The Potential Hazard
The use of mobile phones is now endemic worldwide. OFCOM figures for Q4 2011 in the UK state that 91% of adults personally own / use a mobile phone.
Alongside the explosion of mobile phone use, has been a growing concern that exposure to low-level electromagnetic radiation, such as that emitted by a mobile phone in use, can be harmful to human health. Many studies have been documented over the last 20 years that have attempted to evaluate the health risk related to electromagnetic radiation, and more specifically radio-frequency electromagnetic fields.
The greatest perceived health risk is cancer. The majority of exposure at high signal strengths will take place during a call, with the phone generally held adjacent to the head. Consequently brain cancers are the most likely form of cancer caused by exposure. Population-based studies of the link between mobile phone use and brain tumours have generally been inconclusive, with some showing an increased risk. However enough evidence exists that the WHO has classed mobile phones as a Class 2b “potential carcinogen” and stated that further research is necessary.
Our Solution
Magdi UK Ltd holds the sole and exclusive licensing rights to UK patent (number GB2482421) of a scientifically-evidenced active technology that reduces the potentially harmful effects of the low intensity electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) emitted by mobile phones.
The core of Magdi’s invention makes use of the Near Field Communication (NFC) transmitters incorporated into the latest generation of smartphones. Magdi’s technology involves activating the NFC transmitter to produce a ‘confusion field’ during a call. The confusion field aims to counteract the potentially harmful effect of the phone transmission so that cells close to the phone are unaffected, or the harmful affects are greatly reduced.
Although the potential
harm to human cells remains contentious, a recent review of work of various
researchers in this field supports Magdi’s view that electromagnetic noise
fields are effective in mitigating any effects that are seen.
