@carl-blare I know we are getting off topic but to add that potential harm also depends on amount of times and duration of exposure you get. If you use a cell phone once or twice a day for 5 minutes that most likely will never do any harm but everyone doesn't use it sparingly, they live with this and have it against their head hours a day and are then holding it staring at it every waking minute of the day, day after day, month after month, year after year. For example, an xray, is ionizing radiation, the same or almost the same stuff that comes from radioactive materials like from a bomb blast or uranium, or from space from solar flares from the sun. But the dentists will tell you that if you take a plane from Toronto to Chicago you are getting 1000s of times the radiation that a few bite wings gives you from space at 40,000 feet and it's miniscule the amount you get here for 1/2 a second. Even a medical xray of your back gives you the equivalant of a couple of days sitting in the sun in the summertime. If you eat food you are getting some ionizing radiation. I large banana gives you almost the radiation of 1 digital bite wing at the dentist! My point, harm depends on duration/amount of exposure. If the dentist turned on the xray and it stayed there for 10 minutes and you did that every month or the same with a medical xray that would be a different story. Problem is that smartphones is an addiction and like other addictions the addict doesn't care about the harm. Just like cigarettes, if they came out tomorrow with concrete evidence of microwave harm long term it wouldn't matter as no one would stop obsessing with phones. It's an addiction.
Back on topic...
Your meter mentioned won't work with wi fi and phones accurately and the link I posted with an app in the phone giving you the radiation measurements in real time use when it's  transmitting is a great idea. You can get a cheap meter on Amazon for wi fi.

That is not off-topic at all, Mark. Talking about microwave safety measurements and microwave hazards are in the same category.
