Motorola, T-Mobile and Kyocera handsets have been ranked the worst for radiation emissions in a new list released today.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has undergone research on 1,000 mobile phones to show the level of radiation each handset gives out to the user.
In a statement on the site the group said: "We at Environmental Working Group are still using our [mobile] phones, but we also believe that until scientists know much more about [mobile] phone radiation, it's smart for consumers to buy phones with the lowest emissions."
The group has called for products to be labelled to show how much radiation they give out and thinks such a move should led by the government.
The worst offenders on the list were T-Mobile's myTouch 3G - which is actually the HTC Hero - as well as Motorola's MOTO VU204 and Kyocera Jax S1300, all emitting 1.55w/kg.
Motorola was named as the worst manufacturer with six of its handsets making it into the bottom 10. However, its RAZR V8 model was the second least radiating phone, only beaten by the Samsung Impression SGH-a877.
A spokesperson from Motorola told IT PRO: "All Motorola portable radio products are designed, built and tested to assure that they meet all applicable standards and guidelines for safety." "
Numerous scientific expert panels around the world have evaluated the considerable research bearing on this issue and all have reached the same basic conclusion: radio wave exposures like those from wireless phones pose no known health risks."
