Cell Phones

General Information

NEWS:

Cell Phones Found to Activate Brain Areas "The researchers from Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Isola Tiberina, found that the electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted by cell phones can cause some cells in the brain's cortex adjacent to the side of phone use to become excited, while others become inhibited. They suggest that this could have beneficial effects for people with migraines, stroke or dementia, and possibly detrimental effects for those with epilepsy, the study authors suggested."

DON'T USE MOBILE PHONE DURING STORMS, WARN DOCTORS

Driving While on Cell Phone Worse Than Driving While Drunk "Maneuvering through traffic while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident five-fold and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report. That finding held true whether the driver was holding a cell phone or using a hands-free device, the researchers noted."

FDA Knocks Cell Phone-Brain Tumor Study

Mobile phones affect brain waves in bed

Study: Cell Phone Users Have Lower Sperm Counts "Results of tests on the men's sperm showed significant declines in four standard measures of sperm quality, including count, viability, motility and shape, with a definite link to the average amount of time spent using their phones daily."

JOURNAL ARTICLES:

Are some people sensitive to mobile phone signals? Within participants double blind randomised provocation study (BMJ 2006) "Conclusions No evidence was found to indicate that people with self reported sensitivity to mobile phone signals are able to detect such signals or that they react to them with increased symptom severity. As sham exposure was sufficient to trigger severe symptoms in some participants, psychological factors may have an important role in causing this condition."

Cell death induced by GSM 900-MHz and DCS 1800-MHz mobile telephony radiation. (Mutat Res. 2006)

Cellular Telephone Use and Cancer Risk: Update of a Nationwide Danish Cohort (JNCI 2006) "Conclusions: We found no evidence for an association between tumor risk and cellular telephone use among either short-term or long-term users. Moreover, the narrow confidence intervals provide evidence that any large association of risk of cancer and cellular telephone use can be excluded."

[Effects of Electromagnetic Fields Emitted by Cellular Phone on Auditory and Vestibular Labyrinth.] (Laryngorhinootologie. 2006) "CONCLUSION: The investigations made show that the electromagnetic fields generated in using the mobile phone do not have an effect on the inner ear and auditive system to the colliculus inferior in the brainstem and on the vestibular receptors in the inner ear and the vestibular system."

Effects of electromagnetic radiation from a cellular phone on human sperm motility: an in vitro study. (Arch Med Res. 2006) "CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that EMR emitted by cellular phone influences human sperm motility. In addition to these acute adverse effects of EMR on sperm motility, long-term EMR exposure may lead to behavioral or structural changes of the male germ cell. These effects may be observed later in life, and they are to be investigated more seriously."

Mobile phone radiation causes changes in gene and protein expression in human endothelial cell lines and the response seems to be genome- and proteome-dependent. (Proteomics. 2006) "This suggests that the cell response to mobile phone radiation might be genome- and proteome-dependent. Therefore, it is likely that different types of cells and from different species might respond differently to mobile phone radiation or might have different sensitivity to this weak stimulus."

Mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma risk in Japan. (Occup Environ Med. 2006) "CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that there is no significant increase in the risk of acoustic neuroma in association with mobile phone use in Japan."

Source of Funding and Results of Studies of Health Effects of Mobile Phone Use: Systematic Review of Experimental Studies (EHP 2006) " Our findings add to the existing evidence that single-source sponsorship is associated with outcomes that favor the sponsors' products (Bekelman et al. 2003; Davidson 1986; Lexchin et al. 2003; Stelfox et al. 1998). … There is widespread concern regarding the possible health effects associated with the use of cellular phones, mobile telephone base stations, or broadcasting transmitters. Most (68%) of the studies assessed here reported biologic effects. At present it is unclear whether these biologic effects translate into relevant health hazards. Reports from national and international bodies have recently concluded that further research efforts are needed, and dedicated research programs have been set up in the United States, Germany, Denmark, Hungary, Switzerland, and Japan. Our study indicates that the interpretation of the results from existing and future studies of the health effects of radiofrequency radiation should take sponsorship into account."
