googling around abit, to say more research is needed is quite
obvious...think I'll use mine for emergencies only.
Q: Is there any evidence that cell phones can cause cancer,
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, memory loss, etc.?
A: Dr. Lennart Hardell, a Swedish cancer specialist, has recently
announced the results of a yet unpublished study showing that
right-handed cell phone users have a two-and-a-half times increased
risk of brain cancer in the right-hand side of the head where they hold
their phones. Left-handed cell phone users have the same risk elevation
of a brain cancer in the left-hand side of the brain.
There is a substantial body of epidemiological studies reporting an
association between ELF fields and cancer. This caused a 28 member
scientific panel, convened by the US National Institute of Health
Sciences (NIEHS), to conclude in July 1998 that "extremely low
frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields should be regarded as possible
carcinogens". As cell phones, in addition to the microwaves from the
antenna, also emit ELF fields from the internal circuitry of the
handset body, the research relating to ELF effects also applies to cell
phones.
Regarding Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, epidemiological data are
scarcer; there have been studies conducted by Dr. Sobel, UCLA, in
Finland and Los Angeles, reporting a consistent and significant
increase in the risk of Alzheimer's for occupationally exposed
individuals (ELF-type fields) such as seamstresses, power station
operators, TV-repairmen, etc. In addition, laboratory studies on cell
and tissue cultures report that EMFs induce effects similar to the
biological mechanisms believed to be involved in the development of
these diseases.
Many users of cell phones have claimed that they feel the radiation
from the handsets makes them confused and more forgetful. There is
substantial laboratory evidence from studies of animals supporting
these claims. Maze experiments with rats have shown that the animals
have difficulties locating food in the maze when they have been exposed
to cell phone radiation. In addition, scientific studies have revealed
that EMF exposures change the production of neurochemicals in the brain
and central nervous system, indicating a potential induced change in
brain function.
