By: Coogobox The increasing use of smartphones has raised concerns about their safety. Addressing such concerns is difficult, because no conclusive data are available on possible health effects from long-term exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields. Although, the RF energy from cell phones poses no confirmed health risks, cell phone use is not entirely risk-free. "We do not know whether human body reacts at all to mobile phone radiation. If the answer is yes then: are children more sensitive than adults and what could be the consequences of prolonged exposures to this radiation, when users will be exposed for their life-time. In the absence of such information, any statements indicating that the use of mobile phones has been shown to be safe might be premature... The last 10-20 years are the first years in the history of human species when our brains are being closely and directly exposed to this, novel to them, radiation. The current safety standards might be the best what can be done using the presently available scientific evidence and they should not be altered arbitrarily, without scientific justification. However, these standards are not yet sufficiently supported by the science and cannot be considered as scientifically reliable." (Leszczynski and Xu, Health Research Policy and Systems 2010, 8:2) The amount of RF energy absorbed depends on a number of factors including how close you hold the phone to your body. As most of us use phones as alarms we often place phones under our pillow or next to the bed. Bad idea! Phones emit electromagnetic radiation whenever they are on - so sleeping with a phone nearby boosts your exposure all night long. WAVE offers radio-frequency radiation shielding, which dampens the amount of smartphone radiation you are exposed to overnight. The front cover provides RF shielding that decreases the amount of radiation exposed to anyone nearby, particularly in front of the enclosure. The smartphone could still receive and transmit information wirelessly because the rear of the enclosure is not shielded. In addition to the shielding feature, WAVE is designed to dock and charge your smartphone overnight. WAVE is made of plastic and is internally lined with a layer of high-performance RF radiation shield fabric. The fabric is sourced from Aaronia AG, a German-based company that specialized in RF screening solutions. The Aaronia-Shield fabric simultaneously protects against both RF and LF (low frequency) E-field radiation. The fabric is made of a high-tech shielding-fibre. WAVE has been tested at NorthWest EMC's facilities. Over-The-Air (OTA) tests were conducted to measure radiation emissions. OTA test predicts wireless device performance capabilities. The shielding fabric in WAVE is proven to reduce radiation levels on the front, left and right sides. The top, bottom, and back are unshielded to allow the phone to maintain internet and phone connection. With Just 30 days left in this campaign, your support is urgently needed! Please look at all the rewards they have for those who make a contribution. Please consider getting involved, at whatever level you can, and help “WAVE” get funded! We need your help: If you can't afford to donate, don't worry - there are plenty of other ways you can help. Please take some time to share our campaign across your social networks and encourage your friends and family to donate.
