Beware! Dual-SIM Phones can cause low sperm count and even cancer

Brightsandz, an anti-radiation organisation, has discovered that prolonged use of dual SIM phones can cause radiation hazards like low sperm count, DNA damage, increase memory loss and even cancer.

According to Brightsandz, prolonged usage of dual SIM phones are associated with enhanced radiation hazards and has a significant double radiation effect which may have serious effects on individual and public health.

Mobile phones give out radio frequency radiation (RFR) when communicating with cell phone towers. The fact that there are two SIMs trying to reach out to two sets of towers, increases the radiation emission by double as compared to a single SIM phone.

For those who use a dual SIM phone but activate only one and put the other on standby mode, the extra radiation still exists. It may not be as high as loaded dual SIM phones but it is still higher than a single SIM phone. 

Brightsandz has highlighted some important things you need to note before buying a dual SIM phone.

• If you are buying a dual SIM phone, please indulge in purchasing from good brands, rather than unverified handsets.
• Please check the specific absorption rate (SAR) value of the phone that you are purchasing. Any SAR value higher than 1.6W/kg is not safe.
• Please do not carry your dual SIM phone in your trouser pocket. Use a belt clip for carrying your dual SIM phone. Use a radiation shielding phone pouch to reduce effect of RFR.
• If you are not using a particular SIM for a long time, switch off that SIM. Some dual SIM phones allow you to set individual SIM settings.
