AN Israeli company has developed software that monitors a mobile phone's radiation levels and alerts the user if the levels becomes excessive.
Tawkon said the aim was to reduce a phone user's exposure to emissions without having to give up their phone.
Tawkon's application is already available for Research In Motion's BlackBerry handsets and will be launched for Google's Android-based phones and Nokia's Symbian later this year.
The application monitors the phone user and if radiation levels reach a certain threshold called the "red zone" an alert is emitted along with suggestions to minimise exposure.
