[ RadSafe ] Re: More on cell phones

Microwaves and cell phones produce Non-Ionizing Radiation and do not look  
for carcinogenic effects caused by ionizing radiation

I agree  that no significant clinical effects have yet been found with   
microwaves and with cell phones, and I certainly am against the hype   
on the subject. To be the devil's advocate, however, there appears  to  
be some local heating to the part of the brain adjacent to the  cell  
phone, the biomedical significance of which is not clear. As is  well  
known, manifestation of the carcinogenic effects of  ionizing  
radiation can be delayed many years, even as many as 25  years after  
the initial exposure. How long have cell phones been  around - maybe  
10? It would therefore be wise to reserve judgement  on the long term  
consequences of cell phone use and to encourage the  use of earphones  
for those who use cellphones intensely.
