Would knowing the radiation levels of cell phones affect your next purchase?
San Francisco might soon require cell-phone retailers to post the amount of radiation emitted by each model they sell. Would knowing the radiation levels affect your cell-phone purchase?
TODD BROWN, Miami Twp.: “It depends on whether it’s enough of a dose that it’s going to hurt you. You’re allowed so much exposure per year. It would be a factor in my decision if the difference was large enough.”
KATIE PARKS, Kettering: “I would pay attention to it. Nowadays everything causes cancer, so why not try to lessen your exposure?.”
STEVE CARRERA, Xenia: “I never really thought about it. You get so used to using a cell phone that it would be like the warnings on cigarettes. If you’re smoking, you ignore the warnings.”
KATIE ROSS, Fairborn: “No, as long as I get good service.”
MATT LASLEY, Beavercreek: “Probably not, depending on how high-tech the phone was. If it was a really cool phone, I’d probably still buy it, no matter how high the radiation was. Price would be a bigger factor to me.”
