These days, our mobile phones are rarely far away. Whether it’s in your hand, your pocket, or under your pillow at night.
Mobiles do emit radiation in order to connect to phone towers, which enables us to stay in contact with people and the internet.
But is that radiation doing us harm?
Norman and Tegan talk through the facts – what we do know, don’t know and suspect about our tech companions.
What's That Rash? is coming to YouTube! Keep an eye out for the video version of this episode on ABC Science.
