A huge, 30-year study called COSMOS has been launched in Europe to determine whether cell phones cause cancer and other health problems. Meanwhile, policymakers in Sacramento are considering legislation to ensure people know how much radiation their cell phones emit. The wireless industry vigorously opposes such legislation. It argues that its phones comply with regulations, and there is no consensus about risks so people don’t need to know this. Our research review published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found alarming results to the contrary.

We reviewed 23 case-control studies that examined tumor risk due to cell phone use. Although as a whole the data varied, among the 10 higher quality studies, we found a harmful association between phone use and tumor risk. The lower quality studies, which failed to meet scientific best practices, were primarily industry funded.

The 13 studies that investigated cell phone use for 10 or more years found a significant harmful association with tumor risk, especially for brain tumors, giving us ample reason for concern about long-term use.

Do federal regulations adequately protect the public? The 1996 Federal Communications Commission regulations are based upon the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), a measure of heat generated by six minutes of cell phone exposure in an artificial model that represents a 200-pound man’s brain. Although every cell phone model has a SAR, the industry doesn’t make it easy to find it. Moreover, children, and adults who weigh less than 200 pounds, are exposed to more radiation than our government deems “”safe.”"

It is time to revamp the FCC regulations. Laboratory scientists have found harmful effects from cell phones that emit less radiation than the FCC standard. Moreover, some scientists believe that cell phones’ heat transfer is not what we should fear. These researchers have found that variation in the frequencies emitted by cell phones may be hazardous.

We should address this issue proactively even if we do not fully understand its magnitude. Our government has faced similar public health threats in the past. In 1965, although there was no scientific consensus about the harmful effects of cigarettes, Congress required a precautionary warning label on cigarette packages: “”Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health.”" More specific warnings were not required until 1984: “”Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy.”"

Should we have waited 19 years until absolutely certain before we informed the public about these risks?

Although more research on cell phone radiation is needed, we cannot afford to wait. There are 285 million cell phones in use in this country, and two-thirds of children over the age of seven use them. Manufacturers bury the SAR within their owner’s manuals, along with safety instructions to keep your phone up to an inch away from your body.

Nine nations have issued precautionary warnings. It is time for our government to require health warnings and publicize simple steps to reduce the health risks of cell phone use.

Cell Phone Radiation Protection

Remember when there was all that hype around the possibility of cell phones causing cancer? Well, since then, cellular devices have advanced, and not even the possibility of carcinogenic risk can stop us from using our devices. In fact, cell phone use has skyrocketed since then these reports first came out, and a significantly higher percentage of people have a mobile device now than compared to then.

If the risk of cancer does not change our habits, then I am at a loss as to what will. Perhaps this: Studies have shown that mobile phone usage is linked with depression. A study conducted in South Korea found that one-third of the survey participants used their phone more than ninety times on a daily basis. These participants also tested higher on surveys that gauge levels of depression. Although this group did not test at a “clinically depressed” level, it is compelling evidence that cell phone dependency is a growing factor in psychological health.

Younger generations have reported signs of anxiety if they forget their cell phone at home for a day. Experts contemplate that this could be related to dependency similar to an addictive behavior.

It is clear that with the advancement of technology, the movement away from cell phone usage is unlikely. With the development of new uses for mobile devices, people are bound to become more dependent and less concerned with the consequences when it comes to physical and/or psychological health. No one can quite for see the future hazards of excessive cell phone use, however, just as technology evolves, anything is possible.
