Status: offline 		A rad is a unit to measure absorbed radiation. Or the amount of X-rays when absorbed that causes the destruction of cells.

That's if I remember correctly.

Status: offline 		you are correct and for that you will catch many fish
its just like taking a xray just over a longer period just a little marble counter tops also put out and so does decaying matter but a cobolt 57 or cadium 109 are a little different spectrum/ wave when i use the xrf i have to ware a dosemitter and write down start and finish and that is measured in milacuries

Status: offline 		yes a 'rad' is a measure of absorbed dose, 1oo ergs/gram.  it is for any material, not just tissue.  for tissue the 'rem' is used and 1 rad = 1 rem.  why i asked is because for the low energy radiation a cell phone emits would not penetrate the outer layer of dead skin.  so there is no 'absorbed' dose.  cell phone use a max frequence of 849 MHz, which converts to 3.5 micro eV, a micro is 0.000001 or a millionth.  it take 2 - 5 eV to break molecular bond to tramform DNA.  so it seems inconceivable for cell phones to cause tissue damage.  BTW i'm a radiation physicist and stayed in a holiday inn express.
