Bangalore:
According to a paper released by international electromagnetic
radiation (EMR) watchdogs, including Powerwatch and the EMR Policy
Institute, brain tumor can be caused by cell phones. EMR watchdogs
have sent a paper named "Cellphones and Brain Tumors: 15 Reasons for
Concern, Science, Spin and the Truth behind Interphone," to
government leaders and media.
"Exposure to cellphone radiation is the largest human health
experiment ever undertaken, without informed consent, and has some
four billion participants enrolled. Science has shown increased risk
of brain tumors from use of cellphones, as well as increased risk of
eye cancer, salivary gland tumors, testicular cancer, non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma and leukemia. The public must be informed," said author of
the report L. Lloyd Morgan who is a Retired Electronics Engineer and
also member of Bio Electromagnetics Society.
The paper has revived the old debate on whether cell phones really
cause brain tumor and cancer. Consumers now wonder whether to
believe the paper or think that this is just another conspiracy
theory. Through the report the author wants to address the design
flaws in the Interphone study protocol that results in an
underestimation of the risk of brain tumors from cellphone use.
The paper claims that there is a "significant" risk of brain tumors
from cell phone use and EMR exposure limits that have been used by
governments and supported by industry are based on the false premise
that EMR has no biological effects except for heating.
The study also mentions many precautionary measures that government
can implement to reduce the brain tumor risk. It suggests
governments to keep certain establishments free of wireless device
radiation, including schools, child day care centers, retirement
homes and health care institutions. The paper also urges government
of various countries to prepare their own annual reports on
electromagnetic radiation exposures.
