In a 2010 study, people who used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were more than two times as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN.“I think it is a good idea to give the public some kind of warning that long-term exposure(暴露) to radiation (辐射) from your mobile phone could possibly cause cancer,”told Dr Henry Lai. Lai is a scientist of bioengineering(生物工程) at the University(大学) of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer:Use a headset(耳机) or speakerHeadsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take it off your ear when youre not talking to anyone.

Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.Hold the phone away from your bodyHold the phone away from your body when youre talking, not against your ear. Also, dont keep it in your pocket.Choose texting over talkingPhones give out less radiation to send texts than to carry a persons voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.Poor signal?
