Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation
In a study published by the National Institutes of Environmental Health Services in 2003, Professor Leif G. Salford, Chairman of Department of Neurosurgery at Lund University in Sweden stated that, “voluntary exposure of the brain to microwave from hand-held mobile phones … {is} the largest human biological experiment ever.” His 15 year research showed that electromagnetic radiation can cause passage of a protein called albumin into the brain and cause serious brain damage in animals. Other researchers have found that prolonged exposure in humans may result in such conditions as headaches, confusion, sleeping problems, depression and mood swings (Karolinska Institute, Uppsala University, Wayne State University, 2008), nausea, muscle pains (Health Protection Agency, 2005), autism (Tamara Mariea CCN, 2007), cancer of salivary glands (American Journal of Epidemiology, 2007), cancer risk (Kundi, 2004), ringing in the ears, inner ear damage and hearing loss (American Academy of Otolaryngology, 2007). It is not surprising that Molly Wood, Senior Editor of CNET.com wondered if history will repeat itself and the cell industry in near future would become Big Tobacco 2.0 (3/8/2005).
Cell Phones and Brain Cancer
There has been a vigorous debate among scientists, industry and public health officials about increased risk of brain cancer associated with cell phone use (Kundl 2009; Hardell 2009, American Cancer Society 2008; IARC 2008). This is not surprising because it takes many years, perhaps decades, for cancer to develop. Since cell phones first came to the market in mid- 1980s after FCC approved the first mobile phone in 1983 and have been in common use for a little over a decade, short-term studies did not find increased risk of brain cancer (Ahlhorn 2009; Croft 2008, FDA 2003). However, longer-term data among people who have used cell phone for over ten years showed increased risk of developing two types of brain tumors (glioma and acoustic neuroma) on the side of the brain where cell phone is usually held (Takebayashi 2008; Hours 2007; Lakhola 2007; Schuz 2006; Lonn 2005).
Environmental Protection Group (EWG), a Washington D.C-based non-profit organization with a mission to protect public health and the environment,
performed a 10-month investigation of health risks associated with cell phone radiation in more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific studies, industry
documents and government advisories throughout the world (2009).

EWG report emphasizes the following recent studies regarding health risks pertaining to cell phone radiation:
- Brain cancer: Two analyses of 25 original publications identified a 50 to 90 percent increase in risk for two types of brain tumors: glioma and acoustic neuroma. (Hardell 2009, Kundi 2009).
- Salivary gland tumors: An Israeli study found an increased risk of 50 to 60 percent for salivary gland tumors among people with highest cell phone use. (Sadetzki 2008).
- Behavioral problems: A study of 13,159 Danish children showed 80 percent elevated risk for emotional and hyperactivity problems among young children who use cell phones and whose mothers also used cell phones during pregnancy. (Divan 2008).
- Migraines and vertigo: A study of 420,095 Danish adults showed that long-term cell phone users were 10 to 20 percent more likely to be hospitalized for migraines and vertigo than people who took up cell phones more recently. (Schuz 2009).
