Does Your Cell Phone Hold Dangers?
Cell phones emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation and several past studies have proved this can be a known carcinogen and can cause tumors.
Cell phones emit two types of electro-magnetic fields (EMF); microwaves from the antenna and extremely-low fields (ELF) from the body of the phone, which is the radiofrequency type of radiation.
Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a component of the World Health Organization, has classified radiofrequency fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Several international studies show that there is a link between brain and salivary gland cancer with increased cell phone use. But according to the World Health Organization more long-term health studies need to be conducted.
Scientist Dr. Martin Blank, associate professor of physiology and cellular biophysics at Columbia University in Manhattan has been researching electro-magnetic fields (EMF) for over 25 years.
“Our body reacts to EMF as potentially harmful,” Blank told The Christian Post. “The accepted safe level for RF range is 0.4W/kg and most public exposure levels of cell towers and antennas are at 0.8W/kg based on a SAR (specific absorption rate) of 4W/kg as the level at which adverse effects are said to be determined.”

Yet, there are other opinions within the cellular industry depicting that RF radiation levels are below the dangers levels. Dan Collins, chief technical officer from the Pinnacle Telecom Group, a New Jersey based independent firm providing technical services nationwide to the telecommunications industry said that all cell towers and cell phones comply with FCC regulations.
“The latest reports from the World Health Organization are inclusive and a lot more research has to be done about any carcinogenic effects from cell phones or antennas,” Collins explained to The Christian Post. “SAR rates are higher in smart phones, but we do not know if that is harmful. There are 4-5 billion cell phone users worldwide and smart phones just came out in the market, so we do not have all the data yet on these devices. We would need over 10 years to really look into any harmful effects from this technology .”
Dr. George Carlo, a public health scientist and founder of the Science and Public Policy Institute in Washington D.C. says children are particularly susceptible to the radiation generated by cell phones because their brains are still growing.

“Cell phones can disrupt cardiac pacemakers, it compromises the blood-brain barrier and most startling it inflicts genetic damage and that is a known diagnostic marker for cancer,” said Carlo. According to a nationwide study, the Global System for
"Although there remains some uncertainty, the trend in the accumulating evidence is increasingly against the hypothesis that mobile phone use can cause brain tumors in adults," the report states. In May, the World Health Organization issued a report
A study by Swedish researchers found that children and teens who used cellphones are five times more likely to get brain cancer than those who didn't have mobile phones. And the earlier the child gets a cell, the greater the cancer risk. Co-parenting.
Using mobile phones may not increase the risk of brain cancer, according to a new analysis of scientific evidence published a month after a World Health Organization agency said the technology may cause
OTTAWA - An international study which debunks research linking cellphones to cancer risks received major funding from wireless manufacturers. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on
A prominent Cancer expert has just issued a warning about cell phones
Everything including things such as laundry detergent, birth control pills etc………i wish i could remember the show its was on W4 (a canadian show) they even gave a list of everyday products that have it all sorts of things we dont think about but use everyday…plus we are exposed to radiation everyday…from the earth….the sun…all im saying is you can drive yourself nuts about these things…all we can do is limit our exposure to things we know are really bad…..
- Sari R. . There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe,” states background information on the FDA’s web site.
The FDA explains that wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency (RF) while being used and very low levels of RF in standby mode.
“Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissues), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects,” the FDA states. “Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing these studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.”"
with newer technology there is less radiation. in the 1980′s there was a buttload of radiation, but that technology sucked butt. of course there is gonna be radiation, but does that mean that it is gonna be enough to give you cancer? i have no clue.
