The T-Mobile myTouch 3G emited 1.55 W/kg closely followed by the Blackberry Bold 9000 which emitted 1.51 W/kg of radiation. At the other end of the spectrum the Samsung Impression was the lowest with 0.35 W/kg.

The research conducted by Environmental Working Group also showed that anyone that uses a cell phones for ten years or longer most likely have serious health problems. The organization has suggestions for users to limit radiation such as texting instead of talking, using a headset and holding the phone away from the body.

    Dangers have been around for centuries, but a little-known workplace hazard existed in the 1920s and 30s when young women factory workers were exposed to paint made from radium. They were painting watch and clock dials with paint made with radium powder, which they believed would be safe. The young women were encouraged to lick the tips of their brushes to produce a sharper brush stroke. The Radium Dial painters died from radiation poisoning and related cancers from this practice.
