physmurf said:the wavelength of the radiation can in no way affect the cells in the brain.
That man I heard in the interview said that the previous study results no longer apply supposedly because changes in cell technology have resulted in changes in the energy it gives off.Ivan said:I know for a fact that work was done in the early to mid 80s to at least rule out cellular damage caused by heating due to the RF used in MRI.
TheStatutoryApe said:changes in cell technology have resulted in changes in the energy it gives off.
TheStatutoryApe said:From what he said the use of micro waves on such a broad scale is relatively recent. Again I have no idea just how reliable his information was but he made it sound like it just wasn't a common thing until the advances of digital wireless communication.
Pengwuino said:Well... cordless phones have been running at the 2.4ghz range for a while now and 900mhz has been around for a long time so it can't be much worse then what we're use too... but then again who knows what the intensity is compared to cell phones.
I sit right next to a wireless router 2.4ghz, a 2.4ghz bluetooth transceiver and 2 bluetoothe devices, and a 900mhz cordless phone nearby and my 3 foot wide brain hasnt experienced any pain or discomfort :P
Studies have shown conflicting results on the link between cell phones and cancer. Some studies have suggested a potential association, while others have found no evidence of a link. However, the overall consensus among researchers is that there is currently no definitive proof that cell phones cause cancer.
The type of radiation emitted by cell phones is known as radiofrequency (RF) radiation, which is a type of non-ionizing radiation. This means that it does not have enough energy to damage DNA and cause cancer. However, some studies have suggested that long-term exposure to RF radiation may have some biological effects, but more research is needed to determine if these effects are harmful.
Some studies have suggested that certain groups of people may have a higher risk of developing cancer from cell phone use, such as children and adolescents, as well as those with a family history of cancer. However, the evidence is still inconclusive and more research is needed to determine any potential risks for these groups.
To reduce potential risks, it is recommended to use a hands-free device, such as a speaker or headset, when talking on the phone. It is also advisable to limit the amount of time spent on the phone and to avoid keeping it close to the body, especially during sleep. Additionally, using the phone in areas with good reception can also help to reduce exposure to radiation.
Although there is currently no clear evidence that cell phone use is harmful during pregnancy, some studies have suggested a potential link between prenatal exposure to RF radiation and behavioral problems in children. As a precaution, it is recommended for pregnant women to limit their exposure to cell phone radiation and to keep the phone away from their abdomen.
