Cell Phone Safety - Find your cell phone here!

[Analog]

Back in 1996, in an effort to address growing concerns about cell phone emissions, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established radio frequency exposure guidelines for cell phones. They developed the term ?SAR? or Specific Absorption Rate as a way of measuring the absorption of cell phone emissions into the body. The maximum legal SAR level in the United States is 1.6W/kg (watts per kilogram). SAR levels for cell phones typically range from .2W/kg and 1.58W/kg.

Siemens M65 not on the list but I imagine it would be the same as the S65 at 0.48... so is that good or bad?

It's 0.88... ohwell. Still means nothing to me.

Right, she compiled the list, which is available in word format from the link I gave you.

A worthless list. (Where is Samsung, anayhow?)

There is no valid evidence linking cell phone use to cancer or brain tumors. NONE.

A Danish study (conducted by Johansen et al.) linked data on all of the 420,095 cell phone users in Denmark between 1982 and 1995, to the Danish Cancer Registry and found the same results as the three case-control studies. The results are the following:

**The brain cancer patients didn't report more cell phone use than the subjects who were free of brain cancer. In fact, for reasons that remain unclear, most of the studies showed a tendency toward lower risk of brain cancer among cellular phone users.

**When different types of brain cancer were considered, none were consistently associated with cell phone use.

**When specific locations of tumors within the brain were considered, no associations with cell phone use were found.

**None of the studies showed 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.

I'm so suprised you weighed in on this side of the argument :roll:

There is no valid evidence linking cell phone use to cancer or brain tumors. NONE.

A Danish study (conducted by Johansen et al.) linked data on all of the 420,095 cell phone users in Denmark between 1982 and 1995, to the Danish Cancer Registry and found the same results as the three case-control studies. The results are the following:

**The brain cancer patients didn't report more cell phone use than the subjects who were free of brain cancer. In fact, for reasons that remain unclear, most of the studies showed a tendency toward lower risk of brain cancer among cellular phone users.

**When different types of brain cancer were considered, none were consistently associated with cell phone use.

**When specific locations of tumors within the brain were considered, no associations with cell phone use were found.

**None of the studies showed 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.

yet anyway.

I'm so suprised you weighed in on this side of the argument :roll:

What side? The side of logic and facts?

Again, there are NO valid, peer reviewd and repeated study linking cell phone use to tumors or cancer in humans. NONE.

would you say it's a good idea to be wary and try to limit the time you spend on them as reasonably possible?

That survey is FAR to small, and over far too small a group of individual to be very illuminating, i suspect that the amount of time those people spent on their mobiles back then is dwarfed hugely by normal usage stats today...any idea what the power output of those phones back then was too?

EDIT: added to which, i wonder if the different frequencies in use today have potentially different effects on you?

Only to save money on your bill.

Half a million is two small?

Look, this is NOT the only study ever done. ALL valid, peer reviewed and repeated studies have found NO link. None.

It simply amazes me how, when humans in much of the world finally have some of the safest societies they can achieve, they start LOOKING for danger where none exists. As if we instinctively NEED to find danger.

What is even more amazing is they want, nay NEED to believe these myths. And will poo-poo logical, scientific facts and instead believe myths and anecdotal evidence.

All i'm saying is that there's no harm in being cautious wrt mobile phone usage, i mean common sense suggests that holding a powerful microwave emitting device against your head for hours a day doesnt SOUND like a good idea does it?

frequencies...not power output

like CDMA vs the two GSM bands is what i meant.

Powerful? Cell phones emit a VERY low level RF. Nothing "powerful" about them. IIn fact, Cell phones are 2/3 weaker than they were when those studies were done.

And no, I will not fear something that has been studied for over a decade and no harm has been found.

common sense says, hurtling down the road in excess of 60 mph isn't a good idea. common sense says, spending in excess of 4 hours a day in front of a radiation source like the PC instead of excercising isn't a good idea. common sense says . . .

oh ya, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, so, what exactly SHOULDN'T you be cautious of?

I've got to agree. A value of N of about half a million for a study like that is huge. I would like a link to this study though, it would be nice to see where it was published and the author's credentials.

Still, after over 10 years of significant cell phone use worldwide and not one single shred of scientific evidence to link phones to brain cancer, I think its time to drop the myth that there is some sort of link between the two.

well i guess you draw the line where you want to

Actually IIRC there was a recent study that showed a considerable impact on male fertility caused by mobile phones...was in quite a few papers i think?

Much better link - they have Samsung and many others.

 

[dug777]

Which would appear to be a negative side effect of mobile phone use...correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[hypn0tik]

Did somebody say SARS?

 

[dug777]

Well i googled the fertility thing, looks like the consensus is we need to do more tests in the area to be sure...now perhaps you thats worth being cautious about, unless you've already had your kids

I use my CDMA phone a fair bit, but if i can i use a landline, and i try not to carry it around in my pocket all the time...doesn't seem crazy or overreacting behaviour to me...

I draw the line at verifiable facts and logic.

Not myths and irrational, unfounded fears.

As for the fertility study, it is HIGHLY questionable, and has not been repeated. In fact, it contradicted a number of similar studies.

The press reports it because it is sensational, not because it is valid.
