To all out there who may be useing or who may wish to know the score on
mobile pone safety before buying one:
On Saturday December 10, 2000, on page A5 of the Austin American-Statesman
newspaper, the above subject had a three column spread by Emma Ross of the
Associated Press. Measures included precautionary leaflets and $10 million
for further research.
The leaflets summarize the safety research to date, saying "experts have
concluded that although no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes
brain tumors or other ill effects, a health risk cannot be ruled out,
particularly for children." (An interesting statement, considering many ill
effects have been discovered in laboratory animals and in cell cultures when
irradiated with cell phone frequencies!.....and many electrically
hypersensitive persons are starting to loudly complain....jb)
It's about time we had some research done on the long and short term effects
of the low intensity microwave energy with which we are irradiating our
brains!!! It may be difficult at this late date in cell phone proliferation
to perform research free from vested interest interference. Let us hope we
can see some progress in Britain in this new proposed research.
Meanwhile, for those of us who must have cell phones, we can avoid most of
the potential long-term radiation hazard by:
1. Installing metal-screen-type radiation shield covers on the phones to keep
the microwave transmission energy away from the head and only radiating from
the antenna while talking. (information can be obtained from
www.microshield.co.uk and www.goaegis.com).
2. Using cell phones which are built with the antennas as far from the head
as possible.
3. Using the phones as little as possible.
4. Using the phone OUTSIDE!! Inside an automobile (except cloth-top
convertibles) or a building (with metal frame) requires an extra power boost
to reach the nearest antenna, therefore you are getting a much higher dose of
radiation.
5. If you must continually use a cell phone from the inside of an
automobile, it is preferable to use a hands-free type of phone installation
in your car, WITHOUT the earphone, and an external roof-mounted antenna.
Recent research shows (unfortunately) that the use of an earphone INCREASES
the radiation level, due to some sort of antenna phenomena. Today (timely
synchronicity!) I received an email about a hands-free cell phone headset kit
(available in February 2001) which greatly reduces the radiation
problem....further information may be obtained from paulburn@btinternet.com
6. Noting that receiving messages on cell phones and pagers requires a low
level of radiation from the antenna tower to the cell phone. It is the
transmitting of voice messages from the cell phone to the antenna tower that
produce the most radiation. And be aware that that radiation level goes up,
depending on distance of tower and any metal in the way of the cell phone
antenna.
It is likely that, as more research reveals the extent of health hazard and
as more of the public becomes concerned, there will be an effort by the cell
phone manufacturers to improve antenna location, and build in suitable
shielding for both phone and earphone extensions.
It is interesting to note that when the TV transition from black and white
images to color occurred, it was not long before the manufacturers started
putting more lead glass in front of the cathode ray tube screen to lower the
effects of long-term low level video radiation on child behavior! It was
clearly shown, early-on in long-term up-close color TV exposure by children,
that hyperactivity was induced. John Ott showed that in a movie made over 40
years ago, using lapsed-time photography.
The British report on mobile phone safety is available at: www.iegmp.org.uk
The World Health Organization fact sheet on mobile phones is available at:
www.who.int/inf-fs/en/fact193.html
Microwave radiation specific absorption rates (SAR) in Watts/Kg of user body
weight may be obtained for many models of both analog and digital cell phones
at: www.sardata.com/sardata.htm
I hope this information will be of some use to you. Please share it with
your friends who use cell phones.
Regards.
