Broken home button on iphone 6

Hello, the home button of my iphone 6 is broken and I have been using the assistive touch button. I’m concerned if the broken home button exacerbates the risk of radiation. Any insights would be appreciated.

Phones don't emit ionizing radiation. The levels of non-ionizing radiation it emits are not harmful. The sun, on the other hand, emits some very harmful, cancer causing radiation.


That being said, deggie is correct, a non-working Home button is a problem in using the phone.
