Another valuable use for aluminum foil head protection. Thanks for keeping psychos occupied with the Danger of Cell Phones, and thus less able to annoy us in other ways.
When i was in radio, they always told us to limit our time in the transmitter room due to the hazards of RF. Now people are putting RF to their heads. I have no doubt cell phones could cause health problems, but you'll never hear about it because the massive class action lawsuit would be simply unimaginable.
The research community, based on over half a century of work, has found only a single credible link between nonionizing radiation and cancer -- joule heating. In short, you cook yourself. This occurs only when energy absorption exceeds tissue's ability to dissipate energey (circulation, perspiration, etc). FCC RF exposure limits, which are engineered into every service and application, reflect this limitation with a large safety margin.
Every few years, some crackpot will come along and claim to have discovered some new correlation, and invariably sloppy epidemiology is to blame. One should be very, very, VERY critical of such claims.
for later
I did researches on this for my Master degree a few years ago. To be honest, non-thermal effects seem to exist if epidemiological studies are to be trusted, and one model of mechanism has been proposed and I that it is numerically replicable in my studies.
The results are about 3% elevation of risk.
No. Next!
