California Health Officials

Actually, I seldom see anyone using a cellphone as a phone .. as a nation we surely have the fittest thumbs on earth.
Anything coming out of California is pure BS
“California Department of Public Health”
Yeah, that’s a reliable source.
Cell phones cause global warming!!
I read the so called fact sheet and there were no facts. Stupid Californian’s.
Second hand smoke from cigarettes will absorb the radiation from cell phones.(True Dat!)
Now, we are told it's killing them. I'm failing to see the down side...
This is the same country which exported millions of its jobs, then forced everyone to buy s**t from Communist China etc, which sells us back products with little or no RF shielding. Like these imported Plasma TVs. Those things will give you a tan just sitting in front of them.
“Gov. Brown calls on legislature to ban cell phones and wireless headsets.”
(I hope, I hope, I hope!)
from the report:
“...and not carry it in your pocket or directly on your body, unless it is off.”
Wouldn’t this defeat the very purpose of a cellphone? How can someone reach you in an emergency if the cellphone is off?

I’m not so quick to dismiss it. My cousin was a telemarketer for years, and used a cell phone all day. He died from a brain tumor that was located exactly where used his cell phone. It could have been coincidence, but we just don’t know enough about long-term exposure to EM radiation to know for sure.
We're all gonna die!!
A seven year old study? Isn’t that ancient in terms of cell phone technology?
California is mexican for greasy ass crack.
Oh boy, another Prop 65 warning label: “Known by the state of California to cause cancer.”
FREAK-A-ZOID stuff
This will have the same impact that the Prop 65 cancer warning signs have which are plastered on EVERY product you buy and on EVERY building you enter. Zip, Zilch, Nada.
Electro-magnetic radiation (EMF) is produced by all alternating current sources. Your hair dryer, since it has a stationary brushes in contact with the revolving commutator, releases electro-magnetic radiation as current reversal occurs as the rotor rotates from pole to pole. Both your computer and monitor creates emit EMFs. Here is the List:
Sources of EMF:
Power Lines:
An enormous amount of electricity is created at power generating stations and sent across the country through wires that carry high voltages. All power lines radiate electromagnetic fields.
Transformer:
EMFs near a transformer can be quite high, but due to its small structure, the field strength diminishes rapidly with distance, as it does from any point source.
Home Wiring:
Loop wiring in the home may create large EMF.
Computers:
Computers are a complicated subject. Know this: EMFs radiate from all sides of the computer. Thus, you must not only be concerned with sitting in front of the monitor but also if you are sitting near a computer or if a computer is operating in a nearby room.
Electric Blankets and Water beds:
Electric blankets create a magnetic field that penetrates about 6-7 inches into the body.
Electric Clocks:
Electric clocks have a very high magnetic field, as much as 5 to 10 mG up to three feet away. If you are using a bedside clock, you are probably sleeping in an EMF equivalent to that of a power line.
Fluorescent Lights:
Fluorescent lights produce much more EMFs than incandescent bulbs. A typical fluorescent lamp has readings of 160 to 200 mg 1 inch away.
Microwave Ovens and Radar:
Microwave ovens and radar from military installations and airports emit two types of radiation–microwave and ELF.
Telephones and Answering Machines:
Telephones can emit surprisingly strong EMFs, especially from the handset. This is a problem because we hold the telephone so close to our head.
Electric Razors and Hair Dryers:
Electric razors and hair dryers emit EMFs as high as 200 to 400 mG.
So at some point I guess I should fell ashamed of sticking my brother’s head in the microwave and turned it on?
