Cell Phone Radiation Killing You

A Professor says your cell phone is killing you:

I googled the study's author Girish Kumar. He has dozens of on-line references concerning the dangers of cell phones and towers. In one of his presentations, he mentioned that the allowable power levels for cell phones in India is 3 times that of Canada and 4.5 times that of Australia. That probably has an effect on the applicability of his results outside India.

Hogwash.

If someone threw one at you hard enough, it might kill you.

 

With the amount of money they charge me for all the things that the cell phone does, they are killing me...money wise that is! :itold:

 

Here's another one:

sam, you get more radiation in your body by flying in a plane across the arctic then from a cellphone.

 

Heavy users spend hours per day most days on their cell phone. Only flight crews spend that much time on planes. Here's info about it:

The fact is that there is no documented evidence from a controlled environment in a replicatable experiment with unanimous results that has been reproduced and reaffirmed many times over to affirm the accusations.

 

We can all live inside foam padded plastic bubbles. But still the chances of death are 100%. Best way to avoid death, don't live..... LOL

woops, sorry, I meant cell phones not planes. Should've been more specific on that one.

 

That is a good perspective to look at it from.

 

Here's a link:

There are a large number of credible studies. Jesus, PLEASE take a minute to check before you make statements like that!

 

Here's how terahertz waves tear apart DNA:

I did some looking. There are cost benefit analyses on using them while driving (equivalent to driving drunk) but I couldn't find any on EMT hazards.

I'm sure you're right. If one were done, they would rank down there with bee stings.

It's one of those hot button issues that people like to get excited about. Here in Canada, we're having a similar issue in which a few parents have decided that Wi-Fi in schools will give their kids cancer.

 

Yes. However, aircraft expose you to ionizing radiation (the bad kind, the kind that's been shown to cause cancer.) Cellphones expose you to nonionizing radiation.

If total radiation exposure is what you are worried about, then you're in a tough spot, because most people are exposed to a lot of radiation during the day. Visible light is radiation; so is radiant heat.

 

While that's interesting, cellphones do not operate in the terahertz bands.

 

First of all, if there was any correlation with cell phone usage and health, considering the millions of very heavy cell phone users, then by now the effects wouldn't be hard to spot since cell phones have been in use for 30 years, and in heavy use for over 20 years.

Second, if you are worried about the EMR from your cell phone use a friggin headset, then the cell phone doesn't have to anywhere near your head.
