As a cellular engineer since 1986 with over 7000 cell sites commissioned personally in 49 states and 16 countries, if there were going to be anyone who developed any sort of “condition” from RF exposure it would be me. Not only have I worked nearly continuously around cellular transmission sites for over 25 years, where ERP levels are 60 times that of a typical mobile, I have also commissioned thousands of terrestrial microwave radios ranging from 2 Ghz to 32 Ghz. What you posted is a series of “might”, “could be”, and “maybe” wishful thinking by people who want to go after the cellular industry. These people have been trying to create this boogie man for over 20 years now to no avail. Read up on the well known RF phenomenon called “skin effect”. There are hundreds of engineering reports on the subject available through the IEEE and others. RF does not penetrate human tissue at low power levels, especially at .6 watts (maximum ERP for all mobiles set by FCC rules) transmitted in an omnidirectional radiation pattern at 800-2000 Mhz (cellular/PCS frequencies). Your body is mostly water. RF and water don’t mix well, especially at this power level. This has been a well known fact since the 1950’s. Remember, it takes 1000 watts of highly concentrated microwave energy to pop a bag of popcorn or thaw that roast for dinner. It’s obvious you do not understand the physics involved and prefer to join in the hysteria. I do understand the physics thoroughly and I know, with absolute certainty, what you post is bunk. I am living proof. If you want to cower in fear over RF exposure, be my guest, but please don’t bother posting to me with any more of this junk “science”. Thanks.
So—is there any danger in using a hands free device inside the ear? I have my blue tooth on most of the days so that I can work and drive hands free.
And by the way—thank you for your 25 years work so that we even have cell phones..........
I happen to be a physician. All I'm saying is that the jury is still out. The author of the linked article is an oncologist at Columbia University in New York City who happens to agree.
Do Cellphones Cause Brain Cancer?
It is possible, of course, that even these sophisticated experiments will be unable to determine the risk. The lag time of cancer development with phone use may be 50 or 70 years — and cellphones have been around for only three decades or so.I do understand the physics thoroughly and I know, with absolute certainty, what you post is bunk. I am living proof.
I understand morbidity, mortality, epidemiology and risk factors besides some physics, genetics and epigenetics among other subjects. The professional literature is still inconclusive. Some of it claims effects on human protein expression and DNA.
Your longevity may be no different from heavy smokers who smoked for decades with no apparent ill effects who died because of acute trauma. I hope you continue to enjoy good health.
