Roughly 270 million Americans do it several times a day: talk on a cell phone. Seems harmless. But when you make and re¬ceive calls, your cell phone emits low levels of radio-frequency radiation — a fact that has fueled heated and ongoing scientific debate on the health risks of mobile-phone use.
On Sept. 9, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a public-health advocacy, released a lengthy review of past research linking long-term or frequent cell-phone use with increased rates of brain tumors, migraines and kids' behavioral problems. For their part, the phone industry and the Federal Government say cell phones are safe. The "majority of studies published have failed to show an association between exposure to radio-frequency from a cell phone and health problems," states the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on its website. But concerns are high enough that the Senate on Sept. 14 held hearings - led by Democratic Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, a brain-cancer survivor - to examine the subject. The outcome: inconclusive. “The current [industry] safety standards are not sufficiently supported," says Dariusz Leszczynski, a Finnish radiation researcher who spoke at the hearing, "because of the very limited research on human volunteers, children and on the effects of long-term exposure in humans."
