Sanyo Katana II

This handset produces the smallest amount of radiation of any phone listed by EWG.

But whether a phone has a high or low absorption rate, using a speaker or connecting a wired headset — while keeping the handset away from your body — can drastically reduce RF exposure. (Bluetooth headsets help too, but they still emit some radiation.) And given the potentially more serious risks for children, who have thinner skulls than adults, parents might want to wait before handing teens their first phone — or at least ensure they use it mostly for texting.
