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).
