Excess use of phone

2021-03-03 17:48:45
I use phone/ tab for around 12 hours in a day( it's necessary for education purpose). I also use Bluetooth headphone for around 5 hours in a day. I am worried if this can be risk to health in future as skin is exposed to radiations? Can you please suggest if this is risk to health?

So far mobile phones have not been linked to  tumors. Mobile phones use non ionising radiations which don't cause DNA damage. It's a good habit to use hands free (preferably not wireless) when using for long periods of time
