Swimming In A Deadly Sea:
Awash In Radiation

Kathleen Deoul: Doesn't that get to the heart of the problem,
the duration of exposure?
Copulos: Absolutely, Kathleen. There is more and more
evidence concerning the dangers of long-term exposure to
non-ionizing radiation.
Kathleen Deoul: But despite the mounting evidence, the
cell phone industry continues to insist that there isn't
a problem, don't they?
Copulos: Indeed they do, Kathleen, but they may not be
able to much longer. As you know, about half of the studies
that were done in regard to the potential hazards of cell
phones say that there are no health effects, and about
half say there are. But if you look more closely, what
you see is that the half that claim no problem exists are
primarily funded by the industry, and the half that say
there is a problem are independently funded.
Kathleen Deoul: Yes, but as you were starting to say,
isn't it a matter of duration?
Copulos: It certainly is, Kathleen, and it's also a
matter of intensity. In fact there have been two recent
studies that shed considerable light on the potential hazards
of non-ionizing radiation and cell phones.
Kathleen Deoul: What did they say?
Copulos: Actually, they said several things. Perhaps
the most important is the most recent study, conducted
by the Swedish National Institute for Working Life and
the University of Orebro. Perhaps the most comprehensive
research to date, the study included 2,200 cancer patients
and the same number of healthy individuals. What the
researchers determined was that there was a 240 percent
increase in the risk of developing a malignant brain tumor
among individuals who had been heavy cell phone users for
ten years. The researchers defined heavy use as around
200 or more hours per year.
Now bear in mind, that a young person using their cell
phone 15 and a half hours per month, would average 186
hours per year, dangerously close to the level where the
researchers said there was an increased risk of brain
tumors.
But that's not all they said.
They pointed out that in 85 of 905 patients with a type
of brain tumor called a glioma that were heavy cell phone
users, the tumor was located at the very portion of their
head where they habitually held their cell phones.
The connection seems pretty clear to me.
