Apple sold more than 28 million pairs of Airpods last year. However, there are many speculations about the new devices. Scientists believe there is a link between radio frequency radiation and cancer.
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, EMFs (electromagnetic fields) “are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting.” The negative side effects if you are exposed to EMF’s can include the risk of getting cancer.
Airpods may cause damage to your ear due to the Bluetooth technology, a type of electromagnetic frequency, radio wave, that can transmit data.
Scientists believe that the Airpods may be dangerous since they go deep inside the ear canal, and that part of the ear can be very fragile.
In 2002 and 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified EMF fields as a possible carcinogenic, which are signs for cancer.
More than 250 scientists have signed petitions regarding the potential risk of Airpods. The petitions warn us about all the types of radio frequency radiation, including those that come from Bluetooth devices. Apple still has not responded to any of these claims.
