Can this be used to measure radiation from cell phones?

No, because it is only for low-frequency radiation. A cellphone emits radio-frequency signals. To clarify, the instrument can measure the strength of 60 cycles per second fields that house current might cause, but cellphones transmit frequencies that are 100,000,000 times that. You would need a totally different device for cellphones.

Since I primarily bought this as a wireless speaker for music content on my phone (especially when in the shower), I wasn't concerned about radiation, and unfortunately don't have the answer to your question. However, even when you answer a call from a linked cellphone, it's not necessary to switch on the privacy feature and put the handset to your ear. You can simply use it as a speakerphone and avoid any risk you're concerned about.

well this do cell phonesDoes this do cell phone readings. I read a few in this post that it didn't work for them.

Don't know. It works better than expected for cell phone dead spots. You should contact the manufacturer.

No,this is for extreme high end gamma like from a nuke or reactor leak. I think you are looking for a more sensitive device like a DOS meter.

Simple answer : no, application of this device would not be suitable for that.

Yes, this meter will detect all three forms of radiation - alpha & beta particles, and gamma rays. Using the meter, you should be able to detect elevated levels of radiation if placed near the fish (not through glass). Please note, there is background radiation everywhere (your home, car, outside, work, neighborhood park, etc) so just because it clicks and registers, doesn't mean harmful levels of radiation are present. You must determine what levels are unsafe for you/your family based on scientific dosage guidelines.

Electromagnetic is not radiaton, although not good. I tried it on the microwave which when 5 feet away they were safe levels. So while foods are cooking ,I no longer stand in from of it, looking in the door. Also, I was surprised that the portable phone cradles are high and the coffee pot, which was a shock ! Don't think I would want to live under High Power Lines ! I have not held it up to my cell phone yet. I very seldom use it, but now that you mention it ...I will try it !

yes, it will detect radiation from x-rays. also, it will detect radiation from construction site those soil compact tester (yellow box).

Yes, this devive measures Electro-magnetic fields as well as radio frequencies. Your microwave transmitts radio fequency. Your other devices transmit electro magnetic fields . Basically the closer you are to the device in question the higher the readings. So the farther away you are the safer it is. I like the meter and would recomend it for shure. It also has electric field measurement. Up to 3 mili gaus is considered safe.

The levels of energy are so high that it would, as it is designed to do, burn out most of the equipment. To measure it in a lab, you measure the inputs, the efficiencies and calculate or use attenuation systems indirectly or reflected and diminished signal paths, etc. You would have to know from which direction the energy is coming in, what spectral composition it is, the beam width. But a simple isotropic measuring meter? Nope.

I do know it measures the EMF radiation from Wi-Fi. I do not know the technical specs, however when I tested it in my living room (which faces the neighbor's smart meter) - the beeping on my Cell Sensor EMF Detection Meter just went to the highest danger level. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

i don't think that will work as you would be measuring micro voltage , you may need a galvanometer

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).

This is based on a geiger-mueller tube detector, so it will detect alpha radiation as well as beta, x-, and gamma radiation. i would check the manufacturer website if I were you to verify the suitability.
