Mobile Phones

Jean-Charles, 

There have been many studies conducted that have concluded that 
there is no correlation between exposure to electromagnetic 
radiation (mobile phone, electric power wires) etc.. I do not have 
the references at hand. Others probably will. The following article 
was published yesterday, and it goes right to your question:

Former Engineer Sues BT, Claims Phone Hurt Brain

LONDON (Reuters) - A former engineer with British Telecom said 
Sunday he has sued the company, claiming his mobile phone has 
left him brain damaged.  

Steve Corney, 38, said prolonged exposure to the radiation from 
the mobile phone had caused him to lose his memory even before 
he left his job at BT in 1995.  

``I'd lose my memory of the time I was on the phone, so even when 
I got the information that I required, I'd have to ring up again 
because I'd already forgotten it,'' he told reporters at a news 
conference.  

He was a BT engineer for almost 10 years, and said he used 
mobile phones for long periods of time.

A BT spokesman declined comment on Corney's individual case, 
but said there was ``no convincing scientific evidence that
mobile phones pose any health threat.''

``BT, along with all the other telecom operators, has been carefully 
studying all the reports and evidence concerning mobile phones 
and the effects on health,'' the spokesman added.
