Can Cell Phone Radiation Damage Your Brain - The Elevator Situation

Do cell phones cause brain tumours? And what would happen if you took your mobile phone into an elevator? Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:38 How mobile phones work 01:51 Is microwave radiation harmful? - how microwaves affect our body 02:51 Do mobile phones cause brain tumors? 05:00 Impact of elevators on mobile phone radiation -- Summary: In order to transmit information wirelessly, cell phones rely on the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are 2 ways to study the health effects of microwaves: experiments in the lab and experiments in humans. A key step in the development of cancer is damage to our DNA. From a pure physics perspective, microwaves are too weak to break the bonds between DNA molecules. So it is very unlikely that microwaves could trigger the development of cancer. When it comes to experiments in humans, it would be unethical to expose people to large amounts of microwave radiation. So we cannot answer this question directly. In
