On March 7, medium published a news story that was signed by 200 scientists from 40 countries, according to the site, warning users of AirPods and other cordless phones from being carcinogenic.
The statement exists so far, but it was published in 2015, and does not specifically refer to any type or type of devices, but it is a formal request from a group of scientists to governments to take it seriously and fund research that shows the exposure results of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other wireless devices.
Philips, one of the signatories to the petition, said the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) had warned that wireless headphones emitted by radio frequency radiation using Wi-Fi, cellular data and Bluetooth technology could pose a risk of cancer.
. However, a study conducted in 2018 by the National Toxicology Program in the United States revealed that male rats exposed to this radioactivity had carcinogenic heart tumors, as well as the possibility of brain disease.
When the results of the study were published, Ronald Melnik (now retired), who was the chief toxicologist at the beginning of the research, said it was unlikely to come to a conclusion regarding the effects of these radiation on humans.
Electromagnetic radiation may be a danger to our species, but it is up to the scientific community to use these data and determine the map and how radio frequency levels can affect us at any levels.
In the case of AirPods, they communicate with the smartphone via a Bluetooth connection, which also emits electromagnetic radiation.
In 2018, Leeka Kheifets, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Reuters that the risks of Bluetooth technology to human health are likely to be much lower than the wireless phone signal because communication occurs between the phone and the headset at a much lower distance between the smartphone and the tower. The mobile signal, which requires much less power to operate. However, it remains a mere assumption.
They can replace Bluetooth headsets with conventional headsets, but as we have seen, there are no studies yet to prove that wireless devices pose any danger to human health.
