There are approximately five billion cell phone subscribers in the world. A study proving that cell phone use causes brain cancer or other harmful health effects would cause a lot of litigation. India, recently announced a plan to require manufacturers to prominently display the level of radiation emitted by cell phones. There is also local support in the United States to prevent construction of cell phone towers near schools. Cell phones emit a electromagnetic radiation called radiofrequency (RF which comes in the form of ionizing and non-ionizing.) To date, heating of body tissue is the only proven biological effect of RF energy. <br /><br />The amount of RF energy absorbed from the phone is called the specific absorption rate (SAR) which is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The current SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram of body weight. Does RF energy from cell phone use affect the brain and other tissues in the head which in turn causes cancerous (malignant tumors such as gliomas) and noncancerous brain tumors (for example acousitc neuromas, menigiomas, and parotid gland tumors)? <br />Radiation emitted by cell phones is much lower than that emitted by x-rays, gamma rays, or even microwaves. Although exposure to high levels of RF radiation can cause harmful health effects, it remains unclear whether the lower levels of RF radiation emitted by cell phones are similarly dangerous. Epidemiology studies are difficult because of the lengthy latency period between RF exposure and the onset of brain tumors. Conclusive long-term data about cell phone related RF exposure may not be available for another generation. However, a recent Swedish study in 2011, found an increased risk for gliomas, a malignant brain tumor type, particularly as the latency time and cell phone hour usage increased. On the other hand, a Europeon study conducted solely on children and adolescents with brain tumors suggested that cell phone users were not statistically significantly more likely to develop brain cancer than nonusers.Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-70139460839278320742011-05-31T19:29:56.210-05:002011-05-31T19:29:56.210-05:00Update 5-31-11: Recent literature on cell phone us...Update 5-31-11: Recent literature on cell phone usage has caused us to ignore the chatter for a while. Radiation from cell phones may possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team concluded that personal exposure was "possibly carcinogenic to humans."<br />There was some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users. They have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancersLegal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-32510598270494561462010-01-12T13:22:21.127-06:002010-01-12T13:22:21.127-06:00Stop spamming on this site or you will be charged ...Stop spamming on this site or you will be charged for advertising.

The second (conducted by Muscat et al.) compared 469 brain cancer patients, diagnosed between 1994 and 1998, in New York, Providence and Boston, with 422 controls. The third and largest study (conducted by Inskip et al.) was conducted in Phoenix, Boston and Pittsburgh. It compared 782 brain cancer patients, diagnosed between 1994 and 1998, with 799 controls.<BR/><BR/>A Danish study (conducted by Johansen et al.) attempted to link data on 420,095 cell phone users in Denmark between 1982 and 1995, to the Danish Cancer Registry and found the same results as the previous case-control studies. The conclusion?<BR/><BR/>The brain cancer patients didn't report more cell phone use than the subjects who were free of brain cancer. In fact, most of the studies showed a tendency toward lower risk of brain cancer among cellular phone users. No particular type of brain cancer was consistently associated with cell phone use.<BR/><BR/><BR/>No specific locations of tumors within the brain were considered, associated with cell phone usage. <BR/><BR/>No previous study has shown a clear link between the side of the head on which the brain cancer occurred and the side on which the cellular phone was used.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Animal experiments have yielded conflicting results. A few studies suggest that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in rats.<BR/><BR/>However, many of the studies used rats that had been genetically engineered to be predisposed to develop cancer. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day.<BR/><BR/>Since these conditions are not similar to human wireless phone usage, the significance of such studies is unknown.<BR/><BR/>In sum, the majority of evidence shows no consistent association between cell phone use and brain cancer. More research is needed before any definite conclusions can be known. In the interim, keep using the cell phone to communicate and pick up people in the bars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-8764504029718789892008-04-07T10:02:00.000-05:002008-04-07T10:02:00.000-05:00A woman would have to be brain dead from chronic c...A woman would have to be brain dead from chronic cell phone use for any of these lines to ever work!<BR/><BR/><BR/>BerthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-34808526195794793332008-04-07T09:51:00.000-05:002008-04-07T09:51:00.000-05:00One more secret revealed.
