Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are talking about cell phones and if the radiation they emit can cause cancer. ABC's Yunji DeNies looks at a new study that says when you take a call; you could be taking your life in your hands.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are talking about cell phones and if the radiation they emit can cause cancer. ABC's Yunji DeNies looks at a new study that says when you take a call; you could be taking your life in your hands.

All cell phones emit radiation, but some much more than others. According to a new study, using any of them could be dangerous. The environmental working group is warning that using a cell phone for 10 years or more significantly increases a person's risk for certain types of brain cancer.

“The studies are showing 50-90% increased risk for those rare tumors.”

They say kids are especially vulnerable. “Their skulls are thinner, they absorb about twice the radiation of an adult.”

A phone's age, shape, even the number of features won't tell you how much radiation it emits. In fact, the study says that the T-Mobile my touch 3g is one of the highest emitters, the Samsung Impression is one of the lowest. Both are newly released and cost exactly the same price.

T-Mobile says their devices "more than meet strict federal safety guidelines." That’s true of all phones sold in the U.S. and CTIA, an industry trade group says "scientific evidence has overwhelmingly indicated that wireless devices do not pose a public health risk."

The FDA has also found no link between cell phones and cancer, but brain cancer specialist Dr. Ron Herberman says “much like tobacco, cell phone radiation emissions need tougher regulation.”

So do you think cell phones are the new cigarettes? “I hope they're not. But they can be.”
