Originally posted by rhodopsin I carried a pager for many years, but put my foot down hard when asked to use a cell phone, and I never have. My Dad's EE, my own Physics studies, numerous warnings published over the years, and first hand experience seeing effects of microwave towers on surrounding vegetation, such as stunted and weird growths for thousands of feet, lead me to believe the radiation is harmful to health.
Could Your Cell Phone End Up Killing You? | Personal Health | AlterNet All the participants in that study have one thing in common, though, or at least most of them: they're businessmen who are
constantly on their phones, virtually every waking hour of every day.
That said, I rarely have the phone to my ear. I use speaker whenever possible holding the phone away from me. I'm getting a bluetooth for when I can't use speaker.
