Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer? An Article by Green American

jcarroll — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:26:48 +0000

In a recent article, the Green American asks: Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?

The telecom industry says no, the fine print on cell phone packaging says maybe and some leading scientists say we should be very concerned.

Read on before you dismiss the warnings about cell phones. There’s real cause for concern behind the industry smokescreen.

Non- Thermal Effects & Mechanisms of Interaction Between Electromagnetic Fields and Living Matter

jcarroll — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 18:01:47 +0000

Globally more than four billion phones are in use, with more than half of all users believed to be children and young adults. Over the past two decades, models of the human head have been devised based on imaging studies and used to estimate the extent and rate of radiation energy absorption to the brain, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). IEEE and ICNIRP SAR recommendations rest solely on avoiding thermal effects on the adult male head under conditions of a six minute long call and do not take into account the long-term cell phone use, the length of calls, non-thermal biological effects, the smaller size and greater physiological vulnerability and increased absorption to the heads of children and females.

Dr. Devra Davis discusses the dangers of Mobile Phone radiation with Sonya Feldhoff on the Australian radio program Drive.

Mobile phones have become a permanent fixture in our lives but what effect do they have on your health?

Dr. Devra Davis, a visiting professor at Harvard and author of the book Disconnect, has done studies into mobile phone radiation and how it effects a person’s brain, their cells and fertility.

After analysing the results Dr Davis never keeps her phone on her body or in her pocket and always uses a headset, hear the interview here.

Dr. Devra Davis Responds to Latest Study by Leaders of WHO

Environmental Health Trust responds to the largest study to date on cell phone risks, published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine on January 27. Dr. Devra Davis summarizes that the authors are warning people to be careful about how they use cell phones until additional research is complete. The authors of the study found that individuals who average 27 minutes of cell phone use a day have a 50% greater risk of developing malignant brain tumors on the same side of the head where they held their phones.
