a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. Ionizing radiation, such as that produced by x-ray machines, can pose a cancer risk at high levels of exposure. However, it is not known whether the non-ionizing radiation emitted by cellular telephones is associated with cancer risk (2).

  • A cellular telephone's main source of RF energy is produced through its antenna. The antenna of a hand-held cellular telephone is in the handset, which is typically held against the side of the head when the telephone is in use. The closer the antenna is to the head, the greater a person's expected exposure to RF energy. The amount of RF energy absorbed by a person decreases significantly with increasing distance between the antenna and the user. The intensity of RF energy emitted by a cellular telephone depends on the level of the signal sent to or from the nearest base station (1).
  • When a call is placed from a cellular telephone, a signal is sent from the antenna of the phone to the nearest base station antenna. The base station routes the call through a switching center, where the call can be transferred to another cellular telephone, another base station, or the local land-line telephone system. The farther a cellular telephone is from the base station antenna, the higher the power level needed to maintain the connection. This distance determines, in part, the amount of RF energy exposure to the user.

  • ''Sexting'' has lawyers grappling for a new definition of what constitutes a predatory sex offender. In general, the law says any nude or semi-nude photo of someone under the age of 18 constitutes child pornography.
  • A 2008 survey by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy found that 39 percent of teens have sent or posted sexually suggestive messages and 48 percent say they have received such messages. Many parents worry the images could find their way onto the Internet, or even worse, into the possession of actual sexual predators.
  • Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus also experienced the pitfalls of ''sexting'' when someone hacked into her phone and leaked racy images of her—meant only for her boyfriend—online.

  • Cell phones are now embedded with cameras and have the capability to send pictures to other phones and computers.
  • With sexting, sexually active kids can harass each other simply and quickly.
  • Because they can’t control who these pictures are subsequently sent to, they run the risk that they may wind up in the hands of a sexual predator or someone else who could harm them.
