They say mobile phones are harmful to the health due to the radiation that it emits. I saw on a news program that mobile phone radiation reduces sperm count thus causing infertility.
Hmmm.. I think that’s a cause for alarm.
But it looks like mobile phones – which emits radiation – will become a tool to detect radiation – the one that could eliminate humanity.
Researches are now developing sensors for mobile phones for it to be able to detect radiation from nuclear bombs and similar devices.
The idea is that the more people armed with radiation detectors the better chance we have of getting a terrorist before they detonate a device.
The system is capable of detecting a weak radiation source 15 feet from the sensors. – Infoworld
Along with the sensors, they are also developing a system whereby all phones will be able to inform a central station about radiation threats.
Such a system could blanket the nation with millions of cell phones equipped with radiation sensors able to detect even light residues of radioactive material. Because some cell phones already contain global positioning locators, the network of phones would serve as a tracking system, said physics professor Ephraim Fischbach. Fischbach is working with Jere Jenkins, director of Purdue’s radiation laboratories within the School of Nuclear Engineering.
