In my previous post, I claimed that there is no proven health effects from radiation emitted by cellular phones based on what I have learned from seminars on Radiation Protection that I have attended. Recently I have read this article and I want to share it with you. Note that I still stand with my opinion and it is up to you to ponder on the following facts.

Some Interesting Facts About Cellphones

Did You Know?

• That up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone, (enough to cause heating), will be absorbed by the user?s head?
• That multiple independent tests have measured up to four times the radiation coming out of the earpiece of a cellular phone, than out of the antenna?
• That a similar amount of radiation comes out from the keypad and the mouthpiece as well?
• That recent studies are showing serious bioeffects at exposures far below the current exposure standard?
• That many phones cannot even meet these arguably inadequate standards?
• That manufacturers could make the phones so less radiation would escape into the user?s head, but most are unwilling to do so, apparently because to do so would decrease their profit, and acknowledge the potential risk?
• That different brands and models of phones have widely different levels of emissions?
• That Lloyd?s of London recently refused to underwrite cellular manufacturers against possible future claims of microwave health damage?
