Jury
Still Out on Health Effects of Cell Phone Use
This report from Newhouse News Services summarizes the various
sources and their differing opinions on cell phone radiation and
its effects. Authorities like the World Health
Organization, FCC and Motorola are mentioned. Also
included are possible ways to limit your exposure to radiation.
Cell Phone Signals Excite Brain, Study Finds
A study from Italy reports excitability in cells in the motor
cortex when exposed to a 900 MHz GSM cellular phone for 45 mins.
The results did not show that cell phone use is necessarily bad,
but could affect conditions such as excitability.
Cell phone risks cited in studies. Three
groups find danger of tumors Adding new
fuel to the debate over cell phone safety, three European
research groups in separate studies have found an increased risk
of brain tumors in people who have used the phones for 10 years
or more. Two of the studies found a correlation between the
tumor's location and the side of the head where people reported
they held the phone. One also suggests the greatest risk is in
people who began using the phones before age 20, but researchers
said the study group was small and more research should be done.
FDA to Probe Cell Phone-Cancer
Links - WASHINGTON — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday
it will review wireless phone safety following a recently published study that
raised concerns about a heightened risk of brain cancer.
Cell Phones May Pose Health Risks
for Kids - Parents should think twice before giving in to a middle-schooler's
demands for a cell phone, some scientists say, because potential long-term
health risks remain unclear.
Study Finds High Cancer
Risk From Cell Phones - The use of mobile phones over a long period of time
can raise the risk of brain tumors, according to a Swedish study released on
Friday, contradicting the conclusions of other researchers.
CELL PHONE AND
RADIATION
Researchers Urge Cell Phone Users to Take Precautions
Safe Cell Tab.
Most would argue that
cell phones have changed our lives for the better. They
have enhanced personal security, quickened emergency
response and given us the ease of instant communication.
But the radiation they emit could be placing us at risk
for cancerous brain tumors.
Is Cell Phone Radiation
Dangerous ?:Professor Denis Henshaw, head of the human radiation effects group
at Bristol University, says: "We are steeped in denial over the
safety of cell phones and related technologies."
CELL PHONE AND
CANCER
Cell Phone Cancer Link Seen in Israeli Study. Another
cell phone study has linked use of the devices to cancer.
According to a Tel Aviv University study, prolonged use of
cellular phones is linked to cancer and people who use cell
phones for lengthy periods of time every day are 50 percent
more likely to develop both benign or malignant tumors in
their parotid gland, the main saliva-producing gland that is
located between the jaw and ear, according to the Israeli
study.
Cell phone cancer fears over heavy use. A top
Australian neurosurgeon says the world's heavy reliance on
mobile phones could be a greater threat to human health than
smoking and even asbestos. Vini Khurana, who conducted a
15-month "critical review" of the link between mobile phones
and malignant brain tumours, said using mobiles for more
than 10 years could more than double the risk of brain
cancer.
Cell phone cancer:
With the use
of cell phones on the rise, many health risks continue to
surface.
Cell Phone Cause Cancer:
Environmental physicians are leaning toward the belief that
many illnesses are caused by the environment.
Cell Phone And Brain Cancer: Some of the common complaints of cell
phone users are that they frequently get headaches and tingling of their ears
and head.
CELL PHONE AND
EYE CANCER RISKS
Cell phone radiation can cause visual damage. In a
recent scientific study conducted by a team of
researchers from the Technion, a possible link between
microwave radiation, similar to the type found in cell
phones, and different kinds of damage to the visual
system was found.
CELL PHONE RISKS
Cell Phone Radiation Fears. Fresh fears about the safety
of cell phones have surfaced after France warned children
not to use them to make long calls.
Cell
Phone Health Risks: Cell phone health risks range from the relatively
minor warm ear to the most severe side effects of brain tumors or DNA damage.
Cell Phone Radiation: Cell phone radiation is a
fact of life, even as microwaves cook our food.
Cell Phone Radiation Protection: In light of
the recent cases of radiation illness, and the growing public awareness as a
result, cell phone radiation protection devices have come under scrutiny.
Cell
Phone Danger: The only way to keep yourself and your family 100
percent free of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from your cell phones is not to
use them at all.
Electromagnetic Radiation: Anything with an electric current emits
electromagnetic radiation (EMR) EMR includes infrared radiation, microwaves, and
radio waves.
Mobile
Phone Radiation: With the rise in cell phone use in recent years,
there has been an increase of many illnesses, including brain tumors and other
neurological disorders.
CELL PHONES AND CHILDREN
Cell Phones May Pose Health Risks for KidsResearchers have
speculated for more than 10 years that the electromagnetic
radiation emitted from cell phones may damage DNA and cause
benign brain tumors, said Henry Lai, a bioengineering
professor at the University of Washington.
A Cellphone for Kids.
The marketing strategies targeted towards
cell phone and child, and the rising sales figures have caused concern, given
the fact that there are preliminary studies pointing to the
adverse impact that cell phones might have on health.
Cell Phones May Pose a Risk to Children.
Children may be more vulnerable than adults to the
potential health risks of using mobile phones, according to a U.K. study
released this week, which urged that nonessential phone use by children be
discouraged.
