Roskachestvo’s spokesperson for consumer safety, Maxim Protasov, has dismissed claims that ordinary mobile phones emit dangerous levels of radioactivity. In a discussion reported by RIA News, he stressed that the concerns about radioactivity are unfounded and not backed by scientific evidence. The message to the public is simple: phones operate within the same safety standards as most household electrical devices, and there is no verified scientific basis for labeling them as radioactive threats.
According to Protasov, the typical Russian smartphone user spends more than two and a half hours daily interacting with a device. This is a separate issue entirely, focusing on eye strain, posture, and repetitive use symptoms rather than radiation. The assertion drawn is that while extended screen time can affect wellbeing, the risk linked to radioactivity from smartphones is not supported by credible research. The emphasis remains on responsible usage and awareness of how long screens are held close to the face rather than on any hidden radiation hazard.
The official position is that radiation levels from modern smartphones align with other common electrical appliances. What remains a topic of public interest is not the presence of radiation itself but how information about radioactivity spreads and how it influences choices. In this context, credible explanations point to the absence of verified data showing harmful radiation exposure from everyday phone use. The focus is on factual, science-based communication that helps consumers understand device safety without unnecessary alarm.
Beyond safety claims, there are practical concerns about how phones are used in daily life. A key area involves privacy and data security, particularly around apps that request access to the microphone and other sensors. Industry voices, including cybersecurity experts like Alexey Raevsky, highlight that some applications may collect or transmit information in ways that raise privacy questions. The core takeaway is to review app permissions, keep devices updated, and use reputable software to minimize unintended access. This perspective complements safety discussions by addressing the broader digital environment in which smartphones operate.
Recent discussions also touched on how public policy and school environments regulate smartphone use. Conversations around practical controls in schools point to balancing educational needs with responsible device management. The overarching theme is clear: safety, privacy, and healthy usage patterns should guide both personal choices and policy decisions, supported by accurate information and proactive digital hygiene.
